Today I had the pleasant task of visiting Trevor to present him with the Major L Lewis MBE Memorial Trophy .

This trophy belongs to the Confederation of Long Distance Racing Pigeon Unions of Great Britain and Ireland ,it is given to each union in turn to award a fancier for his involvement with racing pigeons . This year is the N.E,H.U turn to have the trophy and at Tuesday nights General Purpose and Finance Committee it was unanimously agreed to award it to Trevor

Trevor has been secretary for Cockfield and District Federation since 1962 ,into his 55th year , he also told me that Cockfield Federation had only ever had 2 secretaries ,himself and Harry Dowson who educated Trevor into how to be a Federation secretary.

Trevor was delighted to receive the trophy and tells me that due to ongoing health problems the Federation will need to find a new secretary soon , wonder if the next one lasts 55 years ?

A fully deserved award ,well done Trevor.
