🚚 SNFC New Transporter Fundraising Appeal

Supporting the Future of Our Club & the Welfare of Our Birds

Message from SNFC President Michael Currie
In 2025 and again as we head in to the 2026 season, the club has faced major transportation challenges, causing me many sleepless nights. We are deeply grateful to Geraldy (Germany) for the hire of their transporter for a second season.  Many thanks also go to Ayrshire Federation, Solway Federation, and Central Federation for stepping in when we needed transport support. 

To secure long‑term stability and ensure the highest standards of bird welfare, the SNFC has committed to purchasing a transporter with a new purpose‑built container for the 2027 season.

This new container will include:

  • Feeding access on both sides of the crates
  • 24/7 water supply at the rear
  • Air conditioning
  • Full lighting system
  • Watering systems
  • Electric shutters & more…

This investment is essential for the future of the club and the safety and comfort of our pigeons.
