traders to attend this event, further increasing the range of products available to all our enthusiastic visitors. By combining this exhibition with the already highly successful Parrot Society October Sale Day at the superbly equipped Staffordshire County Showground a large proportion of the exhibitors were familiar with both the location and the available facilities. As it is located only a few miles to the east of junction 14 of the M6 vehicles can quickly arrive at the Showground. Arrangements are well in hand for the
next Show on Sunday 8th October 2017. A meeting with representatives of all the supporting clubs was held at The Quality Hotel Coventry on Sunday 14th May. Each time we organise this Show we aim to improve both the exhibitor experience and that of the viewing public and the points discussed at this meeting prove invaluable in ensuring improvements continue to achieve these goals. Due to the need to cater for the ever increasing numbers of exhibits we have ordered another three blocks of staging which will be supplied by Ray Howells of Birds and Things. The clubs present suggested that five trophies, one for each section, sponsored by traders would be appreciated by the exhibitors and progress with this excellent suggestion is going very well, I am sure the clubs and exhibitors will be very happy with the
outcome. In order to store the
additional staging we have also purchased a 40’ long storage container to be located at Stafford County Showground. At present we are investigating the best way to move the ‘A’ frames and the shelving in and out of the container in the most efficient manner. “The National Exhibition” will be again sponsored by Richard Johnston of Johnston and Jeff who is now our sole sponsor who has supported us from the start. This year their generous sponsorship has also financed additional new judging stands required are a result of new clubs joining. As exhibits are set to increase and the added attraction of bird seed generously donated by Johnston & Jeff as prizes can only help increase the numbers benched. We are indebted to the management and editorial staff of Cage & Aviary Birds magazine for the production of a very well designed insert, with our contribution being the collation of the information from all the exhibiting clubs. The supplement will hopefully be spread over a number of editions to ensure that the event obtains maximum publicity in this excellent publication, it will as previously carry advertisements from all the exhibiting clubs and details as to who to approach to obtain the Show Schedule for your chosen species. This supplement has now become a feature of “The National Exhibition”.
