Welcome to the website of The Sebright Club
Everyone is most welcome to be part of our club - whether you have one or two Sebrights running around the garden (and almost inevitably becoming part of your family), or several more, and breed and show with great success! A membership application form can be found under the 'Contact Us' section if you would like to join us.
Membership includes newsletters; prize cards and rosettes at shows; help and support with sourcing new stock or advice on health and breeding, amongst many other benefits. 2012 is a very special year for the Sebright Club as in 1812 it held its first members' show in London and we are producing a Special Anniversary yearbook to celebrate 200 years of the existence of the Sebright Club - which is thought to be the very first poultry club of its kind.
Our Spring 2012 Newsletter has just been published and has Judges' reports from the 2011/2012 shows; club news; details of 2012 bi-centenary celebrations and the opportunity to obtain a specially commissioned Sebright cockerel pin badge as well as the order form for the yearbook. We will be holding Club Shows at The National, Stoneleigh (17th/18th November) and The Federation, Stafford (15th/16th December) - and at the latter there will be special staging on the balcony for the Sebrights and special Novice classes (details in the newsletter).
On the website we have a monthly competition (under the 'Fun' section). Gordon Sebright (you can read his Diary in the 'Fiction' part) is on Facebook and Twitter with 1100 friends from all over the world. And thanks to fellow fanciers we are able to put show results on the site whenever possible.
And what is there not to love about the Sebright? It is a stunningly beautiful bird, full of character - with a personality that matches its strutting demeanour and contrary to belief they can be very tame and friendly, and not 'flighty' if handled with care and affection from a young age. You will find they will grow into tame and charming adults that will be more than happy to content themselves around the garden. Given the chance they will happily roost in the branches of nearby trees however - but a real plus point is that they are non-destuctive - so that damage to your prize plants in the garden is minimal!
