 IGBA President 2022

A
introduction...
n
The President of the IGBA for the coming year
gives us an insight into how it all began and his
special connection with the UK.

I am 64 years old and married to Caroline, I have one

son, named Kevin, a grandson, and a granddaughter. I’ve
been keeping Glosters for more than 45 years now.
I bought my first Glosters from my neighbour, and later
on, he became a good friend. A few years later, when
I’d bought a car, my great friend the late Kris Claes and
I, went to see Derek & Margaret Moore, to buy birds.
Caroline and I still visit Derek and Margaret every year
and they’ve become really good friends over the years.
Along with my friend Marnix D’Hont, we have been
visiting the IGBA show for over 30 years.
Every year, I organize the Kris Claes Memorial Show,
where we get around 800 entries each year.
It’s a great honour to be elected as president of the IGBA
2022.
I wish everyone a good breeding season, and I hope to
meet you all at the IGBA Show 2022.
Stay safe !

Best Regards
Ludo

 UK Affiliations Secretary Report
Upon reflection “It just grewed”
by Adrian Short UK Affiliate / Event Secretary
I might start off this report by saying that the roll
of UK Affiliate & Patronage Secretary has become
a little bit like Harriet Beecher Stowes Topsy when
she said “I s’pect it growed. Don’t think nobody
never made me do it” (one or two words added)
It just grewed to incorporate Events.
Well, it has certainly been a frustrating couple of
years starting with Brexit turning the UK into a
third country (Third countries are states that fall
outside of the GDPR ZONE (EU members states
plus Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland) restrict-
ing movement of Glosters into or out of the UK
without adhering to stringent regulations, which
stopped our Continental members from exhibiting
at any IGBA shows since 2019
Richard Lumley is better placed to advise on the
past, present and future of these regulations. But
things don’t stop there, that’s not the only road-
block we have experienced, Covid virus pandemic
lockdown in 2019/ 20 and now the highly patho-
genic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 has hit the UK
curtailing some of our affiliate’s show and exclud-
ing overseas attendance.
In 2021 we only had 2 (two) All Gloster patronage
applications and 1 (one) C.B.S. application. Hope-
fully in 2022 we can get past this situation and be
able to hold a full calendar of 19 AG shows.
Even though the IGBA is based in the UK the
committee is keen to keep all our members and
affiliated clubs involved in Gloster activity no mat-
ter where you are located, in the world. If one just
likes to keep up to date once a year with what’s
going on there is the yearbook.
If you want to view ongoing activity on a regular
basis, we now have a fantastic new web www.
igba.co.uk which is a good tool for all members
and affiliates to promote your clubs though adver-
tising your show, having your show report on the
website, and providing articles for the Blog page.
You can engage in our regular bi-monthly presen-
tations all included in your member subs.
The Affiliation fee is now a combined annual fee
of Affiliation, Patronage and Show Advert at a cost
10
that is no greater than prior
years, making it easier for clubs
to identify with one payment
and our Treasurer to account as
one item.
You might well ask how does all
this happen? The answer is sim-
ply by having the will to bring
forward modern ideas and then
having a committee willing to
back those ideas, letting me
get on unhindered with the job
of increasing the profile of the
IGBA.
Examples of positive change is 1) The resurrection of
the previously rejected British Championship which
is now up and running adding extra interest to the
show calendar 2) looking to introduce a Continental
equivalent 3) future implementation of a Virtual
Show 4) ways and means of enhancing the members
show – live stream, video interviews, rolling Power-
Points, banners, posters.
We, the committee, are open to any suggestions to
make the club better and at the same time promote
Glosters round the world. So no matter where you
are in the world please don’t hesitate to send your
suggestions to admin@igba.co.uk . Help us to make
the IGBA, the World’s Premier Gloster group, better
positioned to be the prime mover in pushing the
Gloster fancy forward into a bright future. Remem-
ber you are the IGBA.

