General Meetings in 2016 Our club has enjoyed tremendous success again in 2015 with our membership continuing to grow into 2016. Results on the show bench for all of our members has been exciting and through every one of our general club meetings our membership has learnt more about the hobby they love because we continue to provide excellent guest speakers that continue to grow your knowledge about the budgerigar fancy. We will be continuing with our general meeting mini workshops on a various range of topics in 2016, if would like something discussed pleased contact one of our hard working committee members and we will arrange it for you. Café ABS commences Winter Warmers from our May general club meeting. In 2016 we have already secured some prominent budgerigar fanciers, judges and experts in the of veterinary science to continue on with the good work of 2015 and continue providing our club with these discussions and seminars at every club general meetings which are so important for everybody. We are currently in discussions with many other very senior breeders from Newcastle to provide our membership with a presentation in 2016. Guess Who they are? I am very excited for our club in the future years as we continue to grow and our membership is elevated in stature each year going through the process from Novice to Intermediate and finally Open, it is a great achievement just waiting round the corner for all of you. Keep working hard to achieve your goals we are right behind you. You should all be very pleased with your achievements in 2015 and start planning and setting your goals for 2016. I am very pleased to advise our membership that 2 of our members have enrolled to become trainee Judges with the SQBJA in 2015, good luck Mr. Lucas Hendry and Mr. Glen Kennedy, we will be with you all the way. Please remember that” our club is for everyone” whether you have one pet budgerigar, or are a back yard breeder or are a show exhibition breeder. We all have one common goal to learn more about the hobby we are a part of and our budgerigars. Ask any questions as many times as you would like to. ABS continues in the path as a progressive club.
