At long last it would appear that we will be able to go ahead with our major event of the year, The National Exhibition on Sunday 3rd October, at Stafford County Showground, as well as our Help the Birdkeepers Show on Sunday 5th December, at the same venue. Nothing is absolutely set in stone in these volatile times \u2013 look at what has happened repeatedly to people planning holidays abroad \u2013 but much discussion took place at our first live face-to-face Council meeting for sixteen months, about how we would manage and organise these events. I am pleased to say that bookings are now available for entry wristbands and sales tables \u2013 further details are given elsewhere in this magazine. Bookings may be made via the office, or our website, going via the Shop – PSUK Shop<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Already interest is growing fast, both for the sale and show side, and the Exhibition from a variety of different breed societies. I am sure you will enjoy the unique atmosphere of this event, as well as the opportunity to meet up again with fellow-parrot enthusiasts. However, I am sure that as mature parrot people, we can be far better behaved than some English so-called football fans!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once again, we apologise for the long delay on reaching a decision about our shows, but clearly, we had to be guided by Government decisions and regulations, and the ongoing unfolding of this prolonged, nightmare coronavirus saga. Let us hope that this is genuinely light at the end of a very long tunnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is also the time of year that we start to prepare for the AGM in November. To that end, may I remind you that all nominations for trustees and officers to be elected at the AGM must be received in writing in the Parrot Society office by 31st August. We particularly need a new treasurer, if anyone has the interest and ability! Any potential suggested amendments to our Constitution would also need to be received in writing by this date, and possible changes will then be published in our September magazine for your scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So now enjoy your birds, enjoy the summer, and look forward to a gradual return to normality \u2013 get booking!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
