Show Report for 2006 Annual Show

The British Border Fancy Canary Club's Brian Rigby Memorial and Club Show staged at the Marine Hall, Fleetwood attracted a total entry of 840 birds. This was 80 birds down on last years entry. However, this was the second largest all Border show of the year. This was quite pleasing since a lot of breeders this year had a poor breeding season.

The show was again held under a General Licence from D.E.F.R.A. but with less constraints from last years requirements.

The Premier Section was again trialled and had an entry of 121 birds. The Barnett & Brown partnership entered a very strong team of 34 birds. Also Tim Ward entered a very nice team of birds in this section. Some exhibitors are still missing the point in what we are trying to achieve, however, with the more successful exhibitors showing in this section, this is giving the other Champions a better chance of obtaining a special or a Red ticket, as can be proven in the Champion winners list below, and surely this will encourage more people to show their birds.

The attendance at the show was up on last year with visitors again coming from all parts of England, Scotland, Wales and both Northern and Southern Ireland. There were also quite a few overseas visitors from Europe and the USA.

We would like to thank all exhibitors and visitors for their continued support and help at the show, without their support the show would not have been as successful as it was.

The quality and standard of the birds was very high, as usual with many good birds not being in the cards.

Best Border and best Premier was Barnett & Brown with a very nice Cinnamon Variegated Yellow Hen.

Heading the Champion Section was the husband and wife partnership of Keith and Barbara Purvis with a unflighted Clear Yellow Hen.

The Novice Section was very well supported with just over 280 birds entered and was not dominated by any one person. Mick Lowe headed the Novice Section with a very nice Self Green Yellow Hen.
