Members of Bristol B&FBS are visiting Bridgwater area breeders Ken Spraggs, Paul and Stuart Griffin, Scott and Sean Childs and Brian Sweeting on June 11th. All Somerset members are encouraged to join them thereby making this an inter-club day out.

Lunches will organised for those who want them at the Compass Inn, Huntworth at approximately 12.30 pm. The Compass Inn is on the A38 (Taunton Road) just out of town.

Please let Brian Sweeting (telephone: 01278 455621) know by June 6th if you wish to join in so that arrangements can be made and lunches booked.

Please join in and make this a great day out for our friends from Bristol who are always very good at supporting our club events.

On May 21st the club is organising an aviary visit to Doug Sadler, Steve Needham and Colin Callaway. Paul Griffin (telephone: 01278 450310) is organising the trip. If you would like to go let him know by May 14th.

Travel details will be finalised once Paul has a complete list of those wishing to take part.

It is likely that we will meet up somewhere on the A303 before heading off. Those wishing to leave from Bridgwater can meet up at Brian Sweeting’s house and leave the surplus cars there.

SBS committee member, Clive Wakeman has set up a business making show cages. The cages have been approved by the Budgerigar Society and Clive has been registered as a show cage manufacturer. He has kindly offered to pay Somerset BS a commission on each cage sold by committee members.

The cages have been manufactured to very high standards and are made from the finest materials available. The paint finish has been applied using a special process to reduce chipping.

Orders can be placed with any committee member or by telephoning Stuart Griffin (telephone: 01278 685306). The cages will be available very soon and should be ordered as soon as possible if they are required for the coming show season. Priced at £25.00, they are very good value and will also boost club funds.
