tracyann Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Been on here a while, as you know and wondered how many of us are from Essex?? There doesn't seem to be many poultry club events in Essex, and why not? There are lots of breeders based in Essex.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoice Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I'm from Essex! **waves vigorously!** I don't know why there doesn't seem to be many poultry events in Essex. I usually look out for the country shows, such as the Tendring show, as they usually have a poultry section. I also like to go to any of those shows when on holiday (Perfect timing, purely coincidental! ) I thought the dorset show last year was good.

Nicola O Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Me too *waves*. Tracyann - There is a guy in Basildon, who has his own poultry forum, who has run auctions in Hullbridge for the last couple of years. And I'm sure I read in the local paper a few weeks ago about someone who is going to start an auction in Grays (I think) soon. Stoice - I've not been to a country show yet (didn't know of any that were reasonably local) but learnt about the Orsett Show last year - then managed to break my ankle two weeks before it so I'm looking forward to going this year.

Chicken shack Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 My postal address is Essex although it is more like east London, and is called the London Borough Of Redbridge so do I count as London or Essex or both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Most poultry clubs are historically for people keen on poultry showing so usually run by show enthusiasts (but for a much wider audience nowadays) people that breed poultry purely to sell are not usually the drivers of a sucessful club so while an area has a lot of breeders it doesnt always follow that there will be a lot of clubs Having said that there are a few clubs about, Colchester has a club, there is a Suffolk and Essex Club and a very sucessful group called the West Essex Bantam Club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
