Happy New Year to all JSSUK members!
The JSSUK would like to remind anyone who plans to exhibit Current Year Owner Bred (CYOB) Java sparrows at any Patronage show from 2010 onwards, that all CYOB birds must have a closed current ring in order to qualify for rosettes and prizes..
The closed rings do not have to be JSSUK rings, but must show the current year and breeders initials.

Kim visited the JSSUK stand at the recent Bird Show OF The Year (BSOTY) and spent a good half an hour talking to the JSSUK committee, and for us committee members, it was great to meet the woman behind the UK's leading bird keeping publication......thanks Kim!

By now all JSSUK members should have received their new membership numbers on a small membership card.
With the release of the new membership numbers, all members are now eligible to purchase JSSUK closed rings.
Our ringing scheme is being run in association with AC Hughes.
Any member wishing to purchase society rings MUST send their membership card to AC Hughes when applying for JSSUK rings as this informs the manufacturer that you are a valid member.
Society closed ringing is completely optional but the JSSUK does see this as a positive step forward for our great society.
If you are a member and have not yet received your membership number/card click here to contact Andy Dutton (Membership Secretary) who will gladly assist.

The first year JSSUK rings.
Our colour scheme will follow the standard colours that AC Hughes
issue annually. This colour for 2009 is lilac (as pictured above).

The JSSUK committee attended a meeting yesterday in Tamworth, Staffordshire to discuss various society issues.
Full details of the meeting will be available in the next newsletter which will be issued soon (date to be confirmed).
One important point discussed yesterday was to remind all members planning to show their Java's at the forthcoming "Bird Show Of The Year" (BSOTY) on October 12th that all birds must be shown in the official Java sparrow show cage (as re-iterated in the last web update).
There will be a small number of JSSUK owned show cages available on the day for any member that does not have the official cage (one per person) and will be loaned on a first come first serve basis.
Anyone wishing to purchase Java sparrow show cages should email their nearest committee member for more details.
