Who's going
Cheers Lachlan

probably me.

My sister silkyhaven is going to the Seminar, not sure about the action.

Hello this may be a silly question but is the seminar only for qld or is it taking place in other states at a later time. I would love to come as it sounds great.

Not sure if it going interstate as the Beaudesert poultry club organised it.

Well I went down today and am back already. Kayleen Flynn from Clifton had some absolutely outstandng sussex up for auction. A nice trio of lights went for $160. A really nice trio of red sussex went for $200. I really wanted them but don't have the room. Wish I had taken more money.

any chance any one knows what the japs,brahmas and equiptment when for???

Sorry, I didn't stay.

I didn't see any Brahmas at all though and one of the chooks listed as a barnevelder wasn't a barnevelder. It was a straight comb gl wyandotte
