What is Patronage?

The SPC gives support to Cage Bird societies who wish to have a Norwich Canary section in their show. Patronage is in the form of money and other awards.

How is it decided? 

Patronage applications must meet the following rules:-

 Patronage will not be granted unless a panel Judge is appointed

 A and A+ Patronage will only be granted where a main panel Judge is appointed from the A list of Judges.

 Club show patronage will only be granted where an A list Judge is appointed

A Norwich Federation panel judge will be acceptable in all situations

 In exceptional circumstances where a non panel judge is appointed the Committe can award a special patronage if they deem it to be in the best interest of the club.

A list of Judges available for different levels of patronage is available from the Honorary Secretary

 and the Judges section on this website.

 

SHOWS AWARDED PATRONAGE

 A + Patronage Shows

£40 plus ribbons

Pewter Quaichs for most points, champion North and South and best novice overall.

SPCC points system over 4 shows. Judge selects 7 best UF birds which can include second prize winners - this is being undertaken as a 3 year experiment to increase numbers.

Points will be awarded on a sliding scale. 1st 7 points, 2nd 6 points and so on. Similarly if only 5 birds. Novice UF birds compete here also, Four shows are Linlithgow, Kelso, Annan and Grangemouth. Winner to receive £30, Second £15, Third £10.

From now on there will be no 'C' level patronage. C level is now effectively changed to 'B' level. A+ patronage is now £40 - best UF champ cock £10 . Best UF champ hen £10. Best old bird champ £5 (bred by exhibitor). Best UF novice £10, best old Novice £5.

'A' level is £15  and 'B' level is £9. All specials have tartan ribbons or rosettes. This represents a large increase in patronage - free of charge.We hope clubs will utilise this facility by employing the correct judges and paperwork.

Club secretaries have to engage an 'A' level judge for A level patronage, there must also complete the returns correctly otherwise patronage will be altered in the following year.

Judges must now show as a minimum own bred birds 3 times at 'A+' shows over the course of three years. This can include the club show. English judges have own area club shows which will be taken into account. Judges lists will be monitored and reviewed accordingly.Members with correct qualifications should apply to get onto the judges panel.
