1987, Perth Western Australia

The year is 1987, and Perth Western Australian fanciers host this year’s Championship Show.  Another great convention and first class Holiday.

The Council met and discussed at length the revised written word on The Standard. This resulted in some amendments being made and accepted by the Council.

It was determined to have the written work finalised by Hobart in 1988.  The Standards Committee advised The Council that they had included Mr. Brian West in their latest meetings and that Brian was working on a Model for The Standard.  This model was to be used for photographs that would be included in the finished standard of perfection.  Every state or zone had now accepted the written word.

The ANBC meeting of Delegates proposed a levy on all member bodies of 50 cents per member to allow the work on The Standard to continue.  This was accepted by all Delegates.

The council decided against adopting a composite Show Cage on the basis that it would be of little use unless accepted by all member bodies.  To further the case for a national cage it was decided to send a sample of the composite cage to all member bodies.

Tasmania requested and was given permission to use four judges in two panels at the 1988 championship.

Final Results were:

• New South Wales          295
• Victoria                          266
• South Queensland         248
• South Australia              207
• Tasmania                        204
• North Queensland         194
• Western Australia          160
