Any Club and individual donations are appreciated.

Bidding will begin April 15th, 2003. Bids will be accepted by Harold Ryan WC Promotions Director, by phone and email, and posted regularly on the WC website at www.worldcupfly.com until the closing deadline of 8pm CST April 26th (or until an item goes 2 hours without a bid after the closing time). Highest bidders will have 7 days to get a money order in the amount of the bid to Harold Ryan, before we will notify the donor the name of the winner, and to release the birds for shipping. The winner of the bid will be responsible for having a new shipping box shipped to the donor from a supplier (to prevent any contamination) and any shipping expenses to get the birds delivered. Birds from Canada will require a fairly small vet and import fee, and if Los Angeles still has a ban on shipping birds into and from that area, you may have to have them delivered to someone nearby.

More information, photo’s, & some pedigrees will be updated on these items as we get them on the new World Cup website at www.worldcupfly.com , so if you don’t have internet access, get with someone that does. A special thanks goes to the fanciers that are generously donating to this auction. I hope that everyone will find something that will help them improve their family of birds, or get a great start with something new. If you have questions or would like to know more about any items please drop me a line, email or phone call.
