Attention Club Secretaries:

We are sending you this letter in hopes that you will remind the members of your club that the 2010 CU Convention Race --Hosted by the Lucan Homing Pigeon Club -- will be held in Stratford,ON. We recognize that many have been affected by the present economy slump. However, we'd like to suggest that you encourage your members to enter birds in this year's convention. We'd like to see each and every club represented. Whether as individuals or in partnerships. Some clubs may even want to enter as a club with any prize money going to the club.
Details are outlined on page 95 of your yearbook. The theme of this year's convention is romance. To enter or for more information, please contact Paul Finch at prfinch@yahoo.ca or call (519) 887-8188. Our website address is http://www.fly-rite.ca
