Sadly Tommy Whitton a former member of Lemington Social Homing Society sadly passed away yesterday after a long battle with poor health. Tommy was one of the most genuine guys you were likely to meet ,he would help anyone.Although he gave the pigeons up a few years ago he was still willing to help the members and ran the club bonus ball..He will be greatly missed for his sense of humour and his contributions to the club.Our thoughts are with his wife Pat and the rest of Toms family,we are eternally grateful for having Tom as part of our lives and he will be sadly missed.

Just been talking to Dave at Durham combine, they have delayed their Saturday race due to a poor weather forecast, the knock on effect of that is the wagon won’t be back until Sunday evening so the Gien race birds will now be despatched on Monday for a proposed liberation on Thursday 30 th July
The birds need to be at Crook garage for 6.15 on Monday evening so once I speak to Peter I will post pick up times

Alan Brown

The original plan was to have the birds collected and back to the garage for 4.00 on Sunday, however this will depend upon and delays to Saturdays race ,so I will update as things become clearer
