Website up and running for season

I would like to take this opportunity to appeal to all clubs and club press officers (where appointed) that the Pigeon Craic Result Site - www.pigeoncraic.com/results - will be up and running for the new season ahead with a few changes, hopefully for the better and pleasing all that use it.

If you have not already joined please do so. Only club admins can post results. Please submit your result plus any relevant text on the top winning fancier and birds to the website plus myself, as soon as possible after race, for publication in the fancy press.

Please feel free to send any photos that you wish to have published. You can send pictures by email or by picture message on mobile phone.

Please note this website can show your past results that you have submitted with just a click of a button, there for all to view.

As official press officer for the NIPA (Sections C, D, F & G) I will endeavour to give maximum coverage through the fancy press and craic website to all club, section and open winners but your help is needed to make this a success.

I would also like to wish all fancier friends good health and enjoy your racing in the coming season.
