| History |
|
The Mount Gambier Budgerigar Society had its humble beginning as the Caged Bird’s Club in 1979. In August of 1984, the Cage Bird Club was dissolved into the Canary Club, and the Mount Gambier Budgerigar Society. The club has 27 financial members, and has successfully held a Diploma show every year since 1985. In 2002, the date of the show was moved to October to coincide with the Mount Gambier Agriculture & Horticultural society event. Three of the members of the Mount Gambier club have been awarded Life Memberships. They are: Nigel Tonkin (June 1994), Doreece Brunton (June 1995), and Mr. Frank Tilley (TBA) |
