The L'amicle Ornithologique De Normandie ( The Friendly Bird Club of Normandy ) have joined with the CTC ( Club Technique De Canaris De Couleurs , the equivalent of the UK's CCBA ) to present the only show to be held under the auspices of the C.O.M. in France during 2009. This International status show , held in Canteleu -Seine Maritime , will run from the 27th October 2009 to the 1st of November 2009 , opening to the public on Saturday 30th October & Sunday 1st November. Alongside the show will be a sales area ,again open to the public on the Saturday & Sunday .
Canteleu -Seine Maritime is approximately 136 miles from Calais and a mere 50 miles from Dieppe making it easily reachable for exhibitors and visitors alike and Jean Marie Bihet , President of the CTC , assures a warm welcome to UK exhibitors and visitors.
The IOA are committed to supporting shows held under the auspices of the COM and Paul Brockman will be conveying birds to this show on behalf of members & affiliate members that wish to participate .This show might be of particular interest to members of the CCBA given there is a very large Colour Canary section with a full schedule , as well as exhibitors of traditional posture & type canaries , again with classes to suit all varieties. Foreign & Parrotlike are accepted but please note there are no classes for British Birds.
The organisers will provide show cages for both the exhibition & the sales area ( and administer sales) and are particularly keen to have UK type canaries entered into the sale as well as the show.All birds to be rung with ID Colour Coded rings , 2009 for exhibition , 2008 /2009 for the sale.
There are classes at this show for both Golds and Silvers and if anyone requires more information just get in touch .
Regards Paul.
