Australian Avian Products were the major sponsor of the Junior National race, won by the Wortho's from the Towradgi Homing Pigeon Club.

The fourth major sponsor the South Coast Pigeon Federation Inc would like to acknowledge from the 2025 season, is RMB Lawyers.
RMB Lawyers have been long-term sponsors of the South Coast Pigeon federation, with their generosity each year, allowing the federation to run smoothly, allowing members to fly their pigeons, week in, week out.
The committee would like to say a massive thankyou to Chris Sheppard and the team at RMB Lawyers Wollongong, and look forward to continuing our sponsorship into the 2026 season.
Attached is a photo of Chris Sheppard from RMB Lawyers, standing in front of his dad's loft, Jeff Sheppard.

‼️New Sponsor Alert‼️
Locked in for the 2026 South Coast Pigeon Federation-Juniors Competition, is David Gordon and his company Essential Grains & Minerals, located in St Mary's, Sydney. Dave's passion for seeing the sport grow through the Juniors competition, has expanded into the 2026 partnership, and his sponsorship of the Overall Point Score winner(s), at the end of the Juniors series.
With this in mind, Dave would like to inform all SCF, SPF, and Far South Coast flyers, that Essential Grains & Minerals will now be servicing the Illawarra area and surrounds, with the option of delivery, on a regular basis.
A little from Dave.
"Since commencing operations at Essential Grains & Minerals, a wide variety of individual grains and mixes have been added, to cater for every flyer's individual needs. No matter what grain, mineral, or healthcare need, we can source it for your feathered friends. Here at Essential Grain & Mineral, we are dedicated to supplying our customers with quality, and gaining customer satisfaction".

The third major sponsor the South Coast Pigeon Federation Inc would like to acknowledge from the 2025 season, is Woonona Petfood & Produce.
Throughout the 2025 season, Dennis and the team at Woonona Petfood & Produce jumped onboard to sponsor the SCF, by supplying JM Pigeon mix for the transporter, allowing our birds to be fed whilst on route to their liberation destination. Without the generous supply of pigeon mix each week, our season wouldn't have been possible.
The committee would like to say a massive thankyou to Dennis and the team, and look forward to continuing our sponsorship into the 2026 season.

The second major sponsor the South Coast Pigeon Federation would like to acknowledge from the 2025 season, is Warilla Bowls and Recreation Club.
Throughout the 2025 season, Warilla Bowls and Recreation Club hosted countless SCF events, committee meetings, and awards ceremonies, with catering to accompany each event.
Without the continued support from Warilla Bowls and Recreation Club, the SCF wouldn't have been able to host the Charity Fundraiser Night, raising critical funds for the Illawarra Health Network.
The South Coast Pigeon Federation committee would like to thank Adam Southwell and the Team at Warilla Bowls and Recreation Club, and hope to continue our sponsorship into 2026!

In combination with major prize winners, the SCF brought back the inclusion of a junior's competition, which was a major hit for the kids & parents involved. Next year is shaping up to be bigger and better than this year, with interest shown already. A special mention must be given to Australian Avian Products located in Melbourne, for their sponsorship of the SCF Junior National.
The Winners of the SCF Junior National were 'The Wortho's', flying with their grandfather, Graeme Worthington.

On a personal note, I'd personally like to thank the many Federation winners who allowed me the time to photograph their winning pigeon, and/or provide me with information of their bird, without any problem, making it possible to provide the wider pigeon community, with info and insights into our wonderful sport, here on the South Coast of NSW, THANKYOU!

Yours in Sport, Matt Nelson
