Speight, came across Fit to Win 1 in the local library. Found it pretty difficult to read because there are bits and pieces on the same subject scattered through the book. Could also do with a lot more pictures / illustrations, or a CD. Westy, came a cropper at the local bookshop - couldn't trace Colin Walker's book, reckoned small publisher / limited distribution!!!  Bit of a business practice rip-off really, just fixes the price - higher. Boddy & Ridewood looking for £40, post paid. Probably try their website. Does anyone else feel that the club should have a small library holding a selection of these type of books - maybe supplied via Unions at cut-price? |

Your local library can get any book for you if you know the author and title or the ISBN number. It costs something like £0.50 to order a book and you can keep renewing it until someone else requests it. A good way to look at a book and see if it's worth buying!  |

Craig has already put a mail on the South African Pigeon Mailing list regarding a copy of the book for you and himself.
I got mine from Jac the Man when he visited us 4 years ago.
