2009 Young Bird Derby at the Paulsen's

   The real Paulsen's relaxing away from the Derby loft. Doreen's clam chowder was a major hit once again and passed on to Dori Goodchild for the Edmonton derby and made for the Merriman's derby too.  Recipe available on request.

Sorry we do not have a picture of the winning bird but we do send out congratulations to CU 16223  owned by K. Snider.  We also thank everyone that attended and also those of you that assisted Bob and I with the derby food, the cleaning, and training of the birds.  We did have a very good derby and sure thank all of you that helped make it so.  Your kind comments make the effort very worth while.  Hope we have another one left in us.  Until next time.  The Paulsen's in the beautiful Blenkinsop Valley.  Come by and visit some time.  Coffee is always on.  Phone ahead please. 250 - 477-5639.

 IN MEMORY:

  Our club is sorry to announce that one of our oldest and most hard working member has passed on.  George Muldrew will not be remembered by the races he won or the trohies he accepted but will forever be remembered for being there when needed and for the hours of work he and wife Pat put into the club.  Be it a work party or food prep for our awards night, he was always there with Pat in full support.  George has been an non flying,honourary member of the club for the past few years and will be in our thougts for his years of devotion to the sport and our club.  Thanks George.
