BCSA Affiliate Clubs

Three (3) BCSA Affiliated Clubs make up the BCSA. Firstly, there is the North East Budgerigar Society (NEBS) who are based in Kilburn, SA. Secondly, there is the Budgerigar Society of South Australia (BSSA) who have their home in Unley, SA. Finally, there is the Port Pirie Budgerigar Society (PPBS), who are based regionally here in SA. In 1996, there were as many as 12 local clubs involved in the BCSA, with Central Plains, Mt Gambier and others in the mix. Over time, this number has reduced down.

To be an affiliate club of the BCSA, there are key requirements that must be met. Firstly, a metropolitan club within a 50 km radius of the Adelaide G.P.O. have to have at least ten (10) individual financial members to join. However, country clubs need to only have a minimum of five (5) individual members to be able to join. For the purpose of this rule, country-based clubs are defined as a club with its home over 50 km from the GPO.

It is worth noting that individual members can only nominate one principal club for the purpose of this being an affiliate member of the BCSA. Members are able to join any number of clubs, but can only elect one as their BCSA affiliate.

The North East Budgerigar Society (NEBS)

Formed in 1974, the North East Budgerigar Society is based out of Le Hunte Hall, in Kilburn, in Adelaide’s inner North. Naturally, the club’s objectives are to promote feelings of good fellowship and sportsmanship amongst its own members, and others interested in the Budgerigar. The second Wednesday of the month, the Club likes to get together and catch up. For more information on the North East Budgerigar Society check out this link.

The Budgerigar Society of South Australia (BSSA)

Based out of Unley in Adelaide’s inner south, The Budgerigar Society of South Australia (BSSA) formed on May 20th, 1948. As a result, it was the first budgerigar society in SA as such. Moreover, it is a founding member of the ANBC. The BSSA won the Australian National Budgerigar Championships in 1977, 1981, 1982, 1984, and 1986.

The first Tuesday of the month, the Club likes to get together and catch up at their home in Unley. For more information on the Budgerigar Society of South Australia, check out this link.
