Pictured below is Eric Croly who took the Best Fife and second Best Fife with a 3pts Buff Green Hen and a Self Yellow Green Hen respectively - 2 very nice birds.

Fauldhouse Border and Fife Club (11 November 2006)

I was invited to judge at the Fauldhouse show on the 11 November along with Lance Robson. We chose Campbell and Wilson's Heavily Variegated Yellow Hen as Best in Show.

2006 Haydock CBS (15th October)

       

Unfortunately I couldn't show at Haydock this year as I was invited to judge. I then agreed to judge the Borders (as I am also on the Border judges panel) to help out because of circumstances beyond the show organisers control. George Ackersley stood in at the last minute to judge the Fifes. He gave Best Champion and Best Fife to John Sloane with a Lightly Variegated Yellow Hen. The Best Novice award going to Gordon and Chris Vaughn with a Lightly Variegated Buff Hen.

2006 Runcorn CBS (30th September)

       

John Hughes from Anglesey was the judge for this years show. He gave my Heavily Variegated Fawn Hen the Best Champion award. However he went to the Novice section for the Best Fife and Best Canary award and gave it to Gordon and Chris Vaughn with a very good Self Buff Green Hen.

Here's a list of the major special prize winners.

On the left are Gillott and Clark with an excellent Variegated Yellow Hen which took the Best Champion and Best in Show award. On the right is Roy Brown who took the Best Novice award with a nice Self Yellow Green Hen.

My own birds gave me a winner, 5 seconds and a third. Out of 22 birds shown, 17 where in the first seven. One of my variegated yellow hens was second to the Best in Show winner above.

2005 Haydock CBS (16th October)

This very nice little lightly Variegated Yellow Hen took the Best Fife award at Haydock CBS. Unfortunately I forgot my camera so I wasn't able to get any other pictures. Graham Moyers took the Best Novice award with a delightful Clear Yellow Hen.

That's me on the left with a Heavily Variegated Buff Green Hen which took Best Fife and Best Canary. On the right is Gordon Vaughn of the Vaughn and Son partnership (Chris was off watching Tranmere Rovers getting beat again) with Best Novice Fife and Best Gloster.

2003 Scottish national CBS

The picture below is of the late Pat Fenlon and his wife Renie. I took this at the 2003 Scottish National CBS where Pat took the award for Best Fife and 2nd best bird in show with a 3pts Dark Blue cock. Pat's main love in the birds was Borders, the Fifes were just for a bit of fun! At this same show he also took the Best Champion Green award in the Border section.

Pat was an exceptionally good friend of mine having known him since I was a young lad when he used to visit my father who also had Borders.
