Cumbria Combine fanciers trophy presentation

The Cumbria Combine held seven races in 2021 and the winners came from all parts of the county.

Those successful fanciers have been presented with their trophies by the Combine president Lawrie Silverwood at a meeting in the Union Jack Club, Workington.

Unfortunately two of the longest-travelling winners Alan Johnson and Ron Lilleby, both from Barrow, could not attend the presentation.

Alan had won the Combine from Weymouth while Ron was to receive a gold award for the performance of one of his birds which had achieved five top 20 Combine positions.
