The WDA is holding a fantastic sale of 2025 late bred and early bred 2026 youngsters in aid of our Transporter Fund. Top lofts from all our Federations have pledged their support as well as several donations of youngsters from top winning UK lofts.
The sale will be run on our Official Facebook Page in October. Full details of the sale will be finalised shortly along with details of all Lots which will be published closer to the sale on both Facebook and the WDA website and in the British Homing World.
Members will know our transporter fleet needs a long overdue upgrade and we have already started the process. Our President is determined to have a more efficient vehicle fleet in place for the 2026 racing season. But we need the membership's full support to make it happen.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those fanciers who have so far pledged young birds. If any other members wish to get involved with the sale whether by offering youngsters or making a
donation to the transporter fund please get in touch.
For more information please contact the sale organisers-Bob McKie (07308236113), Kevin McKimm (07879471990) or Tony Twentyman (07932618033). Thank You

The result of the corn raffle was drawn earlier tonight using a number generator and the winning number was 80 which belonged to Kevin Mckimm
Thanks everyone for your support , the West Durham Amalgamation raised a total of £1160 with your support and this money will be used to help with the improvement and development of more economic transport and improved race crates.

Well done Kevin thanks for all your hard work. Big thanks to everyone who purchased tickets and helped support the WDA
