Welcome to the Newark Championship Show
The Show was borne out of the old East of England Autumn Exhibition until it ceased in 2017.
We run the show as a three-man committee and make all the main decisions by majority vote. We all have clearly defined roles and bring a wealth of show experience.
We have been running this show at the Newark Showground since 2018, at first in The Stanley Sheldon Hall and lately in The Newark Pavilion, although this year we have had to return to The Stanley Sheldon Hall in order to keep our usual second Sunday in October date, which this year is Sunday 13th October 2024. This venue is large enough to allow for the exhibits to be penned single tier. Snack and drink facilities are provided. Entry into both the showground and the Stanley Sheldon Hall is free and ample free parking is provided alongside the hall. Please note there are no sale birds at this show.
The Showground will be open from 7am and the Show Hall from 8am for penning the birds, Judging will commence at 10am and the Show will close at approx. 3pm. Entries of birds into the show must be made using the Entry Form provided and accompanied with the entry fees and sent by post only by the closing date for entries which is Monday 30th September 2024. No entries will be accepted by email or telephone or without fees.
Being the first Championship show of the season and considering the new DEFRA/APHA Rules and the requirement of our Bird Gathering Licence, we will require a County Parish Holding Number (CPH) to be supplied on your entry form.
We look forward to seeing you at the show in the Stanley Sheldon Hall on Sunday 13th October 2024.
