Junior Lede / Junior Members

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Sierduif Vereniging beywer hom om ‘n liefde en passie vir Sierduiwe onder die Jeug te kweek met die oog op die verbetering van die kwaliteit en die standaard daarvan deur wedersydse hulp en advies van lede.
Die SASV het ‘n Jeugforum op die been gebring om die jeug te help met behulp van die Streekverteenwoordigers van elke streek. Die Jeugforum, bestaande uit die Nasionale Jeugforum Verteenwoordiger en die Streekverteenwoordigers / Jeugverteenwoordigers, sal poog om deurlopend met Juniors inverbinding te bly en hulle te help waar moontlik.
Die boek, “Handleiding vir die skou van Sierduiwe” is opgestel om die SASV se Juniors en die Jeug wat betrokke is Jeugskoue van inligting te voorsien hoe om met sierduiwe te begin boer, die duifrasse te leer ken, standaarde te ken, duiwe te versorg en vir siektes te behandel en voorbereiding voor ‘n skou.

Die SASV wil ook poog om die SASV se Jeug betrokke te kry die Nasionale Jeugskou Vereniging (Landbou Jeugvereniging) se Jeugskoue wat deur die Landbou Skole aangebied word; ook waar ander skole se Jeug betrokke kan wees. Voorts word gepoog om die Jeug van die Jeugskou Vereniging weer betrokke te kry die Suid-Afrikaanse Sierduif Vereniging. Deur albei die organisasies betrokke te wees, kan die Jeug se betrokkenheid diere en voëls net sterker word. So is daar is ook ‘n boek beskikbaar vir diegene wat met Wedvlugduiwe die Jeugskou Verenging wil skou.

Die Juniors moet die “Handleiding vir die skou van Sierduiwe” ken. Dit is om elke Junior te help om sy duiwe goed te ken en eendag die SASV verder op te bou. Die SASV se Jeug is die toekoms van die SASV en hoe meer kennis hulle van jongsaf opdoen, hoe meer gaan hulle later vir die SASV beteken. Kennis kan nie van jou weg geneem word nie.

The South African Pigeon Association strives to foster a love and passion for Pigeons under Youth with a view to improving its quality and standard through mutual assistance and advice from members.
The SASA has set up a Youth Forum to assist the youth with the regional representatives of each region. The Youth Forum, consisting of the National Youth Forum Representative and the Regional Representatives / Youth Representatives, will endeavor to keep in touch with Juniors and help them where possible.
The book, "Guide to the Show Pigeons" has been set up to provide the SASV's Juniors and Youth involved Youth Shows with information on how to start farming with pigeons, get to know pigeons, know standards, care for pigeons and for diseases and preparation for a show.
The SASA also wants to try to get the SASA Youth involved in the National Youth Show Association (Agricultural Youth Association) Youth Shows presented by the Agricultural Schools; also where other schools youth can be involved. Furthermore, an attempt is made to get the Youth of the Youth Show Association back into the South African Pigeon Association. By engaging both organizations, youth involvement of animals and birds can only become stronger. So there is also a book available for those who want to watch the Peacock Pigeon Youth Show.
The Juniors must know the “Guide to the Show of Pigeons”. It is to help every junior to know his pigeons well and one day to build up the SASA. The SASA's Youth is the future of the SASA and the more knowledge they gain from early on, the more they will mean later on for the SASA. Knowledge cannot be taken away.

Spesiale Toekennings op Skoue / Special Awards on Shows

A special feature of Regional and Championship Shows is the “Top Seven Awards” where interbreed judging takes place. Breed judges ascertain the Champion bird in each breed. The Breed Champions (there may be 70 of them if there are 70 different breeds on show) are then judged a Senior “All Round” Judge to find the seven best pigeons on show, namely the Grand Champion Pigeon on Show. The top seven awards are made up of the 7 best birds on show. An award for the best young bird is added to the awards, as well as the champion and reserve champion birds exhibited a junior member.

The interbreed judging is the most thrilling event of the National Championship Show each year, and to obtain such an award is a breathtaking experience that is difficult to describe to others. To exhibit the Grand Champion Pigeon in South Africa may happen only once in the lifetime of a fancier.

'n Spesiale kenmerk van Streeks- en Kampioenskapskoue is die "Top Sewve Toekennings" waar interras beoordeling plaasvind. Ras beoordelaars bepaal die Kampioen voël in elke ras. Die Raskampioene (70 van hulle kan 70 wees indien daar 70 verskillende rasse op die skou is). Daarna word 'n Senior Beoordeellaar geoordeel om die sewe beste duiwe op die skou te vind, naamlik die Algehele Kampioen op die Skou. Die top sewe toekennings bestaan uit die 7 beste voëls op die skou. 'n Toekenning vir die beste jong voël word by die toekennings gevoeg, asook die kampioen- en reserwe-kampioenvoëls het 'n junior lid uitgestal.
Die interras beoordeling is elke jaar die mees opwindende gebeurtenis van die Nasionale Kampioenskapskou. Om so 'n toekenning te bekom, is 'n asemrowende ervaring wat moeilik is om aan ander te beskryf. Om die Algehele Kampioenduif in Suid-Afrika te vertoon, kan net een keer in die leeftyd van 'n vertoner gebeur.
