Australian National Budgerigar Council
1992, Ocean Blue Resort, QLD
In 1992, the National Show was hosted by South Queensland at the Ocean Blue resort, all activities held under the one roof, again left us southerners envious at the venues that are available in Queensland. One demerit point was the overcrowding for fanciers wishing to view the exhibits after the judging was completed.
The Council formally approved the four day format for the championship show as follows:
- Friday: reception and registration
- Saturday: Judges Exams and Judges Meeting.
Colour and Standards Meeting - Sunday: Championship Show
- Monday: ANBC Meeting
The format for the variable classes would be:
- 1993 Dark factor Blue (cobalt mauve or violet)
- 1994 AOSV Opaline
- 1995 Albino
- 1996 Spangle AOSV
- 1997 Dark Factor Greywing
- 1998 Black eyed White
- 1999 Crested

The council approved the issue of special ANBC Judges Badges, to be issued to all successful candidates.
The council has referred a request from the BCV to have a standard for double factor spangles to be considered.
A motion to have two classes for the yellow face blue i.e. Australian and English was defeated for the second year in a row.
A suggestion for a National Logie was dismissed as most member bodies wished to retain their autonomy in this regard.
