In 2006 the members of Pigeonbasics.com kindly donated 41 lots, which raised a grand total of £2,029. That money went in equal amounts (50:50) to British Pigeon Fanciers Medical Research and the development Pigeonbasics.com.The beneficiary for the 2007 auction, which will be the Pigeonbasics.com Fund.

It was noticed throughout this winter season that a new attack on pigeons, pigeon racing, and pigeon fanciers; attacks occurring almost weekly, devastating years of work put in by so many fanciers. The Pigeonbasics.com Fund has been setup this year to help pigeon fancier victims of arson, criminal damage on pigeon lofts, and on pigeon racing equipment. Help for the fanciers to re-establish themselves within our sport, and continue to participate racing pigeons.

And in order that all money is put quickly to good use; remaining funds after 12 months, will be donated to a good cause such as the beneficiaries of the auction in 2006.

Please visit the Pigeonbasics.com Fund web pages for more details.
