Showtime! The exhibition season for most of the fancy is approaching swiftly, and the key event is starting to loom: the National Exhibition on October 2. This year a record 18 different clubs are putting on show sections at Stafford and in our special issue we provide details of all of them, including who to contact if you want to enter. Remember: these are ALL open shows, so you don’t need to be a member of any club to exhibit. Among the shows will be a “first” for Stafford: a competition for the English cinnamon canary, and we have an in-depth profile of this lovely historic breed. Our regular bulletins are all in this week, too, plus a breeding report on the delightful yellow wagtail.
