LANARKSHIRE FEDERATION
Clarkston & Dist, Lanarkshire Federation,
Presentation Night season 2015
The club membership attended the local Easter Moffat Golf club(Cracking venue) on 4th March for their annual presentation.
This years guest was Jim Wilkinson of neighbour club Airdrie District.Jim is a Champion racer at Federation and National level and we are very thankful for his attendance.
It was a great night with a lovely meal and members having a good night talking pigeons,well maybe not all pigeons
Its great to see my club progress each year,fast becoming one of the biggest clubs in the federation with ,twenty two racing lofts.
Next season will be even more competitive.
It was great to see so many of the new members supporting the night and they were welcomed into the club by present members..
Club secretary Dave Muir has done a fine job throughout the year and we thank him for his service.
Thanks to all who attended and supported the club it really was just enough with everyone having a great night of chat.
There was a great buzz around the tables,when there isnt music to distract the conversation.
We had this years first Breeder/Buyer draw which always creates a bit of banter for best performance Appleby 2 race with £80 each .
And with other new projects for the membership ,like the £1 one bird nom winning a bag of race mixture each of the 19 races ,everyone has a chance.
Clarkston is moving in the right direction.
Owe and the night was free to all including the first drink.
The Champion loft for 2016 was Tom Corrie Son G/son who had a terrific season at club and federation level including 1st Open Lanarkshire Federation Portsmouth. Well done Tom.
