Members of the Pigeonbasics Forum have helped raise more than £3,000 in a recent online young bird auction. The money will be used to form a fund to help other pigeon fanciers that have been the victim of arson attack, or criminal damage towards lofts and other pigeon racing equipment.

The Pigeonbasics Fund is available to any fancier or organisation that has unfortunately fallen victim to an arson attack or criminal damage. Further details and application form are available at the fund webpages: http://www.pigeonbasics.com/fund/