Secretary Report

A Trying Year for the IGBA

by Richard Lumley Overseas & Patronage Secretary

2021 was once again for everybody a trying year with “The
Covid” effecting the whole world, yet I am pleased to say the
IGBA has overcome lots of things.

W e started the year with the sudden death of our membership sec Roger Wilton just when the
first yearbook was coming out and we had a massive amount of work to get things to turn around, so any
overseas member who either got his book late or did not get one please remember
what we had to do as Roger kept a lot of information in his head. Ian Allison
took over the job in the short term.

Thanks to a tremendous amount of work by the new committee

new things are now in place to help you in paying subs, and
keeping up to date with what is going on with the new
website.
Adrian Short is doing loads of work for the showing side of
the IGBA and I feel this is why you the overseas member
is making the IGBA the leading association in the bird
world.

Brexit came and at a stroke stopped us going to shows

in Europe and our members coming to the show
with birds, but I am pleased to say that the IGBA are
affiliated to the IOA-COM of which I am president and
we have made great progress with Defra in the past
year and things are coming together which will allow us
to get back to where we were, the only problem is there
will be a cost to be paid.

Our show went ahead in Oct with a new show hall and
after great work by the committee the weekend was a HUGE
SUCESS with 1000 birds entered and all these birds were from
the UK.
The show was won by Adrian Short with Best Corona and Best Consort
he became only the third member to do this. Two very nice birds. Clubs
from across Europe are still supporting us in the patronage side and we have 14
clubs in the scheme.

 IGBA - Show Judge 2022
My lifelong interest in birds from a young lad being rescued

Steve Webb by the Fire Service from the battlements of Kenilworth Castle,
whilst in search of a jackdaw’s nest to the equally heady heights
of being appointed a judge for the I.G.B.A. has been quite a
colourful and eventful journey.

Bird nesting, a jackdaw as a pet and keeping budgerigars

in my youth eventually led me to the Cage Bird fraternity and I
started with a pair of Green Aderrats nearly seventy years ago.
I then moved on to Zebra finches and Gloster canaries in the
1970’s but was unable to continue after 1982 due to construc-
tion career demands.

On my retirement in 2009 I re-joined the Gloster Fancy

and have enjoyed immensely the last twelve years of breeding,
showing, and making and renewing friendships.
It is a great honour and privilege to be appointed a judge and
my warmest thanks go to those members who voted for me.
I look forward to seeing everyone in October and wish you all
a happy, healthy, and successful breeding season and showing
year.
May the joy and enthusiasm that we all share with
Gloster canaries flourish and continue.

I am 64 years old married with two daughters, both of which are

married giving me two son in-laws and 3 grandchildren. I live in
Delft which is in the southwest of the Netherlands.
Ruud Bakker
I have kept birds most of my life. As a child I had a small
aviary in the back yard. When I met my wife Ina, I had a small
apartment with a spare room for my birds, it’s then when I start-
ed with zebra finches and canaries; firstly, coloured canaries. A
few years later I changed to type canaries as I was taken with
the Gloster’s especially the corona at a local show. After that I
became a fan of that type, amongst others.

Over the years I have almost had all types of canary in my

shed. In 1989 I saw my first Borders and Fife fancy at a show
from the posture canary club in the south of Holland. After a
few years, I started in 1997, I studied to become a type canary
judge and I became a ANBvV judge type canary in 2000. Later I
also succeeded to become a COM-OMJ judge and have judged
at several World shows, Gloster and Border and Fife fancy shows
abroad, in Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and the UK and also
the Canadian and Malta Nationals. The birds I now have in my
shed are Gloster, Border, Fife fancy and Irish fancy.

I would like to express how priviliged I feel to have been asked

to be a judge at the 2022 IGBA.

 IGBA - Show Judge 2022

Brian Durrell I have been breeding & exhibiting Gloster canaries for over 50 years and
have been on the judges panel since the age of 21.

I've been very fortunate to be invited to judge many of the leading all
Gloster shows in the UK, and over the years I have had the pleasure of
being invited to judge at a lot of shows in Belgium, Holland, Germany,
Italy and Malta.

