Young Bird Show

During the past 5 years, this show extended over two days. However, due to several reasons, it was changed to a one-day show in 2009, and from feedback received, it seems to be a more suitable arrangement.

Despite the fact that many members experienced a very bad breeding season, 29 exhibitors entered 592 yearlings at the show. The judges agreed that, in general, the quality and standard of the entries were extremely high.

Western Cape Club Show

Despite price increases, high fuel prices, long distances that had to be covered and the current economic climate, 47 exhibitors responded with 1 529 entries.

Apart from the members living relatively close to Worcester, entries were also received from as far as Port Elizabeth, Mossel Bay and Oudtshoorn.

As with the Young Bird Show, the entries were of exceptional quality. One judge commented that the quality of some breeds were so evenly matched that is was difficult to distinguish between first and second places. Indeed a feather in the cap of all exhibitors!

The public supported this show in great numbers, and the Club received many compliments for a well organised and successful show.
