However, as the show has grown, and this year incorporated a BIRD TRADE FAIR, it was held in the main function room of the RIVERDALE HOTEL. Judges engaged for the show, were two of the best in the world ..... Ron Pearce and Rick Watts from England. They awarded Best in Show to Mark & Tony Rodgers, Best Opposite Sex in Show to Eileen O'Hanlon, and Best Nest Feather Bird in Show to Eileen O'Hanlon. Also over from England for the show, was a group of breeders from a specialist society. They spent the weekend in Ballybay and had a great time ! As last year, the show included, seminar's, bird and equipment sales, more new trophies, ..... you name it - this show had it ! and all in a relaxed atmosphere . The BIRD TRADE FAIR attracted Equipment & Seed Suppliers from the U.K., and Traders from all over the Island of Ireland, who sold at TRADE PRICES for that day ONLY. This was an opportunity to stock up at U.K. trade prices and BUY or SELL BIRDS.