I would like to thank the members who invited me to judge the IGBA
Club show, this will be my third time and I'm looking forward to judging
and meeting up with everyone at the show.

For those of you that do not know me I am Dave Rands, I have been
keeping Gloster Canarys for some 30+ years now and have had the Dave Rands
pleasure of Judging around the World. During this time i have met some
incredibly nice people and made some great friends along the way.

I am the club secretary and Show Manager for the Humberside Gloster
Club, it always gives me great pleasure putting on a succesful show each
year.

There is no better Honour than being asked to Judge the IGBA Show and I
am looking forward to the 2022 Show and meeting old friends again from
across the water. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very
good breeding season and a succesful Show.

 IGBA - Show Judge 2022

Trevor Goddard Hi all can i start by saying thank you to the members who voted for
me to Judge this years show. It is an honour to be asked to Judge the
best all Gloster show in the World.

I started keeping birds at the age of 13 when someone asked me

to look after their Zebra Finches while they were away on holiday.
From then on I was hooked.

I started breeding/showing Glosters at the age of 17 and shortly

afterwards went into partnership with Bill Kingcombe for a while. In
recent times i am in partnership with Dave Rands. I hope everyone
has had a great breeding season and are all ready for a successful
show season I look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new
ones.

Adrian Short is only the third exhibitor to take the top two awards
in 35 years at this great Gloster show. He follows Paul Garner in
2003 and Barrie Alexander in 2004.

In the novice section this would be the fifth time the double
had been achieved with Ian Chamberlain taking both corona and
consort awards.

George Nichol’s strong team has been a major force at the IGBA over
the last five years without taking the top awards. However the two
leading coronas were to go head to head again at the North of England
Show a few weeks later with George’s variegated hen over turning the
result of the IGBA.

Adrian’s TPD hen is typical of the modern Gloster short and round
with a full body, whereas George’s hen is sweeter in comparison
and not so full in body. Two wonderful
hens that deserved the recognition at
the world’s leading Gloster show.

Statisticians Dream...
For all you statisticians out here
wondering who was better positioned
than who at IGBA2021, this will be the
answer to your musings.

Allocating First to Seventh place

awards 7 for first place down to
1 for seventh place, an interesting
fact is that Mr George Nicol came out
on top for the second show running.
George will have appeared at the top of
the Members Show leaderboard for the most
points allocated in 4 of the past 5 show years;
Mr Darren Gill knocking him off that spot into
second place in 2018.

Of course statistics can provide a different

perspective on your endeavours.

How Successful was I?

Did i show in as many classes as other

exhibitors?

Who topped the number of entries?

On Sunday 21st November 2021 Portknockie

CBS held its open show in the Cullen Bowling
Judge and Tennis Club.
Over the past few years, the Gloster section has seen an
Dave Hobart increase in entries from 50 in 2015 to this year’s entry of
just under 150, that is without a show in 2020. Since our
last show in 2019 we have 3 new Gloster breeders and 1
returning after a few years out of the fancy. Two of the
new fanciers didn’t have time to get ready for showing
and the returning fancier showing a few birds from a first
breeding season. With a good breeding season in front of
them it all bodes well for another increase in 2022.

Portknockie CBS now has the largest show of Glosters

in Scotland for which we are really proud. This year our

Wright with him who was making an even longer trip from
Middlesbrough, just for the famous Cullen Skink. Given
our geographical position, 60 miles east of Inverness on
the Moray Firth coast we really appreciate Dave for doing
the honors and Robbie for his continued support and the
donation of a fine pair of Glosters, which went for £100 by
silent action.
Best Gloster went to Sandy Hay with a nice Unflighted Buff

Best Cinnamon went to Donnie Bain from Wick with a

Unflighted Consort cock making the long journey worth-
while. Best Yellow went to Michael Anderson from Duff-
town with an Unflighted Consort Cock. Best White went to
Jason Miller from Bonnyrigg near Edinburgh.

