ANPA is proud to be supporting the 2010 SYDNEY ROYAL PIGEON SHOW in April.

The Schedule is now available for exhibitors to download.

To view the Schedule please

Some of the links on the RAS site link to an obsolete schedule, but this link will direct you to the updated schedule, which has the breeds arranged in their specific groupings, such as “Asian breeds , Colour Pigeons, etc”.

Correct classes read 1001 to 1338 .

If you wish to print the schedule pages 22 onwards apply, you might also wish to view the “Art Competition” after the Pigeon Section.

The Judges’ List and other information can be viewed on the RAS Homepage

There is a discount for lodging entries online,this linkwill take you to that process .

Or else you can print an entry form for posting here

ANPA NSW Vice-President Uncle Allan Makin has kindly initiated a NSW ANPA Members trophy fund to perpetuate donated awards for the Sydney Royal.

He will be contacting NSW members for support in that sponsorship .

Remember that this is the NSW event where our hobby will gain the most exposure , to the general public and potential fanciers , please do your best to support with entries , there is also a procedure for “Sales of Exhibits” .

Is anpa going to support other royal agricultural society across Australia

Hi Peter ,
The RAS.NSW saw a need to ask for our help . We have helped by canvassing exhibitors for judge selection, by assisting with class re-allocation and by donation of awards (by NSW ANPA members not from ANPA funds). We would be pleased to do the same for any RAS that needed an advisory body . The Royal shows provide the greatest public exposure for our hobby , and ANPA is committed to provide the best public image possible .
Regards , Bob GRANT .

Thank you for answering my post on your blogsite, here in queensland I’ve heard that is there is no more than 200 birds exhibited there will be no royal ag section for the pigeons that was why I asked that question we never get more than 100 or so birds entered up here. We have had big turn outs here for the Ipswich shows and they ahve some real big numbers ESP when a national show is on. Why are anpa member uncle Allan makin paying for awards? And not anpa itself? Can anpa not afford to pay for awards themselves? It would be good to see anpa put some energy and money into saving the Queensland royal show

Hi Peter ,
You’ll see from other posts that some would not be impressed with ANPA allocating funds to State societies , all expenditure is voted on by committee . As I have explained we were asked by Sydney RAS to assist , our assistance as an ‘advisory’ was to : Revamp the Schedule to attract entries , To fairly allocate qualified judges by consultation with exhibitors and to advise on fair judging protocol .
Allan Makin volunteered to set up a ANPA.NSW Members trophy fund for the RAS . It is not merely the trophies that draw entries , but the hope of a regulated and fairly run pigeon section .
The QPFS have been requested to assist with a revamp of the Bris Royal and if members get behind that move , the same process could be followed . I am sure the QPFS could expect assistance from Queensland members , with advice and with entries .

Regards , Bob .
