       Bird  Sale & Expo 3 May 2009 

         Meetings

Meetings are held on the last Wednesday each month (excluding December) at 8pm at

The ‘Greenock Creek Tavern’ Greenock South Australia
Visitors are welcome.

The Annual General Meeting and election of officers is held directly after the General Meeting in July.

Format

Meetings are generally informal and most have a guest speaker presenting various interesting topics. Members nights are also arranged when members present talks on their experiences in aviculture. 
 Supper, including tea and coffee, is provided by the club. This is a good time to have a cuppa, a chat and to stock up on service items.

Aims

To encourage the good breeding of our feathered friends with many members with years of breeding experience who are only too happy to share their knowledge and experiences with new and old members. To encourage fellowship and friendship through a common bond.

Memberships

Memberships are currently available for Single and Family groups with a category for Juniors. The Barossa Bird Club is one of the largest “Bird” clubs in the State.  Memberships are due 1st July each year            

Benefits

The club arranges quarterly seed & pellet orders. We have service items such as, rings, nets, carry boxes, feed and water bowls, vitamins, nest material, feathers, swamp grass, these are only to mention a few that are on offer at all meetings. Two sizes of steel, 20mm x 20mm and 25mm x 25mm galvanized RHS are available and can be purchased from the Steel Coordinator. All of these items are well below retail prices.
Each year we visit another club for a weekend with our club contributing towards the cost of the coach.
We host other clubs with aviary visits within our area, thus promoting friendship. Many great relationships have developed following an inter club visit.
Knowledge and experiences are shared among members thus contributing toward continuous improvements in regards to our hobby.
Each year a Christmas function is held and partly funded by the club.

Clothing

We have a range of clothing embroidered with an official club logo. These are available at very reasonable prices.

We also have a metal badge and stubby holders on hand to members and non-members alike.

Bird Sale & Expo

Have we got NEWS for you!!!! It will be raining Bird's at our      SALE & EXPO 3rd May 2009.

 Non-members of BBC Club have asked on numerous occasions if they can sell birds at the sale…..but you have had to be a Barossa Member to do so……..we have since come of age……our sale will be an ‘open sale’ meaning all persons belonging to a “Bird Club” will be able to register to sell their birds. The venue is the Tanunda Show Hall, there will be a number of trade stands so the whole family can enjoy the days outing. If Mum & the kid’s don’t have the same passion for birds as Dad…..or vice versa…you can still come as a family as there will be other interesting trade stands that are not bird related. As the old saying goes…when Mum’s happy….. Dad’s happy……when the kids are happy……everyone is happy. Our goal is to make it interesting for everyone.  To our interstate visitors, have a think about possibly spending a few days in the picturesque Barossa Valley. We hold our Club Meeting the last Wednesday of each month therefore it falls on the Wednesday before the sale. You are more than welcome to come along and meet the locals. If you decide to attend our Club Meeting…..please give us a phone call and we can fill you in on finer details. There’s plenty to see in the Barossa and surrounding districts with Adelaide being only a stone throw away.
