"In 2012 the members voted to centralise the National Show in Bloemfontein and we are very excited about this decision. We now have a dedicated team that is responsible for all aspects of the show. We are also very excited that we have two international judges officiating and all of these judges are champions in their own right," said Malcolm Taylor, show manager. Judges are Grant Findlay from the United Kingdom, South Africa is represented by Albert Olivier who is based in Kroonstad and Pierre Swart who joined the BBSA in 1993 and has served at all positions at club level and held the office of chairman of the Karoo Budgerigar Club from more than 10 years.

Awards, certificates and prizes will be awarded in 66 of the classes.
