Capricornia Budgerigar Society Inc Webpage: www.capbuds.org The Secretary CBS Inc. PO Box 5451 Red Hill Rockhampton Queensland 4701 To all CBS Members 20 January 2012 Dear Member Following the great success of the 2011 Winter Auction, our Club is again conducting a major Auction on the Queen s Birthday weekend (June 10). Birds from top southern breeders and exhibitors as well as from local Zone fanciers will be assembled. It is anticipated that many fanciers from Cairns to the Gold Coast will be attending, as well as several well known inter-state exhibitors. The venue for this year s auction is the Performing Arts Centre, North R ton High School, Simpson Street, North Rockhampton. Off-street parking from Simpson Street is available. It is with great pleasure that we invite you to submit birds for benching at this event. It is expected that birds offered will be no more than 2 years of age (rung 20010/11/12), and that freighting to and from Rockhampton will be organised and paid for by you. However, care of the birds, show cages, benching, etc., will be fully organised by the Capricornia Budgerigar Society Inc. (CBS Inc.). The CBS Inc. will retain a 10% commission on the selling price. An entry fee of $1 per bird also applies. As part of our advertising we wish to place a catalogue on our club web site to generate interest. It would be appreciated if you could provide details on the attached proforma and return this to me by Sunday April 15. This should ensure that the catalogue reaches cyberspace and can be posted to the fanciers in many Queensland Clubs by the end of April. A photo of a nominated bird or birds would be appreciated and may be included in the catalogue. It would be appreciated if you could advise me as soon as possible if you are able to provide up to eight birds. If you are unable to supply birds then these can be re-allocated as we are limiting the lots to approx 200 to 240 and the demand for lots in this event is strong. Also if a bird or birds need to be scratched then there is no guarantee that a replacement bird will be accepted. We have also organised a Pre-Auction Meal and get-together on the Saturday evening at the Frenchville Sports Club, Berserker Street, NR. This has been well patronised in previous years. It is an enjoyable function and a great opportunity to have a good feed and a great chat to many of the top local and visiting breeders. It s a chance to learn a few trade secrets as well as get some inside information from the breeders of some of the birds being auctioned the next day. Thank you for your consideration and support. I look forward to your reply and a profitable and successful auction. Yours fraternally, Kevin O Callaghan Secretary, Capricornia Budgerigar Society Inc.
