Poultry Club News
The June meeting for the Poultry Club trustees was a rather different experience to the norm in the fact that it was held at an alternative venue; The Great Yorkshire Showground, Harrogate. This was due to the Countryside days which were attended by a large number of school children from the Yorkshire area. The Poultry Club had a stand there and gave talks and shared practical experience with the children along with handing out ‘goody bags’ to prospective junior fanciers. Due to the fact the Countryside days coincided with the board meeting date, we thought it would be a great idea to hold our discussions in Harrogate. It was a fabulous venue with a modern conference suite looking out over the fields and we were well looked after by our hosts. It wasn’t any easy venue for all of our trustees to attend however but certainly something to be considered for the future.
The meeting began with a minutes silence in memory of Andrew Sheppy who sadly passed earlier this year.
First point for discussion was the confirmation of the Championship Judge for the National Show 2017. We are delighted to announce Mr Hugh Guthrie has accepted the invitation as our Championship judge. He will be supported by Neal Adams as Championship Steward along with Jacquie Stanley.
Whilst on the subject of the National Show we are also pleased to announce that Rupert Stephenson has once again agreed to be our official photographer. We look forward to getting a multitude of photos of the event and sharing them with you.

What is Rare?
It would be accurate to say that many breeders and fanciers are currently concerned about their particular breed in terms of how it is regarded officially, and some may be unaware of who is looking after their interests as far as protection measures go in the face of any government-imposed cull.
Our Life with La Fleche (Part1) - Cherry Tree Rare Breeds
Our story with poultry started in 2006 when Chloe then ten, announced “can we keep chickens?’’ That simple question has taken us from a collection of 4 hybrid layers to an established flock of rare breed La Flèche within ten years.

A Visit To The Dutch Poultry Museum In Barneveld
Brinsea’s Fiona Browne and Marc Braddock have been planning a visit to the Dutch Poultry Museum since the beginning of the year. Friday 14th October was world egg day and since the museum was celebrating this over the weekend it seemed a great time to visit.
