Redwing Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Its basically a normal local poultry show Here is the official blurb: Voucher Shows Any affiliated show or Breed Club is entitled to offer Voucher Cards for Best in Show, Best Opposite Sex, Best Eggs and Best Waterfowl at its main show. These cards entitle the winner of five Best in Show or Best Opposite Sex cards to an award. These cards are not available at Regional or Championship Shows. Eight Best Egg Voucher cards qualify for an award. These cards must be awarded under Poultry Club Rules so eggs in produce sections of Agricultural Shows do not qualify unless judged by a Poultry Club Judge. It is emphasised that these cards must be signed by the judge or Show Secretary and dated, without this they are invalid. Voucher Shows are the 'grass roots' of the fancy and serve the needs of local fanciers. They provide the novice with a chance to show and gain experience. Usually having between 200-400 exhibits they require two or three judges who are encouraged to discuss the qualities of the birds with their owners after judging.
