The club members and friends got together for there annual panel/dinner evening on 12th February in the Avonbridge Hotel, Hamilton. This year the guests for the panel were this year’s club Champion loft, Billy Gordon of Cambuslang and SNFC sensation Billy Bilsland of Ayton.
Both complemented each other very well, two different environments but both with top performances at the SNFC.

The night was started with the usual top class three course meal before the panel spent time taking questions from the floor about their pigeon husbandry and providing the information that makes them so successful in their chosen sport.
I must say the lads done brilliant answering every question delivered from the floor in an honest manner, giving the audience some top class advice.
Thanks lads.
Club president Ronnie Reid was on his usual top form and Secretary Dave McCaig had everything down to a fine art.
The club provides some of the best competition going and continues to flourish in membership with new members received this year.
These nights are very much on the social calendar and are so much what the club is all about.
Part of the night was to have the draw for this year’s young bird exchange for members.
