Welcome to the
International Gloster Breeders Association |
 |
|
Dear Fancier,
Welcome to igba.org.uk, the new home for the International Gloster Breeders Association.
The association was formed in 1966 and has over 900
members throughout the world. Since the early twenties,
the interest in the Gloster has gone from strength to
strength not only in the quality of the birds but also
in the membership and formation of Gloster Canary Clubs.
No doubt the popularity has been due to the corona, this
with its partner the consort, has attracted so many
fanciers to take up the challenge of breeding this
delightful bird.
The Association offers further interest to the hobby by
its activities paving the way to create many friendships
between its members.
I trust the information found on the web site will be of
use to you, however changes can occur at our A.G.M.
which is usually held in March.
If you have recently joined the Association or thinking
of doing so and require any information, please do not
hesitate to
contact us.
