News from the Chair
As many of you will already know after 20 years as President John McDonald stood down at the AGM and Vice President Paul Sholicar stepped up to take over at the helm. Paul Kerfoot filled the vacant Vice President Role and Steve Ormerod joined the committee.
Building Works have been more or less completed, and we now have a storeroom and office space within the clubhouse as well as addional show floor space.
Regarding Egg Shows, September will now be a Championship Show, Poultry Club Specials awarded on the day.
Please use WHITE Entry Form for September Show and COLOURED Entry Form for October Show. Thankyou.
NOTE £50 Special for most points accumulated over both Shows. Even if you don’t show Eggs come along and have a Chat/Brew/Bacon Butty or even put a few Eggs in the Novice Classes.
We will have 2023 Calendars available at October Show. Anybody wishing to buy one, who will not be at the Show please give me a ring on 01704 821783 and I will post one out to you.
Sadly, two of our members Past and Present have passed away during the last month namely Cliff Dent and Jeff Abbott.
Thank-you for all your Support and Looking forward to seeing you again soon. HARRY

S & O Newsletter June 2021
Message from the Chairman
I’m hoping everyone has managed to keep well during this last 16 months. Hopefully we can now look forward to the future.
We have produced this ‘Mini Newsletter’ to keep members informed of the clubs forthcoming events.
Sadly in February of this year we lost one of our committee members, Mr Tom Alty. He had been a member of Southport and Ormskirk, since the early days. He Judged our first show back in 1955. His Knowledge and Advice will be remembered by many.
Progress of Extension
The addition of 40ft to the rear of the building will allow us to make a store room, an office and the possibility to create a slightly different layout to the clubroom.
The extension work began in April this year and the groundwork is in place. The insulated sheets for the roof and sides along with the steel frame are all ready to be assembled. Unfortunately the builder is waiting to receive the Z pearling’s which have been on order since April but due to Corvid and the shortage of steel, he is still waiting for his order to arrive. The Z Pearling’s are needed to attach the roof to.
Cancelations
Unfortunately the Spring Show, Auction and Junior Show have had to be cancelled this year.
The August Auction will also be cancelled this year.
Show Dates
If Corvid rules allow, the
Championship Egg show - Sunday 25th July
Autumn Show - Sunday 12th September
Open Show - Saturday 6th November
Will be going ahead.
New Date for 2021 AGM
Wednesday 18th August at 8pm in the Village Hall.
There are 3 vacancies on the Committee if any members are interested in taking up this role.
Any correspondence for agenda or applications to become Committee Members needs to be sent to Philip Bentham by 4th August
Annual Subscriptions
Annual Subscriptions are waved until November 2022
