Yet another successful Open Show was held at the Railway Club on September 20th by the members of Grantham Bird Society. All attending enjoyed a great day at the show which included the Open air BBQ, tom bola and raffle with many excellent prizes. This year the show attracted more local visitors than ever before and these people also enjoyed the relaxed and friendly atmosphere in which the whole event was held. An impressive figure of 391 birds being benched with the Fife classes totaling 164 of the total overall meaning the show venue was full to bursting with wall to wall birds, all of an excellent standard. Please see below the main winners from the 4 sections and full results for the show.
