Show details

The club's 2010 show was held on Saturday 06 November 2010 at our monthly meeting venue in St Mark's. A good turnout from the public created an enjoyable atmosphere for the club's annual show in which 122 birds were benched. It also chuffed the treasurer as the show returned a profit for the first time in a number of years. Everyone was treated to some fine birds with 'Best in Show' going to a border canary of Trevor Heaver.

A full list of class winners is set out below this selection of photographs taken on the day.

  • Admiring the birds over a cup of tea
  • Winning Fife canary
  • Comparing views on the greenfinches
  • Having a good, steady look at the birds
  • Trevor with best in show for his border canary
  • Talking through the merits of the birds
  • A bank of coloured canaries and gloster canaries
  • Having a chat about the birds with the Show Secretary, Richard Hammond
  • A winning border canary
  • Discussing the merits of a winner
