Good reading ,See it mentioned the nantes race being won on a decimal with M Thorburn of Lockerbie coming second the same M Thorburn went on to win the Nantes race in 1934,He owned the Drapers shop in Lockerbie which was only two doors down from W T Gardiners Grocers the 1965 gold cup winners,Remember going into the shops as a young lad ,sadly they are now private housing and the great pigeon days are just memories,The photo of the snfc president Percy Cameron also brings back memories when percy was secretary of the lockerbie club he had me voted on as a young lad to be his president and taught me to hold a meeting together as he did when he held the post for many years.
