Not sure if I should post this under Exibiting or not? I was just wondering what people thought of holding a silent auction at our nationals? I was more thinking of quality birds, but I guess merchandise could work as well. At our 2014 Nationals I really liked the idea, until someone decided to take it upon themselves to split them up as single birds. I would much rather of seen a breeding pair, that was donated,be sold as a breeding pair. I am not even sure if they could accommodate such a thing for us at the show? I just thought I would bring it up as a way of giving members/new members attending a way of getting quality stock. All proceeds would be respectfully going to the club to help fund next years National. I would be willing to help out if needed. It looks like I may even have some birds to possibly donate (knock on wood, a lot can happen between now and then). Just some food for thought, thanks for reading my rant.....