The only disappointing part of the show was the absence

of Novice and Junior exhibitors, but I think most shows
struggle in this area, I’m afraid we can’t compete with the
computer games so we will just have to live with it.

Golden D-Cup
The second edition of the Golden D-Cup was held on
the 4th December at the Mosta Communal Hall which is
situated in the heart of Malta.

This was the second edition which reached a total 243 exhibits,
all champion, which is why the show was labelled “The Show of
Champions”. The Golden D-Cup was created and named by a small
group of friends who wanted to preserve the Maltese and British
connection and the way the Gloster Canary is exhibited.

The strong bond between the two countries, which has a history
of 25 years of exhibiting local birds in the British standard show
cage, was dented when the black D-Cup drinker was abolished
from the Maltese Islands, ironically on the 20th anniversay from
its inception. This move triggered the creation of the Gloden
D-Cup all Gloster Open Show which saw the standard drinker
coming back with a bang, this time even in Gold, Silver and
Bronze, three drinkers that are taken home by the winners and
runner-up.

The judge for this year’s show was Bruno Chetta, from France,
who did an excellent job and left an overall good impression on all
the Maltese exhibitors.
The Best Gloster in Show was won by Raymond Borg with a lovely
unflighted buff consort hen that was a deserved winner. Best
Opposite Head in Show was also won by Raymond with a beautiful
variegated buff corona hen that could have also won the show,
as she was equally superb. The Aggregate Cup was won by Mario
Zahra who scored a total 173 points, winning 9 classes and eleven
2nd & 3rd placings in all categories.

Other winners included: Third Best in Show,

Best Corona Hen, Best Consort Hen and Best
Consort Cock all won by Raymond Borg. Best
Corona Cock was won by Mario Zahra.

Best Buff - Raymond Borg; Best Three Parts

Dark - Mark Cilia who also won Best Grizzle;
Best Cinnamon - Mario Zahra; Best Yellow -
Raymond Borg and Best White was won by
Peter Falzon.

The organisers of the Golden D-Cup would like

to thank Bruno Chetta (Judge) for his super
job, all the exhibitors for believing in the show
concept and all the sponsors for supporting an
event that is fast becoming “one to list on your
calendar”.

Event Report West M idlands G l o

Somethings you can’t Predict

West Midland Gloster Association and their
new partners Midland Gloster Fancy Canary
Association were looking forward to hosting an
exceptional entry to their first combined event
on the 7th November 2021...
Entries piled in from the start of October taking the number
to 700 before “Harri” the show secretary had to close entries
to ensure a safe hall capacity. This obviously left many notable
exhibitors seemingly unable to participate at WMGA21.

Then disaster struck, and to quote a TV sitcom character of

the 90’s Victor Meldrew, a retiree whose insufferable attitude only attracts bad luck, the phrase “I do not believe it”
could be heard resounding across the Midlands.

Why? Because a highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 hit the country and cases were recorded close to
the Bromsgrove venue. The consequences being that Defra / Apha confirmed that the show could not go ahead as
the venue was just within a containment zone. How unlucky can you get? WMGA formed in 2017 by now should be
holding its 5th Exhibition but is struggling to get number 3 off the ground. Exceptionally heavy snow in year one, then
Covid lockdown and now avian flu have restricted holding the event on 3 occasions, BUT not to be defeated WMGA
will pick itself up and look positively toward 2022.

Judges, Neil Burton, Paul Reay, Dave Hobart are returning to try again to judge some of the best exhibited Glosters
in the country. Date is fixed 6th November 2022 Venue available, Hotels booked, Trophies, Certificates, Rosettes in
place. So, with heart felt apologies going out to all those 2021exhibitors, we are sorry that yet again the situation was
out of our control, and we had to pull the event at the last minute. We sincerely hope that you have already marked
the date in your 2022 show calendar as a must attend event. We want to emulate 2021 numbers and if possible,
break the 700 ceiling.

