Ayrshire Federation Presentation Night
The last Saturday of March seen us make our way down to Kilmarnock for Ayrshire federation presentation.
Hugh Wallace,(Secretary) Ian Noble(President) and compere Mark Findlay welcomed myself Tom Corrie jnr, Andy Eadie and John Lawrie from Lanarkshire federation to be their guests and panel for the night.
The event was well supported and flowed well with Mark being an excellent compere and asking the panel about their time in the sport and their pigeon management.
It was a very enjoyable night with presentation of trophies, a very nice buffet, a raffle and sale of YBs.
The hospitality was excellent and the conduct for the question and answer sessions was top class.
