Screen Shots for the Show Secretary© program

Shown below are just a few of the main screens for the Show Secretary© program.

This is the Main Menu window for the program.  Each menu item has several options attached to them.

This window will allow you to enter names into the Mail File and associate them with one or more specialty clubs that might show with your show.  You enter the name; address; telephone number and e-mail address if desired and select a Club Affiliation. You may select one or more of these clubs which you pre enter and this will allow you to print mailing labels for selected clubs.

This window is used to enter Exhibitors into the program.  If you have names and addresses in the Mail File, you can Double Click on the name in the list box and fill in the number of birds at each cost and the amount they paid and click ADD. If the exhibitor isn't in the Mail File, just type in the information.  Later there is an option that will add this name to the Mail file for you for the next show.  Note the exhibitor number.  This goes on the exhibitor’s entry blank. As you add birds; sale cages; meals etc. the amount the exhibitor owes is constantly calculated. Later when you print a finance report for the show, the amount the exhibitor still owes or has overpaid will be shown.

This is the Breed Add window for Poultry.  The Pigeon section of the program does not have the class names. The breed names are required in order to enter the birds in the correct breed. Having the breeds set up this way allows for easier entries, printing of specific breeds and there is an option when you get ready for a new show and existing files must be deleted, the Breed name file may not be deleted and may be used over.

This window will let you enter birds into the show after you have entered the breeds you will use.  You select an Exhibitor, a Breed and then a Color.  If a Color isn't in the list box, you type a new one.  Enter a Band Number, Click an Age Sex designation and check if a Junior Entry. As enter a new color, it will be added to the bottom list box and be available for use. Since exhibitors often enter birds of the same color in order, when you add the bird to the file, the color used will be repeated. If you need to change the color, select an existing one or type a new one

This window will allow you to rearrange the breed list so that similar breeds are located next to each other or so that the breeds fit into the show hall better.  Double Click a breed name and use the up and down arrow to move it around.  When the coop numbers are assigned, they will be assigned in this order. When you click the Change button the list will be revised. You may move as many of the breeds around as you want then click the change button.

This is the window that is used to assign coop numbers.  First you enter a starting coop number then you select any breeds that you want sorted by exhibitor.  This will sort those breeds first by exhibitor, then assign coop numbers then sort by the largest color class, then age and sex.  This is very often used for Fantails and Jacobins where the exhibitors want all their birds located in contiguous coops. The remaining breeds will be sorted in the traditional way, which is sorted by the largest color class, then age and sex then have coop numbers assigned.  There is also an option to sort the birds alphabetically by color as well. If you sort Alphabetically by Color or by Age and Sex, you cannot sort certain breeds by exhibitor.

This is the window for the Print Show option. When you print the Judging Sheets, you will have the option of printing a cover sheet; including the exhibitor’s names on the cover sheet and/or the judging sheets; and including the junior entries with the main show entries.

You may also print separate judging sheets for just the junior entries.

This is the main window for the Show Report section.  This option will allow you to place all birds by 1, 2, 3 etc. and along with a premium amount for each place, you can print a report that will show how much each exhibitor has won.  Or you can just give each bird a win title they have earned.  A report can then be printed for each breed or each exhibitor showing those win titles.