Forever the optimists’ schedules and entry forms are already available on the West Midland web site https://
westmidgloster.wixsite.com/wmga/current-future-events. Annual trophies available for open competition are
probably the finest and certainly the most historic on the show circuit, dating back to the 1940’s. Something to get
your name(s) associated with.

Judges . . .
Myself and Eugene McComb travelled from
Ireland after being invited to judge in The 1st
Gloster Show in Valencia back on December ‘21.

T
It was a pleasure to be there and we enjoyed it
immensely. Everything was well organised and
went off without a hitch. Eugene and I were well
looked after by club members and made to feel
very welcome.

Anyone invited to judge, I highly recommend you

doing so as it’s a great weekend. The Glosters are
of high quality.
The club was founded in
Special mention to Francisco Cortes for 2019 and we have about 80
organising our stay in Valencia. Thank you very
members. Last year we held
the club’s first show and we
much.

Myself and fellow judges Eugene and Pere had an entrance of 744
Massegur of Spain were very honoured to judge glosters and 73 exhibitors

H umberside gloster association held their annual show on Sunday 28th

November at Gilberdyke village hall. Due to covid restrictions the two judges
booked from Portugal had to cancel a week before the show, so thankfully
Darren Gill and Mick Rose were able to step in to join already booked Eddie
Loughran from Northern Ireland after much deliberating they selected a
very nice short cobby unflighted fawn corona hen from the partnership
of Trevor Goddard and Dave Rands it beat Ian Chamberlain’s unflighted
buff corona cock as their best Gloster.

An entry of 685 with 652 benched this was 56 down on the 2019
show. This was due to the exhibitors who normally come over from
Northern Ireland and the Netherlands not allowed because of covid
which usally counts to around 250 birds which would have given us a
record entry which at present stands at 804. Hopefully next year. Their was

Report
2021 BREEDER EXHIBITOR CHAMPIONSHIP
A very restricted 2021 Exhibition Year, due to
Human and Avian Virus restrictions, came to a
conclusion with the Humberside Show in late
November.
Darren Gill was drafted in at the last minute to
judge Humberside it meant that the Skeffington &
Gill partnership’s continued grip on the Champion
leadership going into the final round 5 rested on
their previous performances, and if George Nicol
continued his recent winning ways there was a
good chance that he might ease into the premier
spot at the last minute. With the Goddard & Rands
partnership taking the top Humberside award it
left George Nicol trailing the long-time leaders
Skeffington & Gill by 60 points. The IGBA 2021 winner
Adrian Short finally taking a well earned third place.
The Novice sector has seen a clear leader from the
start. Ian Chamberlain has taken the accolades at
both IGBA 2021 and Affiliate Open shows proving
dominant throughout the exhibition season.
A fitting conclusion to the Junior Championship saw
Ruby and Amy Lambert claim joint ownership to
being crowned Junior Champion.
Kent AG, Northern, Yorks Fife & Gloster, Mid
Antrim, Swansea, North of England, Humberside all
46
contributed to getting the Championship initiative off
and running with Yorkshire, West Midlands, South
Coast scheduled events being cancelled at the last
minute due to being in a Defra Avian Flu restricted
zone.
It is hoped that a return to relative normality for the
2022 Exhibition season will see the inclusion of all
IGBA affiliates engaging in the competition making it
a 19 event Championship. Any UK Gloster group that
is not an affiliate wanting to participate just need to
visit the affiliate page of the IGBA website and join.
Warm congratulations from all Gloster Breeder /
Exhibitors go to the Champion Leaders Skeffington
& Gill, Novice Leader Ian Chamberlain and Juniors
Ruby & Amy Lambert. All will be presented with the
perennial Breeder / Exhibitor Shields at the March
AGM.
Finally it might not have escaped your attention that
the IGBA members show did not contribute to the
2021 Championship. Adrian Short, the Championship
initiator, will be making some slight changes to the
format for 2022 one of which will include the World’s
Premier Gloster show.

