Ring Charges 2010

The secretary of the B.S, Dave Whittaker, has informed us,  that the cost for rings in 2010 has increased to £8.40 per twenty, plus £1 P&P. This increase is due to an increase in the UK's V.A.T. rate.

"Budgerigar Society"

Founded in 1952 as the "Eire Budgerigar Society", by men with a vision to promote the breeding and exhibition of Budgerigars in Ireland , and to liaise with all like minded people around the world.

After somewhat of a resurgence in the late nineties and early 2000, the Society sadly went into decline at the beginning of 2003 and with all shows canceled that year by the BS due to the Mega Bacteria scare, the society' ceased to function, and with no guidance or finances lay in this dormant state until the intervention of Adrian Mc Cormack in June of 2005.

However after a number of E.G.M.s in 2005 and again in 2006, the Society was still without a fully functional and stable committee to give it the impetus it needed to function properly.  Then at an E.G.M. on the 9th of July 2006 a committee was formed, and plans for a full show to be held in 2007, the first full open show since 2002 were laid.

Proposals were also made that day was to hold an AGM in 2008 and for it to be held in the "Prince of Wales Hotel in Athlone".  

Sadly once again the stability of the committee failed to hold and the secretary resigned.                                      

But thankfully in June 2007, the then committee had the foresight to elect Eileen O' Hanlon as secretary, and there and then Eileen brought a sense of stability and

professionalism to our society, and we have never looked back.!

An open show was held in September of 2007 and the Best in Show went to  Peter Mackin's wonderful bird. The Society was up and functioning again and an AGM was planned for February 2008, with Pascal Trill and Eileen O' Hanlon in the driving seat                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Then in 2008 the Society under a new management committee was fully computerised by the treasurer Gerard Lanigan, which meant that for the first time in the Society's long history a proper track of members show status and their achievements could be recorded and maintained.  This new and vibrant Society was now grabbing the headlines for all the right reasons........

Vision, Professionalism and a sense of purpose was now the guiding force that drove the management committee to give up all of their time for the Hobby they love.

After a highly successful open show in 2008 and with regular committee meetings the future looked bright and the membership grew and continues to grow to this day, with members from as far away as Italy showing their appreciation for the direction the society had been taken.

Now in 2009 we take one more step together, and besides the change of name we are holding our open show in co-operation and in conjunction with the Parrot Society  Ireland all under the one roof in the Carrickdale hotel Co Louth.

So you are most welcome, if you are a society member why not register with the site and have your say on how your would like to see things done
