Marion Helton Newnan, Georgia Chairman NATIONAL SHOW ROLLER ASSOCIATION 2011 – 2012 Welcome to the National Show Roller Association. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of the American Show Roller Pigeon. The NSRA was formed to further promote and develop our beloved bird into one of the most interesting breeds in the Pigeon Hobby today, to enjoy great camaraderie, and create lifelong friendships throughout the United States of America. A big thanks is offered to those dedicated men and women who, over the years, have invested a great deal of time and effort to improving and sustaining our organization. To those who might not be familiar with the Show Roller, I offer the following introduction. The Show Roller is a bird with beauty and character unsurpassed, in my opinion, by any other breed in the world of pigeons. A great metamorphosis has taken place over the years through constant and diligent efforts by the fanciers, transforming our bird from the flying acrobat (the Birmingham Roller) to our present specimen that is shown for its anatomical and expressive qualities. All colors and patterns are displayed with great brilliance. I welcome anyone, who has not had the privilege of seeing the Show Roller, to visit our show area in various areas throughout the country. We show our birds at the National Young Bird Show in Louisville, Kentucky in October each year, at the All Age National Show in St. Louis, Missouri in January each year, and at National Shows all over the country. Once introduced, you will never forget the bird. You may check out our “Show Results” and “Champion Pictures” on this website to see pictures of our birds. Anyone interested in getting started with Show Rollers may contact any officer or director listed in the “Officers” section, and we would be happy to help you with some birds. I welcome all questions, comments and/or requests. My email address is marionhelton@aol.com, and my phone number is 770-253-9333. Let’s continue to enjoy our wonderful companion – The American Show Roller. Regards, Marion Helton Chairman National Show Roller Association