 Memories of the First Netherlands
All Gloster Show (ENGS)
“As the last couple of years have been so difficult with so many shows
being cancelled, I found myself remembering the great times I have had
travelling to Holland to judge the First Netherlands all Gloster Club Show”
The show was the brainchild of Bert Munneke and Ben Mense in 1990.
At the time there were no All Gloster shows in the Netherlands,
so Bert and Ben were taking a risk within the fancy in Holland,
especially by adopting the UK classification and the comparison
method of judging. Bert and Ben were good friends with
Dave Norris so asked Dave to judge the show together with a
judge of his choice. It was a privilege that Dave chose me to
accompany him and the start of many friendships.
I have many fond memories and experiences of travelling and
judging the show and seeing the sights of the Netherlands and
making many new friends. I cannot remember exactly how
many occasions I have judged the show, but it must be over 15
times by now.

I remember the first show very well; Dave Norris and I got the
overnight sleeper ferry from Sheerness and were picked up early in the morning by Bert Munneke at Vlissingen. I was
very tired having not slept all night due to Dave’s snoring.
We were asked to bring birds over for sale at the show, so the first job was to stop for breakfast and give the birds a
drink. Bert had organised a couple visits to other fanciers during our free day on the Friday, we also had to pick up
the trophies and rosettes. We stayed at Bert’s house with the bird room being out of bounds until after the show.
That first show was my first experience judging outside of the UK, and the first with all the
exhibitors watching, at the time was not done in the UK and I thought it was a great idea.
I believe there was an entry of around 330 birds, all in the old heavy budgie style cages, with sand in the bottom.
I remember John Vandenstraten winning best in show with a
Corona hen. As always, we were treated to a superb meal in
the evenings, Dave Norris spoiling himself when he knew he
shouldn’t, his words were “Oh go on then” when asked if he
wanted dessert. Dave’s phrase is still remembered now and is
always repeated whenever Bert and I meet up. We had to be up
early on Sunday for the return home, but not nearly enough, as it
was a fast car journey with Bert jumping a few red lights to get to
Vlissingen just in time to catch the boat.
It has always been a pleasure to judge at the show; I have made
many good friends over the years and judged alongside many
fanciers from the UK and Belgium. The quality of the birds has
improved greatly from the first show 30 years ago; the standard and quality in depth is now on a par if not better
than in the UK. The show continues to go from strength to strength, which is a credit to the show organisers in
particular Bert and Ben who are still at the helm. The show also benefits from the commitment of all the members
and fanciers throughout Holland and Belgium.

Let us all hope that we can get back to normal soon and all shows can go ahead without threat of cancellation and
restrictions.

 N orth Of Scotland Gloster Club
New Annual Show !
On Sunday 23rd January 2022 a meeting was held in the
McBoyle Hall Portknockie to see if there was enough
support to start an All Gloster show in the N E of Scotland.
The meeting didn’t last long as it was unanimously agreed
to give it a go. A show date was agreed to be Sunday 23
October in the McBoyle Hall Portknockie.
“The meeting didn’t
Show Hall last long as it was
This is the same hall that Portknockie CBS hold their monthly
sales. A light and airy hall with high ceilings and as of Sunday unanimously agreed to
23rd brand new lights being fitted. With access to a fully give it a go”
fitted kitchen catering will be of the highest standard with
ample space in the attached snug for dining. The show hall
is owned by Portknockie Amenities so 2 days hall hire is
only £60. There is ample parking available. The show hall is
convenient for our staging which is stored a mere 100mtrs
away.
Accomodation
Accommodation is well served by the Cullen Bay Hotel
2 miles away or 20 minutes walk across the golf course
if so inclined. The show hall can be seen from the hotel
conservatory.

Things to do
While judging is in progress fanciers can stroll along the
beach or walk along the cliff tops and if you are lucky you
might see the Moray Firth dolphins.

