1995, Tasmania

Tasmania hosted the 1995 Championship at Launceston in the North of the State.  The previous ten years have set a precedent whereby fanciers are taking their annual leave to coincide with the Championships.  This year’s Championship week was no exception with visitors from the mainland enjoying all the bus trips and activities that have become the standard.

The Tasmanian’s trialed an open show concept on the Saturday but were disappointed by the lack of support from mainland fanciers.

A motion to allow birds rung during the last two seasons to compete in the championship was defeated.

A Manual for a National Judges Training Course is to be prepared by Mr. Henry George.

Mr. Bruce Bradford has now completed three years as ANBC Secretary and under the rules must stand down.  Mrs. Carol Gough was elected Secretary on a unanimous vote.

Final Results were:

•             NSW                           359
•             Victoria                       329
•             South Queensland       312
•             North Queensland       218
•             Tasmania                     206
•             South Australia           127
•             Western Australia       127
