As we had very much hoped, for the North East National 2008 brought the sprouting of what may have been the first “seeds of recovery” in the response received from fanciers both local and ‘across the border, this year.

Last year’s total entry of 521 was boosted by something above 9%, the increase in exhibitors also being of a similar figure, so that the total of 45 exhibitors gave us something in the region of 575 exhibits.

Happily, of this total, only around 80 birds failed to arrive – two exhibitors being unable to send their teams, so the overall benched entry was around, or just under, the 500 mark – to be confirmed by judges’ returns.

This was once again a very happy show, boosted by a number of factors. Firstly, there was the band of helpers, locally and ‘travelling’ exhibitors, who decided to ‘make a day of it’ at the show, and thus ensured that the judges were kept well supplied and their needs attended to. Then there was the fact that the judging team were able to complete their work in good time for the opening of the show – our thanks to them for a job well done. Among the exhibitors, we welcomed old friends, who have not been able to show with us in recent years, giving us that essential boost to our already rising spirits. Then of course, the stalwarts who help with the show year in and year out and give us the necessary basis for planning next year’s event. And the ladies and one gent (including the wife and parents of the Patronage Secretary)-- once again they kept us extremely well ‘fed and watered’ throughout the show, and thus kept us all ‘in good fettle’.

The North East National has always made one boast of itself—that its main policy is to provide a happy show and meeting place for all fanciers, near and far of all , and this appeared to be felt by the folk who attended this event, judging by the many smiling faces which were to be observed. It is, of course, the visitors who provide this atmosphere, and we thank them for their great contribution to the show

Finally, it was particularly pleasing to note that members who have joined Sunderland BS very recently turned up in strength to play an essential part in the running of the show. Happily, each of them capped there excellent work by returning very good result with their individual show teams: all this augurs well for succeeding years!

As to the show results, this was distinctly a Charlie Bowman benefit – it was certainly his year! He ‘swept the boards’, taking Best Any Age and Best in Show with his excellent Dark Green Cock, then also annexing the Best Young Bird specials with his much admired young Cinnamon hen. Not content with these, he was also well into the specials in both the Any Age and Young Bird Sections with other members of his show team, taking a total of four Best of Colour awards. Our congratulations go to him on his success!

Among other results, it was good to see that both our Junior exhibitors this year had excellent results when pitted against their elders! Charlotte Forrest took the Albino certificate with her robustly attractive Adult Hen, while Lewis Murray grabbed the Greygreen certificate from his father, Andy, who was second in the line-up.

It was also noted that none of our enthusiastic friends from Scotland went away from the show empty handed and were well among the Colour and section awards. We hope that we will see them again next year
