The Scots Fancy Specialist Club Show took place on 22 October 2022. An entry of 64 saw 57 birds benched and they were ably judged by Norman Wallace of Gloster Fancy fame and now a breeder and exhibitor of Scots Fancies. The event was hosted within Grangemouth CBS and was the busiest show I have attended in a long time. 

Best Novice was awarded to Lauren Wight with her current year bred [CYB] Buff and the Best Novice trophy and the novice special rosettes for the Best Novice White and Buff.  Lauren also won a new style STA show cage gifted by member Sandy Devidge.

The Club has, this year, introduced the awards of Second and Third Best in Show in an effort to address the longstanding issue of "winner takes it all" with just a Best in Show winner. This worked at Carlisle but not at the Club Show where Best in Show, 2nd Best and 3rd Best were all awarded to me with my CYB Buff hen, CYB Buff Piebald and Flighted Buff cock. I also won the trophies for Best Champion, Best in Show, Best Cinnamon, Best CYB Yellow, Best Piebald and Most Points.

Gordon Alexander took the trophy for Best CYB White while the remaining champion colour specials were awarded to me. 









My Belgians were entered in the Any Other Variety classes of the Grangemouth CBS show and one won Best Any Other Variety and his son won his class, both against competition.
