Only birds entered into the RDBS junior classes (not breed club classes) will compete for the Junior Championship Row. Gold, silver and bronze medals are available to win. • Gold – champion junior • Silver – reserve champion junior • Bronze – section winners. Marriages have also donated vouchers for all the junior championship row winners. Club Show Junior Classes There are also junior classes for Belgians, Japanese and Pekins but these are not considered for Junior Championship Row and the medals but may well have breed club specials.
