2024 Tri Club Cup Interclub

BCSA Tri-Club Cup Interclub Challenge

The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 26th, 2024, at the Campbelltown Council Function Centre located at 172 Montacute Road, Rostrevor, SA 5073. This event will also encompass Budgie Fest 2024. The show will be conducted in accordance with the regulations and guidelines set out by the BCSA. Entries in the exhibition classes will be as per the ANBC Standard and Matrix. This will be the first ever BCSA Tri Club Cup Interclub Challenge between the BSSA, NEBS and PPBS for current year birds.

For the BCSA Tri Club Cup Interclub Challenge, only cages that have powder coated fronts are permitted. The exception to this is for the pet section, where any bird cage is acceptable. If you don’t have powder coated fronts on your show cages, please speak with your Club or the BCSA, so we can assist you in loaning you some for the event. We don’t want people’s entries limited by a lack of correct show cages.

Note that subject to entries, this is a BCSA status movement show. Young birds must be owner bred, current (2024) rung budgerigars with Red 2024 rings. The exception to this is birds entered in the pet bird class, which do not need to be rung and can be any age. Pet birds will not be eligible for points.

The entry fee for participation in the Tri Club Cup Club Challenge is set at $1.00 per bird, with a maximum cap of $20.00 for any number of entries. Entry to the pet bird class is FREE, and we want to encourage as many entries and presentations as possible. It is important to note that juniors are exempt from paying the entry fee for either the Interclub challenge, or the pet show. Additionally, it is crucial to adhere to the deadline for submitting entries, as late entries will not be accepted. This is due to the automated program’s method of assigning numbers to cage stickers. Furthermore, it is advised to take into consideration that mail delivery times have been extended to up to six working days, so the sooner you can get your entries in, the better for the show organisers.

Participants have the option to submit their entries either by postal mail or email. Our preference is email. The entry fee is required to be paid at the presentation of the birds on the day of the show. Please make payment in the form of either cash or via electronic transfer to the Budgerigar Council of South Australia. If you are posting your entry in, please address it to The President at the following address: 6 East Terrace Kensington Gardens, SA 5068, or via email at [email protected]. The entries are required to be submitted using the provided entry form, and the deadline for submission is 7.00pm on Friday, October 18th. Birds are to be benched between 7:30 am – 8:30 am, with commencement of the judging starting at 9:00 am sharp. The exception is birds entered into the pet bird category, which are benched from 11:30 am to 12 Noon.

If cage stickers are not received by the final postal delivery on Friday, October 25th, it is kindly requested to establish communication with the President, Troy Holmes, on 0419 526 753 no later than Friday evening. This will allow for the printing of duplicate stickers, ensuring their availability for distribution on the morning of the Show.

All birds to be shown in clean standard show cages with a recognised budgerigar breeders’ mix.  The amount of seed on the cage floor is to be limited to approximately one kitchen measuring cup.  Each cage to be fitted with an approved plastic drinker 4 spaces in from the left side of the cage, level with the perch.  Stickers to be placed on the bottom left-hand side of the cage.

The Safety Officer has the right to reject entries prior to judging for illness, deformity or poorly prepared show cages that are deemed hazardous or unhealthy to the birds. Birds are exhibited at the owner’s risk, but the Show Committee will exercise all due care. Points for interclub competition will be allocated to the top (9)-nine Young (2024 Rung) birds in each of the 28 Exhibition classes.

Please refrain from removing birds prior to their presentation, scheduled for approximately 2:45 PM.

Additionally, adhere to our Hot Weather Policy: If the predicted temperature exceeds 32 degrees, as forecasted on the TV between 6:00 PM and 7:00 PM the day before, the exhibition and pet classes will be cancelled. Exhibitors must take it upon themselves to stay informed about the weather forecast.

Judges for the BCSA Tri Club Cup Interclub Challenge will be Mr Richard Miller (UK), Mr Gary Gazzard (NSW) and Mr Peter Thurn (Victoria). Judges for the pet bird awards will be a panel of judges, including the aforementioned judges.
