WELCOME BACK TO A BIG 2025!
As we ring in the New Year, we hope all our members have enjoyed a well earned rest over the break, giving us a chance to recharge the batteries ready for another productive and successful season, both in the breeding room and on the show bench. The month of January provides an ideal opportunity for us all to catch a collective breath and prepare in readiness for the upcoming events that await in the busy months ahead.
One such event, the pinnacle of its kind on a nationwide scale, is the 49th ANBC National Championship Show to be conducted in sunny Cairns, QLD in late May. The ANBC, in collaboration with North Queensland Budgerigar Zone Inc. have recently announced their four esteemed judges to adjudicate at this prestigious event. The BCV would like to congratulate the following individuals on their appointments - Cedric D'Costa (South Queensland), Lynne Miller (South Queensland), John Mulley (South Australia) & Ian Schneider (North Queensland). A link to their profiles can be found here. We look forward to putting together a strong team to compete at this premier show for 2025.
Back on the local stage, the first event to kick of proceedings on the BCV Show & Auction Calendar is the South West/Colac club hosting their annual 'Budgies in the Bool'. This promises to be a cracking weekend packed full of all things budgies and is one not to be missed. Details of which can be found below.

VICTORIA TAKES OUT ANBC SHIELD!
The ANBC National Championship Show has been run and won again in its 48th year of competition. The Victorian team were successful in bringing home the coveted Shield enabling us to etch our name into the history books once more. Congratulations to our members who managed to take out 11 of the 28 Logies on offer and to those who had birds supporting our winning team.
Well done to New South Wales who finished in 2nd place and also to a determined South Queensland who managed to hold off a strong finishing South Australia to round out the top three.
Special mention must go to all the organisers and helpers down in Launceston from the Budgerigar Council of Tasmania who hosted and staged a first class event in an outstanding venue. It was a resounding success incorporating some innovative ideas and concepts to accompany the tried and true program of events. It was also great to see so many from other States and Zones lending assistance across a range of roles to help spread the workload. I'm sure everyone is looking forward to the 49th ANBC National Championship Show up in sunny Cairns hosted by Nth & Central QLD in 2025.