Judge Appointment
The judge appointed for our inaugural show is Sam Guy from
Mansfield. We really appreciate Sam making the journey. For
fanciers making the journey for the first time, please, do not
set your sat nav until you reach the Aberdeen area. If setting
your sat nav earlier, you will get the scenic route over the
mountains. You have been warned.

Donation
A very generous donation of £100 has been donated by
Donnie Bain for Best Gloster at the inaugural show of the
North of Scotland Gloster Club. The club really appreciates
Donnie’s generosity.

 IGBA Website “BAC
In the second edition of the 2021 year-
book there was an extensive article on
both the need for and production of a
modern fit for purpose website, our old,
tired, unstructured, user- unfriendly site
dying a technological death.
The article clearly identified the position the 17
person committee had to deal with and the major-
ity decision to engage professional developers to
build a site
Voting Results:
(Including emailed absent members)
- 14 FOR.
- 2 AGAINST.
Since 8th June 2021, when the site went live,
there have been vastly more positive than
negative accolades received, Cage and Aviary
magazine identifying it as “a level above specialist
avian websites”, members identifying the ease
of payment of subs, something for Novice and
Champion alike, easy of navigation across the
site and something new on a regular basis. New
member application and overseas affiliation has
increased, arguably due to the reach of the new
website.
We now have active interest from a developer of
an international avian directory to engage with the
association. There is now a platform to be able to
live stream future events and somewhere we can
promote IGBA as an organisation. One we can be
proud of to enable us to engage external partners.
It has been mooted, by a small number of
members, that social media was a better option to
pursue. Whilst one understands that social media,
if utilised properly, has its merits there needs to be
clarification on why we have moved in the website
direction and the subsequent development cost.
50
So why web site development vs social media
development? We asked the professionals to
comment, and this was the response:
“The IGBA website has been a large project, the
concept has been scaled back for various reasons
that will become obvious”.
Our understanding is that the reason the IGBA
committee made the decision to build a new
website is
1) The old site was no longer supportable, the hosts
having upgraded their platform and your files were
incompatible with that upgrade
2) To move with the times and invest in the future.
Here are our objective professional thoughts on this
subject which come from a combined 40+ years’
experience in professional media, web design and
development.
Facebook...
Yes, we have recommended some business start-
up’s use a Facebook business page to get them
started before investing money in a website
presence. This may seem strange to some but
Papersky is all about the client. Facebook business
usually works well for businesses that potentially
are starting to sell a product or something that
is visual, such as nail artist or Yoga/ Exercise
businesses.
However. this usually ends with them eventually
investing in a website. Facebook business pages
or group pages are good up to a point, but you
have limited control over what details you can
input as well as the organisation of your page and
its information content. Which means it can lack
easy user interaction. What and how you input
information /communicate and design is within
Facebook control not yours.
Yes… your page is your own but it also contains
a lot of distractions from other pages, sponsored
adverts, suggestions groups etc. It isn’t suitable
for publishing content like articles or lengthy
documentation for your members to read or
interact with.
Yes… you can put a post up but it will just be a
K TO THE FUTURE”
length of unformatted text that a user will find
uninteresting and will eventually disappear down
the Facebook stream and be
a) unfindable and
b) forgotten about.
Items, similar to this, are populated on Facebook by
posting links on a Facebook page to your website.
Then users can see a preview post that sends them
to the actual article page. Which is
a) easy to find,
b) interestingly laid out and
c) digestible.
Facebook pages or groups, when used correctly, is
a place to publish “posts” about items you have set
up on your website. This then pushes your users to
come back to your websites’ eco structure.
We as developers had discussed at the planning
stage that a Facebook page should be set up, and
were advised that the membership consensus at a
prior AGM was not to establish a Facebook page.
If you wish to see how you ensure that Facebook
positively integrates with websites to push
information around your community / potential
community to be able to increase your reach to
potential new members we can do that. It really is a
question of developing a two-pronged approach.
A major flaw with Facebook is privacy and data
issues. This has been a huge topic of late. There
is increasing evidence of a wave of individuals
not using Facebook any longer with Instagram
seemingly starting to dominate the social world.
This is particularly noticeable in the younger
generation. Instagram and TikTok seem to be the
preferred methods of social entertainment and
engagement.
We understand the IGBA is an organisation that has
a long history (55years) and has members across
the world but, in our opinion, has inadequately
represented itself on the web and done nothing to
enhance its credibility as the Premier Gloster group.
Some businesses or organisations still don’t realise
that the majority of the population will seek to visit
a website before deciding on whether they want to
purchase a product or join/sign up for something -
and the quality of your website impacts the results.
A good functioning and designed website increase
www.igba.co.uk
your organisation credibility. With the onset of
Covid-19 the need and requirement for having a
web presence has increased dramatically. Having a
website does incur a cost which in the long term will
be beneficial. The way we build sites for our clients
means that you have full control over your website.
From how it looks down to what you publish and
how you organise it.
All our websites are built bespoke which means that
you are not using a template. A template restricts
you to what you can and cannot do within a theme
and ultimately means in the end you end up with
a site that is trying to fit a square peg into a round
hole.
We tend to have clients that have tried this
approach in the beginning and found the site hasn’t
been working for them, or that it is too complicated
to administer the site properly. Not to mention that
the site would be bloated, this means there is a lot
of excess code that is not used and can impact your
site performance. Plus, you have no-one to ask for
advice or turn to for help when something goes
wrong e.g. you find a bug, which can happen when
you are trying to force a template to do something
it wasn’t designed to do, ultimately leading to a
broken design / function and frustration.
This leads to our final comment on cost. If there
was no connection to the IGBA and an approached
made to Papersky to build this site it would cost a
minimum of £5,000.
For your comparative purposes we have past clients
with sites that build cost exceeded
£5,000, who had quotes from other companies such
as “WeAreBeard” around £2000 more than our
pricing structure. The build of this site has vastly
surpassed £2,000 which we are happy to support
given our relationship with IGBA personnel.

