They are not sentences—they're names of clubs. 10622j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 , and you'll see that 'Pigeon' is the word to use. A Racing Pigeons Club would be a club for pigeons – not the people who race them.

These are phrases, not sentences.

In English, attributive nouns are usually singular. Thus we would usually say "racing pigeon club". It should have capitals only if part of a proper name.
