Ireland, Cobh show 2017 !!! Report by Eugene Healy!

A great and successfull show in Ireland, the Cobh show.

Cobh and District Bird Show Society held its Annual show on the 7th&8th January 2017

It was a very successful show and attracted birds from all over Ireland  There was a great entry of 1100 birds.  On Sunday there was a great attendance, many fanciers buying and selling their birds in the packed car park. We also had an auction on Sunday morning and the Cobh members are extremely grateful to fanciers who donated their birds for the Auction.

On Saturday night there was a gathering at the Bella Vista Hotel for music and refreshments (ceol agus craic)and a most enjoyable night was had by all, its not just the birds can sing.

The show would not be a success without the hard work done by the ladies Committee they cater for everyone for the whole weekend
