I was there when he suggested it chuda, didn't think much of it at the time....but now you mention it I realise its a sneaky move asking you to judge both, as you said, you cant enter if your judging ............a few schemer`s in our club it seems

don't do it if you had plans to enter why should you the judge should be the first thing sorted and a non member in my opinion atb with it

Agree with oldstrain, you should have an outsider judging all shows, to save any accusations of possible giving a friend a helping hand, this in no way implies that it would occur but all round it is sensible.

We always had outsiders judge that could not be aware of whose birds were whose.


Regards.

its not just a club show, its open to anyone who wants to enter..........we get members from other clubs entering.

Then, David, one should do ones share of judging when requested but not be taken advantage of by ones good nature.

Best of luck and I hope you have big classes.

Regards.

Ask the members if they would like a show for a bit off fun Daz on a sunday morning and if a few off them say yes then get one set up

love the shows over the winter time bit off fun plus you can compare your birds with the other fanciers birds.

I don't mind show-races never bothered or heard of any that are just shows
In the unc unless its the NEHU show.
Iv talked to show pigeon judges to ask what they look for in Show Pigeons,
Interesting

Only visited the NEHU Show once, made big mistake, looked in one class and said those who had entered the pigeons in the class knew nothing about showing.

They were all Up North Combine Winners.


A show pigeon needs everything necessary that is involved in the right place, in the right condition, and in the eyes of the judge more pleasing looking than all the others.

Shows give the little fancier the chance to compete on equal terms as many vary good lookers and handlers are useless racers,

Even in the flown classes the pigeon could have taken a week to fly the distance needed in the flown classes, showing can give much enjoyment in the closed season for racing.

You do need show cages and a club could do many things to obtain the money to purchase them etc;

How times have changed,

We used to have club shows every fortnight during the Winter months, the average entries between 150 and 200, in four classes.

We only had 200n pens and the four local clubs all used to participate, latterly they hold very few shows now. No one can be bothered.

We had judges from outside the area and tea and coffee and cakes were always on offer.

Nearly every fancier used to have a go and it was a good means of keeping the sport an all year round activity.

The fact is that as the old timers have been lost so has many things that made the sport more enjoyable.


Sad.

Our old club, the one we’ve just left,are holding an eyesign show next week, funny enough not one was held while we were members, maybe they’re looking to get some cash into the club now that they’ve ruined it with the arguing over ets

Mr Mrs Llewellyn did well, knowing our club there will be some whispering going on behind the scenes......

were there many birds entered...?

We have One in our Fed. 4 weeks in December. Then a north Rd verses a South Rd … same flyers / contestants. About 10.

more birds for the shows, than were sent racing.............

Years ago maybe about 1978/9 my club held some good shows,can't remember if it was a show/race or just a show.
It was interesting because the judge judged them in front of all the fanciers giving his comments with the aide of a mic.
Think it was made more interesting because of the judges opinion on each bird.
Oh....the judge....Rod and he can talk

Yes, fieldwarker, it was around the same time I was referring to, late 60s etc.

Long gone.

Appears some what disappointing I would maybe suggest Chuda . But credit where due as they say. So well done to those that made a effort to put birds in as such .
