The Birth of the Three Rivers Championship
Below is a proposal, printed in the May 1975's edition of Petfish Monthly, for a new championship put forward by the TTAA Council.
THE TYNE-TEES AREA ASSOCIATION of the FBAS propose to hold a championship show, sponsored by a. local firm, within the year 1976, and annually thereafter. As a general guide, pertinent points and proposals are
listed below, and interested club secretaries are asked to write for further details to write to Mr J. A. Laidler, or Mr G. Liddle.
The Show shall be called the ‘Three Rivers Championship’ and any club within a 35 mile wide radius of Durham City may compete. Classes eligible for the Championship will be designated by the TTAA but will
generally be the 30 accepted Open Show, classes. The names of the winner of each class, together with the number of points gained, shall be forwarded to the Organisers, at the conclusion of each Open Show. At the
end of the season, and about 4 weeks before the Championship Show, the competitors owning the four highest pointed fish in each class from the entire years’ total of Open Shows shall be invited to enter their fish
in the Three Rivers Championship. This would result in an Open Show type of Championship with 30 classes each containing four fish only. Judging shall be to FBAS Rules. Each entrant will receive a
scroll recording his or her achievement and the Best Fish in Show will be awarded the
Three Rivers Championship Trophy
From this initial proposal, a final set of rules was drawn up as seen below.
