The LCA Classic 2024

Posted on 10/11/2024 by Huw Evans 6 Comments

This year’s LCA Classic brought a few changes. I was judging rather than showing; and there was a new timetable aimed at enabling exhibitors to view the birds much earlier than in recent years. I can’t speak for my judging, but the latter was a big success. Some things didn’t change though: the friendly atmosphere, […]... Read More

The National Exhibition 2024

I missed the National Exhibition again this year but fortunately Andy Beesley, the Secretary of the Lizard canary section, recorded the event and sent me judge Chris Jordan’s report: “The show season started again at Stafford with the English National Exhibition. There were 71 birds entered, of which 65 were on the show bench in […]... Read More

A new COM Standard for the Lizard canary was approved at the OMJ congress held in Portugal this month. The proposal was prepared by the LCA and submitted by COM-UK. The most significant changes are: Features such as the eyelash and the lacings, that were omitted from the 2016 standard, have been restored. The Scale […]... Read More

LCA Classic 2021

Posted on 24/11/2021 by Huw Evans 3 Comments

It may be two years since the last Lizard Classic, but the LCA had put the time to good use. The show retained most of its tried and tested format, but there were innovations too. We had new staging; a much simpler two-tier assembly that is easier to store, transport and assemble than the […]... Read More

Club Amigos Del Canario Lizard show 2021

Posted on 13/11/2021 by Huw Evans Leave a comment

The 2021 Amigos show was held in Cartagena, a naval city just one hour’s drive from Alicante airport. We loved it; a city with a long history, some beautiful architecture, and free of the tourist tat that blights so many Spanish seaside resorts. My thanks to Jesús Ortiz García (better known as Yopi) and his […]... Read More

Business as usual? Not quite. There were obvious signs that 2021 was a transitional year; the covid lockdown had cast its shadow over the event. There were plenty of visitors, but not the crush of previous years; there were fewer trade stands in the sales halls and fewer rows of staging in the exhibition hall. […]... Read More
