In Adelaide, the Avicultural Society
of SA Inc. meets on the second Tuesday of each month
from 7.30pm for an 8.00pm start, at the Estonian
Hall, corner Jeffcott and Childers Streets, North
Adelaide. Meetings usually finish by about
10.00pm. Plenty of on-street parking is available
in the vicinity of the Estonian Hall.
Our monthly meetings usually consist
of :
-
a brief formal Administrative
section,
-
a "Question Box"
to help answer members' questions,
-
the main Topic for
the evening, often a Guest Speaker,
but sometimes a panel discussion or
even a number of smaller workshops,
-
the monthly Raffle
draw, and
-
Supper and avicultural
fellowship (i.e. cake, a cup of coffee and
a good chin wag about birds)

The February meeting is always
our Annual General Meeting. Towards the end
of each year we have a "Minchin Memorial Meeting",
when a Guest Speaker, usually from Interstate, presents
something a bit special. The December meeting
is our Christmas Break-up and is designed to be
a fun night with plenty of time for socialising
and Christmas cheer. Throughout the rest of
the year, meeting topics are as varied and interesting
as possible, and can range from Parrot and Finch
talks, to topics concerning Hand-raising, Building
Aviaries, planning Planted Habitat Aviaries, and
so on.
