Very many congratulations to Jamie Robinson on winning Best Gold and Champion Sebright at the Scottish National Poultry Show, with Best Silver going to Creighton & Simister. A really well deserved win for Jamie who has been close on Robin's heels at the previous two big Shows! And inspite of the weather and sickness presenting innumerable difficulties for many people getting there - Judges and exhibitors alike.
Well done everyone - full results in the Show section - with many thanks to Rowena, Will and Jamie for sending them through.

The Special Anniversary Yearbook of The Sebright Club is available for collection from The Federation Show today - 78 pages of all things Sebright! It costs £6 - and if you are unable to pick one up for yourself (and it would make a good read for an interested friend as a Christmas pressie!) - you can order one from our secretary, Jamie Robinson.
And last bids today on the Trio of Gold Sebrights! The Silvers have been snapped up already! Hope you all have a most enjoyable second day at The Federation Show.
Saturday, 15th December 2012 - Federation results
Very many congratulations to Robin Creighton on winning Best Silver and Champion Sebright, with Reserve Champion Sebright and Best Gold going to Jamie Robinson. A really well deserved win for both Robin and Jamie (a similar story to The National in November this year!) and a true testament to the time and dedication they put in to their birds throughout the whole year. Well done both of you! Full results in the Shows 2012 section
Saturday 15th & Sunday 16th December 2012
The National Federation of Poultry Clubs' Championship Show
The second of our two club shows is at Stafford and here we put on two additional special classes for novices - for those who have never won a first prize, nor indeed ever shown at a club show. It was an ideal opportunity to come along and discuss your birds with the Judges and experienced breeders - whether you had entered birds or not.
As with The National - we have specially designed Prize Cards as well as Rosettes, Banners and Balloons! There is dedicated staging on the balcony for the Sebrights at this Show and it will be another really exciting occasion.
Our Judge was Mr Christopher Parker, our President, Breeder, Exhibitor and Judge of Sebrights - not only in the UK, but across the world. And I know Chris won't mind us saying that he is also one of the most kind, hardworking and generous people in the Fancy.
And as if all this excitement weren't enough! We are taking bids on two trios of Sebrights for the club. Brian Sinker is very kindly supplying a trio of Silver Sebrights and Steve Fuller supplying a trio of Golds. The latter will be young relatives of Gordon Sebright (if you follow his antics) - Gabriel, Gloria and Grace! They won 1st prize at The National and their rosettes and cards from that show will go with them. Both trios are entered in the show classes on Saturday and will therefore be on display throughout the weekend. You can make your bid at the Sebright Club stand and the highest bidder and proud new owners of the Trios will be announced at 2p.m. on Sunday!
The Federation Championship Show will be held at The County Showground, Stafford.
ST18 0BD - See you there!
Thursday 22nd November 2012
At the Annual General Meeting of The Sebright Club held at The National Show last Saturday, 17th November 2012, the Committee and members present voted unanimously that Robin Creighton should represent us as our new Chairman. Brian Sinker, our former Chairman, who has also been our acting Secretary and Treasurer gave notice of his intention to stand down from this position at the last AGM in November 2011. Jamie Robinson was voted, unopposed, our new Secretary and Treasurer from immediate effect. We would like to thank Brian very much indeed for all his work, covering not only the one, but three jobs - and wish Robin and Jamie well in their new positions. Chris Parker remains our President and Allan Edward, Steve Fuller,
J.D. Kay and Brian Sinker form the rest of the body of the committee. We are indeed extremely fortunate to have such a strong club representation and the Sebright Club can only continue to go from strength to strength. Roll on another 200 years!
Tuesday 20th November 2012
2012 heralded a very important and exciting year for The Sebright Club and we celebrated the Bicentenary of our Club recently at The National with specially designed Prize Cards as well as Rosettes, Banners, Balloons and a Gold and Silver-themed Dinner and Dance in our honour!
We offer our Congratulations to Robin Creighton on winning Best Silver and Champion Sebright again this year, with Reserve Champion Sebright and Best Gold going to Jamie Robinson. And many congratulations also to all the prize-winners - and indeed everyone that turned out their birds for the bicentenary show - they were a real credit to the breed. A special mention must be made about the winner of the Silver Cock class - young William Boden with Jerry - very well done Will! A boy among men - but you showed them how to do it!
We are very proud to recognise the longevity of The Sebright Club and celebrate the endurance of this beautiful breed which has given so much pleasure to so many people across the world, for over 200 years. And what better way it was than to start the year with Robin's Silver Pullet taking us into 2012 as the Supreme Show Champion from The National 2011.
We were delighted that our Judge this year was Mr J. David Kay - a very longstanding and loyal supporter of the Sebright Club and breeder and exhibitor of Sebrights. The results from the show classes are now available on the website (FACT - Shows - 2012) and pictures of the prize-winning birds will follow shortly!
A special mention also goes to Nicky Demaine for producing our specially designed Prize cards for both The National and The Federation, and for taking photos of the winning Sebrights - not only at these two big shows, but throughout the year also. Very many thanks, Nicky!
