Summer Show and Sale This is an open show for members and non members of AVPFS. The show is to be held under poultry club rules. Please read show rules and regulations and Bio security information at the end of the booklet. You do not need to be a member of a breed club to enter their show. Sale Day Change Many exhibitors will remember we didn t have a sale last year on the Saturday. We decided with this approach due to Avian Flu measures and it was not a decision we took lightly. The result of the removal of Saturdays sale birds was received with mixed responses. Whilst we put exhibitors at the top of our priority list, we are invited to the showground to engage with the public and help promote poultry to everybody. Because of this we have decided to trial a new approach. The Sale will still run across all 3 days, however those not exhibiting birds in the show on Saturday will not be eligible to have birds for sale on Saturday and must collect any unsold birds by 6pm Friday. This enables exhibitors who only want to come for one day to have the opportunity to sell excess stock. Entry Fees are: 1.50 Poultry Class (including Trios, Geese & Turkeys) 50p Egg Class 2.00 Sale Pen Useful dates & times: Friday 1 st June 2018: Entries close.
