The John Carrigan lounge/Restaurant in Hamilton was the venue for this years presentation. A stylish building with plenty of character for such a night.

Our main guest Billy Bilsland of Ayton the Champion racer of SNFC & SNRP races, was asked by the committee to present this years winners.

Our entertainment for the night was Mark Findlay of the Lindsay & Findlay partnership. These guys won the SNFC inland National 2016 into Ayrshire. Mark himself was 2nd Open SNFC, not to long ago as well. So a talented man who is a cracking entertainer and singer. I can see how he is always booked up.

The committee would like to thanks these fanciers for their time and also to John Quinn who had everything working like clockwork, his organisation and professionalism of the trophies and night. Thanks John.

President Dave McCaig and Jim Cullen provided some nice words and banter that those present enjoyed which is always a nice touch for the winners.

This years Champion loft is no other than the brilliant GWP Macaloney of Airdrie Dist club, who just keep breaking their own records.

Winning twelve trophies in the largest federation in the British Isles.

In my opinion there is no better.

Congratulations lads.

The committee would like to thank all members who took the time to attend and we hoped you enjoyed your night.

A choice of the cracking dinner you missed
