BIG THANK YOU TO ALAN BROWN

I would like to say a BIG thank you to Alan Brown for the help and support he has given me during his time as President of the West Durham Amalgamation, Last nights presentation was all his own work, All I had to do was turn up with the cheques and a few raffle prizes, Thanks also to Norma Brown and Tommy Todd for the elbow action cleaning all the cups, Chris Batty and Grandson Luke for selling the raffle tickets
I think Alan will agree last nights turn out made the seasons hard work worth while, It was a good night among good friends, Good to see Frankie Armstrong enjoying himself, I thought we were becoming really close friends until I remembered I owed him £16, he makes me laugh, thats what its all about, enjoying yourself
Ian Stafford and Harry Wilson enjoyed their night out presenting the prizes, Ian because he knows where he belongs and Harry because we know where he belongs, Harry has been a stalwart of the WDA for years, He among others are who made the WDA what it is today, a well respected organisation in the pigeon world, All the present officials and staff will work hard on behalf of the members to keep it that way

On a more SOBER subject, The proposals are in for the Pre-AGM, You all need to attend your club meetings, have your say and have your vote, DO NOT let the few dominate the many, The Chairman of the meeting is there to listen to all his members views, wether he agrees with them or not, its a position of respect and authority.

The Pre-AGM will fly over until we get to YBs, will it be NORTH/SOUTH, EAST /WEST, ALL TOGETHER/GROUPS, WEATHERBY/WAKEFIELD, Will 13a/13b be back in, Will the come back race be back on, The mind boggles, I could go in the bar and watch the football while they decide but the match only lasts about 2 hours, Thankfully the club shuts at 11pm, watch this space but do not hold your breath
