ALL VARIETY CANARY SHOW REPORT.

By David Allen.

The All Variety Canary Show was held of the 6^th of January at Sacrewell Farm & Country Centre near Peterborough, there was nearly 2000 canaries on display. Their was also several trade stand cantering for all the fanciers needs from seed, breeding equipment to cages and books, making it an ideal show to get all your supplies for the forth coming breeding season. There was also a clubs row section with a number of clubs with information about there breeds. I had a club table for the Lizard canary association with my own display of information on Lizards, and had a number of people interested in them. I also put a small display on for the Lancashire Canary as well.

Also in attends was Cage & Aviary Birds including the new Editor Kim Forrester.

Making this the best bird show since we lost the National, with most of the top exhibitors across the UK exhibiting. This is great to see for the hobby and shows that the hobby is here to stay.

A number of

Our show manager Saviour Camilleri won second best Norwich.

But the best performance of the day from a South Bucks member has to go to Peter Westbrook who entered 10 Fifes and got all of them in the top 6 including one first and two thirds in a section with nearly 400 Fifes so well done Pete.

Congratulations must go to the organizers Malcolm Plumb , Stuart Fox and their hard working and dedicated team.

SOUTH BUCKS CANARY BREEDERS ASSOCIATION SHOW REPORT.

The South Bucks canary Breeders Association held it’s young canary nest feather show on Tuesday the 16^th of July. There was a total of 24 canaries benched, of 7 different varieties including-, Norwich, Fife, Lizards Lancashire, Glosters, Crests, Dutch frill and Melando Tenerno.

The club called on Internation judge Steve Savage to select best young canary. Steve was please to see a nice variety of canaries to cast his eyes over. Of course most of the birds still had a long way to go, and Steve said he thought later on in the year some of these birds would be pushing for top awards.

Steve final selected a Melando Tenerno of Brian Hoggs as best,  Steve said it was showing all the points that this variety of canary should. Where some of the others still had some growing and developing to go but he was sure that they will perform better late in the season. 2^nd was Saviour Camilleri with a Norwich and 3^rd was Pete Westbrook with nice tidy Fife. Saviours Norwich just would get up on the perch for Steve so it was difficult to put up for best or though it was a very nice Norwich.

The south bucks would like to thank Steve for his time in coming across to judge our show.
