Judges: Gerd Bleicher Gary Gazzard Kevin O'Callaghan Henry George 4. BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ANBC. In 1964 at Griffith in NSW a group of Budgerigar Fanciers from Victoria, and South Australia held a meeting during The Griffith Cage Bird Societies Annual Show. The result of this meeting gave birth to the idea of conducting a National Teams Competition for Budgerigars. 1972 Dr. Harold Cooper from (Now Tasmania) started talking seriously about a Teams Competition with The Late Frank Gardener in Victoria. These two fanciers brought in Harry Eady and Evan Stafford from Victoria, Ron Hunt from and George Duffield from South Australia to help create interest within The Fancy.

4 These early discussions became a reality when Harry Eady in 1974 convinced The BCA (now BCV) to host a Teams Competition. 1975 At Kensington, a suburb of Melbourne, the first Teams Competition was held. Victoria, and South Australia competed with Victoria winning this first competition, now held annually. Western Australia joined the Competition in 1978, North Queensland in 1979, South Queensland in 1980 and Tasmania in 1983. 1981 The necessity to have a controlling body to set the rules for this competition was now imperative. A steering committee made up from the competing teams met during the competition held in Perth W. A. The delegates were, Alan Marshall and Ron MacNamara from Victoria, Brian West and Amon Murdock from Queensland, Bruce Bradford, Kevin Kelly and Col Morgan , Don Geary ACT, George Duffield and Stan Watson South Australia and Willie Schoeman Western Australia.

5 The ground rules were established, a decision to hold the first ANBC official meeting in 1982 at Townsville and Mr Brian West was elected as the first ANBC Secretary. 1985 The National Colour & Standard Committee was formed to establish a National Standard to be used at the ANBC championship show. Colin Morgan , Harry Eady Victoria and George Duffield South Australia worked on this task. Brian West joined the committee in 1987 to aid in the printing. This committee published the new standard in 1990, member bodies having the choice of using this standard or their own state standards. 1988 The ANBC approves the design for a National Show Cage. The new cage to be used at the ANBC. championship show 1989 hosted by North and Central Queensland at The Iwsaki Resort in Yeppoon.

6 1989 The ground rules for a National Judges Panel & Examining Committee were presented to the ANBC. 1990 The first judge's examing panel made up for Harry Eady Victoria, Ron Hunt , Harold Cooper Tasmania, Brian West North Queensland and Barney Hackney from South Queensland. The first show to be judged by nationally qualified judges would be hosted by South Queensland in 1992. Important ground rules set by this committee and approved by The ANBC were: 1. This committee would have no jurisdiction over judges' panels from the member bodies. 2. No ruling committee to be elected. 3. The only position elected would be the chair person to conduct The National Meeting and a Co- ordinator to distribute minutes. 4. This committee is in place to examine candidates to qualify to be able to judge ANBC.
