Update INFC Hall of Fame Diploma etc –

The 2025 racing season will be one to look forward to after a record number of awards were achieved racing in 2024 a massive 26 Merit Awards for birds making the Kings Cup prize list on two occasions and no less than eight birds achieving Hall of Fame Diploma status for three times in the Kings Cup prize list. There will be at least 26 birds available for the Hall of Fame test while a record number of 8 will be available to compete for a Gold Medal for four times in the Kings Cup prizes. Ronnie Johnston proposed the Hall of Fame Diploma, and it was first won in 1970 and then Homer proposed the Gold Medal and it was first won in 1982 with two individual winners and it looked then as if it was going to be easy. It was another 10 years before we had the next winner and just 15 have been won up to date. The INFC History Section on pigeonnetwork.com is being updated and its worth keeping an eye on for updates and changes. Hall of Fame winners in 2024 were as follows.

E Murtagh & Sons Individual North won the Hall of Fame Diploma and the Joe Doheny Cup for the Single bird Challenge & L’Murt the Hall of Fame winner for E Murtagh & Sons.
