Our AIMS
The Club exists to promote the Welsummer and to look after the best interests
of the breed and its keepers.
We're long ESTABLISHED
The Club was formed in 1928, but it had been around as the Welsummer Society
for two years before that.
The growing popularity of the breed has helped it become one of the biggest
poultry breed clubs in the UK.
We're UP TO DATE
Last year the Poultry Club of Great Britain initiated a new award for the best
breed club yearbook and it was our club that won it. We've done it again this
year, too!
Our SHOWS
In the UK and Ireland, the Club annually stages two national championship
shows, as well as a national egg show and six regional shows. Many regional
livestock shows devote special classes to Welsummers.
Shows are real shop windows for any breed and provide living illustrations of
the breed standard. They are also a means of demonstrating just what is
perceived to be an ideal specimen.
We're here FOR YOU
Welsummer Club members may, or may not, be interested in showing. They just
love the bird for itself, for its grace, its character, its temperament and its
eggs.
