Bugle Poultry Show 2007

This Saturday the 28th September 2007 was the annual Bugle Poultry and Waterfowl event held at Bugle Village hall. Graham on the right here and his good friend the Rev Dan Reed became very technical this year as the trophies winners were all computerised! Apart from a couple of little hitches this seemed to work extremely well. Jonathan who created this blog also created a database for Graham using the MS Access program and he seemed to understand what Graham wanted with regards to competitors and trophies won. He hopes that in the future he can use this database further and put all the shows results into it, not only the trophy information, but first he wants to sit down with Jonathan and go through it with him, whenever he and Wendy visit us again.

Here are a few of the birds I rather liked the look of as I was browsing with the girls today:- From left to right… A Lovely crested duck, probably the quietest duck in the whole room, mind you there were well over one hundred ducks entered this year! In fact there were well over 500 entries this year! Rather an amazing feat for a village hall. On the right here are a trio of Silkies.

Below on the left is a silver pencilled pekin Bantam and on the right is a black pekin bantam:-

Here is Lucy (below left) receiving a second for her white leghorn bantam and on the right is a runner duck!

This year we didn`t win a trophy but Lucy won 3 prizes in the raffle! First was a Digital TV box!, then a box of Maltesers and lastly a carving set! Poor Katy didn`t win anything with her tickets but they will share the Digital TV box I`m sure and the both of them soon both ate through the Maltesers!

We are looking forward to competing in next year`s show and Graham enjoys being part of the committee and his role of Trophy Secretary. We hope next year that more people will remember to bring their trophies back for the new winners, because there were a few this year that either forgot them or didn`t compete and we couldn`t track them down.
