The Scots Fancy Specialist Club's annual Club Show took place on Sunday 17 November 2024. I'm treasurer, secretary and show secretary of the Club so it is a lot of preparatory work as well as work on the day. That said, Sandy Innes, the Club president and other club members helped a great deal. 

This year, the Club introduced a range of classes for Old & Rare Varieties and we attracted a healthy entry of 47 birds from 6 exhibitors so it was a success as new venture. 

The judge was a well known local man, Stevie Evans who has been a lifelong bird keeper. 

In the Scots Fancy classes, Best in Show was awarded to myself and 2nd and 3rd Best were awarded to Gordon Alexander. Lauren Wight won the Best Novice award.

The Club show has many rosettes and trophies for colours and the note below gives the details of who  won which.

 

                                                       

In the Old & Rare section, my own Belgians refused to behave for some reason so although I had one   class win with 95/23 (he's won everywhere this year) Best Champion and Best Old & Rare was won by Gordon Alexander. In the Novice section, Tom Maclean took the top award with an English Cinnamon. Colin Lowe took the awards for Best Fiorino and had a great team of Muncheners on show. 

The photos below show these comments and our judge being presented with a canvas print as the Club's thanks for his work.

A very satisfactory show season for me in 2024. Now winter has arrived, it's time to rest and prepare gently for breeding season 2025.
