Northampton and
District Poultry Club Spring Show and Sale.
Feb 2010.
Best Large fowl J Messenger
It was very nice to see some new and very keen exhibitors who will hopefully be inspired enough to keep coming back and showing at our and other shows in the future.
It was also great to see the exhibitors who support our show every time and without whom we would not have a show.
Thank you all for coming and being as enthusiastic as you are and making all the hard work that our club team put into the show worthwhile and enjoyable.
Hopefully we will see you all again in the coming year at our egg show, at the BBQ in the summer and at our Autumn show.
Please see the website for details and the Newsletter that will be coming out soon. Yes it will!!

Several pictures taken on the day:
A good entry of 258 birds, 7 trio’s and 86 eggs.
We also had 40 pens in the sale section, which included some very nice birds at very reasonable prices.
Our judges from North Wales, Dilwyn Green (panel A), Tony Brown (panel C), Aled Green (panel D), a colourful team!
They commented on the high quality of the exhibits and the friendliness of everyone they talked to.
After deliberating for some time they selected a Dutch Bantam cockerel from Messer’s Brown and Reading as show champion and a Blue Furness OEG bantam hen as reserve show champion from Hugh Evans.
