History
After the formation of the Hunter Valley Avicultural Society
in 1998, members voted to hold a birdsale in order to raise funds for
club activities. Its first sale was held on the 25th May, 1999, in the
Ambulance practice Hall in Kurri Kurri. Following the success of the
this first sale, the society made it an annual event. Due to growing
popularity, it was decided after the Second Annual Sale that a larger
venue was needed. The Catholic Lyceum Hall on Cumberland Street in
Cessnock was chosen for future sales. The sale continued to grow and in
2003, it was moved to the Cessnock Basketball Stadium in Mount View
Road at the showground.