New Web Performance Analytics Since going live 8th June 2021
When the old website went the way of all things past, as reported the committee took the no- brainer, but brave,
decision to instruct a professional rebuild. So has that decision proved successful or not? Has money been well
spent or not? Statistical evidence from the sites’ analytics seem to answer both questions in the positive. One of the
prime interesting points is that the greater majority of accessing of the site has been by mobile devices. Another is
the country reach the new site is achieving. This seems to identify that the Association needs to take notice of the
fact that future media communication must, whilst not dismissing traditional methods, start to focus on best use of
mobile communicating.

A site’s bounce rate is important because it tells you how well people are or more importantly, aren’t engaging with
a webpage’s content or user experience. A high bounce rate means that a visitor’s overall session duration is short;
they visit a page on your site and leave. A low bounce rate means that visitors are spending time on a page and
clicking on available links.
So, what is a good bounce rate? A bounce rate of 56% to 70% is on the high side, although there could be a good
reason for this, and 41% to 55% would be considered an average bounce rate. An optimal bounce rate would be in
the 26% to 40% range.
The key to continued success is for members and affiliates to discard negativity and positively engage with their
association. Produce and provide interesting editorial e.g. club news, show reports & pictures, new initiatives to
support the tireless work of the committee in bringing something new to the membership and the Gloster Fancy
across the world. Remember you are the association wherever you are in the world your contribution matters. Simply
let admin@igba.co.uk have your contribution and it will become a well viewed Blog.

The first Scotland’s National Show will be held later this
year on December 11 at the Bo’ness Recreation Centre in
Bo’ness, Falkirk; an ideal venue with a large exhibition hall
and an adjoining space to accommodate club and trade
stands.
Mr Julien explained: “It is a fresh start for a national show in
Scotland and a new team of people with a can-do attitude.
We are all working hard to make the show a success.”
The show will be similar to the National Exhibition at
Stafford, whereby the SNBC will be the umbrella organiser
and clubs can stage a show within their own sections.
