Its great to get back to presentation nights! Full report with photos here
The Lanarkshire Social Circle is very much one of the premier clubs in Scotland with around 60 members sending over 1,000 birds in the early events
Its programme of racing includes the Lanarkshire Federation programme and into the distance events with the Scottish National Flying Club .
The clubs foundation is in distance racing and top competition always attracts fanciers in their numbers.
The club is competitive with around 60 members and over 1,000 birds sent in the earlier races, its very competitive and you have to be on the top of your game to win!
This season due to no channel racing the SNFC racing was focused on the coast and one race from the channel isles.
It was a brilliant season for the club members scoring high in the Scottish National Flying Club results including 1st Open for Eadie & Kelly.
There was a great turn out with members and friends of the club for this years presentation in the Avonbridge hotel in Hamilton.Club President Ronnie Reid introduced the evening introducing special guests John Hadfield & Peter Keogh,two top National men, both are at the top of their game at the moment!
The night flowed very well with the three course meal, presentation of cups and guest speaker John McKelvie with his comedy sketch.
Ronnie Reid and Jim Cullen had the hall in stitches of laughter, men in a white van going to Blackpool "hilarious"
With Ronnie and Jim in the company no one is safe from a bit of light hearted banter.
Big thanks to club secretary Davie McCaig for his usual professionalism and hard work throughout the year and a great night.
Thanks from the committee to the guests and all who attended.
Sorry I didn't catch all the tables for photos as I was slow in getting around the hall and by 12pm most had left. Always next time!
