This is open to club members to make birds available to the public and United members as well. Please RSVP to Steve Bradley, ph. 0417 300 667 or email [email protected], before the 20th July to advise if you will be submitting birds. We need to know who is planning to attend and the number of birds they will be submitting for the sale. There will be a charge to each vendor of $50 for staging hire to display their birds. There is no limit on prices charged, this is up to the discretion of each individual vendor. Any budgies are able to be sold from pet shop quality to exhibition quality, as long as all birds are healthy. The selling of the birds is the vendor’s responsibility and each vendor will need to have their own change available. Please bring along a fold up table if you are planning on selling birds. TRAINING SESSION AND PIZZA Don’t forget the training session on Tuesday 21st July, at 7.30pm, this is aimed at Beginner members. The main emphasis will be on the pairing up of birds. You are welcome to bring birds along to get advice on what the correct parings should be. This is also a social night and a celebration of United winning the Young Bird Shield. Several National class winners will be present, so it gives all members the opportunity to chat and pick up some tips. The club will be providing pizza for dinner, BYO cold drinks.
