Established 1894
The second of the two young bird sales will be held on Sunday 3rd May 2009 in the Greengairs Social Club Greengairs by Airdrie birds on view from 3pm with the sale starting at 4pm, there is a bar available in the social club where you can meet up with old friends and have a chat about ‘Doo’s’. I think this is a bank holiday week end and in some places a public holiday on the Monday, so a good excuse to have a day out at this sale and relax amongst friends and more importantly top quality long distance men from the cream of Scottish lofts. I have gone over last years SNFC results just to let you observe the quality of fanciers who have donated birds to this sale; believe me you will not get any better than the quality donated to these 2 SNFC young bird sales. Please take time and read the performances of each donor and dwell on the consistency achieved in every SNFC race.

I have taken these results from the data I have on the SNFC racing, there may be a mistake here or there and if so I apologise; however the main purpose of the exercise was to let you the reader see the quality of pigeon fanciers who are donating a youngster to Sale 2. One thing is for certain you could not wish for a better group of fanciers they are definitely the Foremost Group of top distance men in Scotland by a mile.
Check the adverts in both the BHW & RP in 10th April 2009 issues; Don’t miss out and please keep a note of the date and time of the sale, as this is YOUR chance in a life time to purchase quality pigeons from the Cream of distance fanciers within the greatest club in the land the Scottish National Flying Club. Commission bids can be forwarded to Andrew McKee on 01236 842337 or Secretary Andrew Garven on 01236 830253
Everything is geared up for the new season; with an increase of membership this year; up by 70 new members. If you have not forwarded your subscription then don’t delay as once the club racing starts you will forget all about it until it is too late. You will never be known as a SNFC winner you have got to be IN IT – TO WIN IT; so the saying goes.
