What started out as 5 fanciers setting of on a journey to find alternative cheaper means of racing pigeons it ended in a spectacular year end function attended by almost 200 members of the public.

The was a very successful season in so much that only 14 mebers showed intrest at our first gathering and it ended up in 32 flying fanciers for 2010,including a junior division of 6 teams racing 2 birds per race totally free of charge and thus allowing WFHU to crown the first ever Junior champ, Butler Juniors, in our region.
