GLOSTER FANCY SPECIALIST SOCIE


This year’s GFSS All Gloster was an outstanding success with a record entry of 612 Glosters, but far more importantly 514 birds were on view, on the day, with record numbers in many classes. The judges Graham Beech and Paul Brown had a very busy day picking the winners and are to be commended not only for doing such an outstanding job but managing to complete the task on time, especially with so many quality birds on display. Once again we had top fanciers from all over the country competing for the top prizes, which included cash prizes and wine glasses and whisky tumblers depicting a Gloster Corona.


Best in Show was won, once again, by the father and son partnership of R & I Wright who, this year won with an unflighted Buff Consort hen, this bird also won Best Champion, Best Champion Consort, and Best Buff. Robbie and Ian also won Best Cinnamon with a Corona. Best Opposite Head was won by Burton and Reay with an unflighted Buff Corona Hen. The other main awards in the Champion section were Best 3PD to Cottrell and Rands with an unflighted Corona Hen; Best Yellow to P.Kavanagh with a Consort Hen and Best White to M.Miles with an unflighted Corona Cock.
