My own club, Clarkston & District, are holding a very special night for all those distance enthusiasts. A master class with the brilliant distance fancier Dave Elliot of Mr & Mrs Elliot of Newbiggin. He was this years Scottish National Flying Club , Blue Ribbon race WINNER, previously having won sections, golden awards and everything good in distance racing. He is simple the best of the best, a living legend of the sport!!! This night will take place on Friday 30th March, starting at 7 30pm sharp till late, the cost of this is nothing, yes nothing - so put the date in your diary's now!!. You will be learning from the best, nothing held back. He has prepared literature and facts that will make you think and he will answer any questions you wish to ask. Dave has been described by the best in the sport of someone with superior knowledge of our feathered friends. Honest, priceless knowledge that doesn't come along very often! All welcome to attend at Clarkston & District Pigeon Club , Ashgrove ,Craigneuk, Airdrie, refreshments available on he night!

The arrangements for johnny's funeral is Friday 24th February, 1pm, Mclarens funeral directors, Sunnyside Coatbridge, then onto Bedlaw cemetery , Moodiesburn.

Think it makes sense for all those going down that route to combine for the longest three races.

Sad news ,cracking guy Johnny and his brother Robert who I was privileged to meet and spent time over in their compound back in the 80s and often met Johnny at the open race marking and always maintained his enthusiasm for the sport . Johnny was always welcoming and never stopped working for the sport . RIP The Corries

The presentation night will take place this Friday 10th Feb in the Houldworth Bowling Club, Wishaw, 6 30PM for 7PM Tom Corrie Jnr Lanarkshie PO

Hopefully see you both at Lanarkshire presentation night on 10th February.

It would be much better for everyone not to get involved in slagging each other on forum. Both fanciers are excellent fanciers with multiple . Federation and National positions. Think the moderator should remove all non specific communication .
