O.E.G.B.C.A. UPDATE

Hello Members,
It was asked of me George,how many times do you see an Old English become
champion of a show? To myself I thought quite often so I decided to do a
little research.The Old English Game Bantam Club of America hosted 180 meets
in 1996.At these meets the Old English was Champion Bantam 66 times and
reserve Champion Bantam 50 times so it looks like to me 64% of the shows we
had a meet at the O.E. games done quite well.
I will be picking up the yearbook at the ABA semi-annual at Bloomsberg PA.,in
May. So if all is going well every member should receive theirs by the end of
May. Don't forget these are sent Bulk Rate mail to our members,so it is very
important that our membership list is up to date.If anyone has moved please
notify the O.E. office. Bulk rate mail isn't returned to me.The 2nd edition
of "Old English Game Bantam as Bred and shown in the US" by Fred Jeffrey And
Bill Richardson, have been selling well. Anyone wishing to purchase one can
do so by sending $15.00 to me and I will mail you one. Also, we are out of
bands until next year.The club also has a nice 3" patch for $5.00 each.
It is the up most importance that each and all directors assigning meets in
their districts to be sure to let me know where the show is and when.There
were a few problems last year with clubs holding meets and never returning
their show reports.I need to know where these shows are at the end of each
year I need to check my records and to see what shows never returned their
paperwork.The problem last year was meets were given out and I had no idea.So
I did not know that certain shows had meets,needless to say I did not write
to them.
Well,spring has finally arrived here in New England.The chickens are laying
well and the hatching is going fairly well. We will be attending quite a few
shows this spring and fall.So, if you're at one of the shows I'm attending be
sure to come say HI,and lets talk Old English games.
George & Donna Schopac, Sec/Trea
