The airport to fly to will be Porto. The event will be open to the public from Friday 24th January at 1100 hrs to Sunday 26th January 2020. Just imagine the magnitude of such an event! Apart from the large number of birds on display there are so many sales stands present for fanciers to buy an array of goods as well as birds. For further information about the show visit www.mundial2020.fonp.pt This event attracts a large entry like the 2019 entry in Holland of 24,863 from 3,342 exhibitors coming from 23 countries. We are delighted that one of our COM-UK judges, Kevin McCallum, has been invited to be one of the judges in Section E (Type Canaries). Each year our COM-UK team do well at the World Show and at the 2019 show we had an entry of 202 from 39 exhibitors and came back with 19 medals made up of 7 gold, 5 silver and 7 bronze medals. We hope to improve on this record next year. All birds entered at this show must be closed rung with COM approved closed coded ring of the actual exhibitor purchased through their society with COM ring colour sequence (see COM-UK website www.comuk.co.uk for this information). The World Show operates on a two-year owner bred young birds basis; so that only 2018 and 2019 owner bred closed rung birds can be accepted at the show for all budgerigars, British Birds and many types of Foreign Birds. However, all canary classes are for current year only. All fanciers who are members of any of the affiliated societies in either the IOA or NCA through COM-UK are entitled to exhibit at this show as long as the birds are closed rung with the exhibitor’s ID code. As part of COM Rules for all countries all individual entries have to come with a self declaration form from DEFRA/AHVLA and all breeders holdings must be registered with the government. This is very important. The UK team is taken by experience conveyors (Richard Lumley & Gary Mann) who will be transporting the U.K. Team to and from the show. Entries have to be in by 30th November and must be sent to the COM-UK Show Co-ordinator Simon Tammam (396 Ashley Road, Poole, Dorset BH14 0AA.

BULLET POINTS OF DISCUSSION TAKING PLACE AT THE MEETING ON 30 MAY 2019 AT PAVOA DA VARZIM PORTUGAL.
The meeting proceeded in English with simultaneous translation in French made by the new president of COM France. It was also announced that following Brexit, the UK listed status application has been agreed by EU Member States after it met the animal health and biosecurity assurances required for a third country to export live animals and animal products.

To export live animals to the EU the consignment will need to: Apply for an EHC (Export Health Certificate) Have the EHC signed by an authorised signatory, i.e. by an OV (Official Veterinarian) following an inspection of the consignment. The consignment has to be accompanied by the original EHC and the self-certification by the breeder with the registered holding, and email a copy to your EU importer or agent to enable them to pre-notify the EU Border Inspection Post (BIP). We must advise all our members to register their holdings with the veterinarian authorities with urgency to allow them to participate at event is the EU. Simon Tammam UK Delegate at the meeting |

COM – UK NEWS AUGUST 2017 by Ghalib Al-Nasser, Secretary & Publicity Officer COM-UK had its AGM in July and the various officers gave positive reports and feedback on the last World Show held in Almeria, Spain, last January. All members of the Management Committee were very pleased with the British team’s increase in entry from the 39 exhibitors that supported our team in comparison to the 33 exhibitors in 2016. It was even more pleasing when our team won 27 medals in comparison to the 22 that we won in 2016. We were also delighted that one of our exhibitors Saviour Camilleri won gold & silver medals in a very large class of 39 and another exhibitor Graham Bradbrook won a gold medal in a class of 54. All other exhibitors were congratulated for their efforts in supporting Team UK. COM-UK was also very pleased that Ian Wright passed his OMJ judging exam; increasing our numbers to 11 OMJ Judges. However, the outgoing President Chris Smith, was disappointed that we cannot encourage more national British judges to come forward to take the OMJ exam. It is hoped that we can provide an information pack complete with the a Standards booklet, application form, points system judging, exam procedure, copy of the COM Les Nouvelles and charge an amount for that pack to make our judges more aware of the procedure in an effort to recruit one applicant every year. COM-UK asks all individual fanciers and affiliated organisations to use the proper and correct channels in dealing with matters appertaining to the fancy by writing to COM-UK secretary for discussion by COM-UK Management Committee rather than writing to COM officials direct which invariably results in no reply by COM as they only deal with that country’s ruling body. The London Canary Fancy was an issue for discussion after the presentation of this variety at the last World Show. It was agreed that only birds with clear bodies, dark tail and wings be accepted for presentation for acceptance at COM World Show. It is hoped that a second presentation of this breed will be made at the 2019 World Show to be held in Holland. This is to give sufficient time to breed this variety to the standard. Every 3 years COM-UK has an election of its new 7 members Management Committee and as per our Constitution it is the turn of the IOA to provide the 4 delegates which includes the President and Treasurer while the NCA will provide the 3 delegates to include the Secretary: hence the following were elected. The new President for the next 3 years’ term is Richard Lumley with Chris Smith & Alan Robinson as the Vice Presidents. Ghalib Al-Nasser was elected as the new Secretary with Simon Tammam as the new Treasurer. The remaining 2 members of the 7 strong Management Committee are Brian Hogg and Gary Mann. Other officers elected were Ghalib Al-Nasser (Publicity Officer & website controller), Simon Tammam (World Show Coordinator), Brian Hogg (OMJ Coordinator), Richard Lumley & Alan Robinson (World Show Conveyors). The OMJ Technical Committee was elected to represent all branches of the hobby from its OMJ Judges and they were Ghalib Al-Nasser (Budgerigars), Simon Tammam (Posture Canaries - smooth & frill feathers), Geoff Walker (Coloured Canaries) and Graham Lee (Foreign Birds). Unfortunately we do not have an OMJ judge from the British Fancy as of yet. Paul Tiller was re-elected as the Auditor. COM-UK is now preparing for next year’s 66th World Show trip to Cesena, north Italy next January. It was agreed that the prices for entry per cage to remain the same as in the past with £15 per cage (£14 + £1 cancellation insurance) and a compulsory fee of £12 per catalogue per exhibitor. The cost in attending the Gala Dinner Saturday evening will be £55. COM-Eire was thanked for their cooperation in transporting both teams to the show and in particular Peter Sherlock for doing all the driving. The show will open to the public from Friday 19th January at 9.00am to Sunday 22nd January 2018.
