bespoke coloured ceramic beakers on offer to the 14 colour
winners in the specialist & rare variety show and special
glass trophies for the section winners in the young stock
show. The judges received their ceramic beakers as well.
The show
was billed as the Dennis Faulkner Memorial Show and his wife
Ruby was invited to present the awards together with the
Society’s president, Paul Tiller. Dennis was past president,
secretary and subscription secretary of the Society and
before giving up birds he was a very successful breeder and
exhibitor of the lutino and albino varieties with his wife &
partner Ruby.

Janice Al-Nasser did very well in winning the
awards for best crest, yellowface, clearbody, pair,
team & colour budgerigar while Jim Lawrie did well in
winning 3 best of colour awards in the spangle green,
spangle blue & double factor spangle.

award with a light green hen.
In the
