The Silver Star
commenced in 1951 and was initially called The Star of
Merit. It is an accolade bestowed upon a member
for outstanding services to the Society. It is awarded in
recognition of any notable achievement in the breeding of
Budgerigars or for meritorious service on behalf of our
Society.
A sub-committee of five members is elected annually, at the
Society's General Council meeting after the AGM, from
existing holders of the Silver Star, to investigate claims
in the year under review for recommendation to the General
Council. Four of those members present at a meeting to form
a quorum.
The sub-committee meets in November only to consider
any nominations sent by members to the General
Secretary by 31st October. The nominations have
to be proposed and seconded by members giving reasons for
such nominations. The sub-committee also reserves the right
to withhold the award of the Silver Star for any particular
year.
Presentation of the Silver Star is made by the outgoing
President at the Society's AGM held in February.
