All Exhibitors and Visitors To Note

In light of the fear of bird flu and the threat of the Budgerigar virus the Committee of the Welsh Budgerigar Society have agreed to totally adopt the rules, directives and guidelines set out by the Budgerigar Society and the requirements placed on it by DEFRA. Most of the requirements are matters which will be handled by our appointed Bio Security Officer, Dominic Avo BEM. However, ALL Exhibitors and Visitors are required to take the following minimum actions set out below and are also required to comply with all Bio Security matters as directed by the Bio Security Officer or Officials acting on his behalf.

EXHIBITORS

• By entering your birds into to the show you are agreeing to be bound by the rules and directives of both the Budgerigar Society and the Welsh BS. (copies of which can be read on application to the show manager)

• All birds must be exhibited in CLEAN ‘new style’ show cages.

• No show covers or carrying boxes will be allowed into the show hall at any time.

• On checking birds in, the bottom of the cages must be wiped across the disinfected mat.

EXHIBITORS and VISITORS

• Must only enter or exit the show hall through the approved points, across the disinfected and dust control mats. Care should be taken at these points to avoid any chance of slipping.

• No exhibit may be removed from the staging, except with permission of the show manager.

• No unauthorised use of judging sticks or like instruments.

• Photographs of the birds may only be taken through the cage fronts.

• No bird may be sold, given, exchanged or other wise change hands within the vicinity of the show hall, except with the special permission of the Show

Manager.

NOTE TO EXHIBITORS

It would be a great help if all Exhibitors could return to the show hall, for a few minutes, to help put the staging away and clear up, after they have put their birds into the cars.

Many hands make light work. We can all then go home early.

Looking to the home Welsh boys to lead the way. Thank You All

Ian Weeks - Assistant Show Manager

Country Wide Seed

winners of Best Any Age in Show and Best Young Bird in Show
