Last nights sale was an absolute success with 51 lots raising a £3,700. With donations from other fanciers as well as contributions from the City of Derry Fed, the 2014 Fed and the Derry Pigeon Show committee together with a raffle sponsored by the NCC and Harkins Feed Suppliers, the toal raised will be in excess of £6,000.A big thank you to New Kid On The Block for volunteering his services and keeping us well entertained. Thanks again to all the fanciers both locally and further afield for putting up young birds. Thanks also to the buyers who dug deep to support the sale and those individuals who made donations. Well done all. Thanks Pat.
