Seamus auction result

As promised the result of the auction held in the Sarsfied R.P.C. on the 19th of April 2010

 

Right folks here we go with the result of what turned out to be one of the best auctions we have ever had in the club.

The pigeon men and women who turned up made it quite a special night and made us all proud to be involved with this sport of ours.

 

Once again thanks to all who donated both pigeons and cash to this most deserving of causes. Thanks also goes to all the companies who gave us prizes for the raffle where we raised 1500 euro alone.

 

A report will be going to the BHW very soon but these are the prices paid for each lot in euros
