West Durham amalgation transportation fund.
A young bird sale will be held in early April in aid of raising funds.
The sale will most probably be run on the Vale of Derwent face book page
With the view the birds on offer will be ready during the month of May which gives the fanciers who are supporting the sale a chance to get all their own youngsters off first and offer something very special for the wda sale.If any of the youngsters are going to be ready any earlier it will be stated at the time along With details of birds on offer.I have personally spoken to all lofts
