Arrangements for our long-awaited National Exhibition on Sunday 3rd October, at Stafford County Showground continue apace, with many bookings already made and enquiries coming in. Traders are booking space, and specialist clubs are booking for the Exhibition side. Bookings may be made via the office, or our website, going via the Shop – https://theparrotsocietyuk.org/site/index.php/shop/
Some special precautions will need to be in place to reduce any Covid risk, but hopefully these will be minimal and manageable, and will not detract from the anticipated success of the show.
Once again we hope to have attractive display aviaries, with various species set up by PSUK trustees and helpers. On this occasion, there will be no judged competition, just an exhibit to show people what can be done with a number of different species.
The National Exhibition will be followed by our AGM in November (21st). All nominations for trustees and officers to be elected should by now have been received in the Parrot Society office. The venue announced in last month’s magazine of the Quality Hotel, Allesley, Coventry, will not now be correct, as we were notified at short notice that the hotel has been taken over, and will be closed for refurbishment. We are looking out for an alternative venue at a central location, and this will be announced in the October magazine and on our website.
We have come through over eighteen months of dramatic lifestyle changes owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, and now faced with renewed turmoil in the Middle East, and also undeniable signs of global warming, who knows what the long-term future has for us all? Meanwhile, rest assured that your Council is working hard to sustain the Parrot Society UK during difficulty times, and we will do our very best to put on a successful National Exhibition at Stafford next month.
