WELCOME TO  THE HUNTER VALLEY FINCH CLUB INC

The Club was formed on the 1st of June 2001 as a way to bring together anyone interested in keeping and breeding all types of Finches and to exchange information with individuals, groups or other clubs.

VISITORS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME AT  OUR MEETINGS.

The Office Bearers and members of the Hunter Finch Club Inc wish to thank all those buyers, sellers and trade stalls that attended the October 2017, 2018 and 2019 sales, and helped make them a success.
