The NW Combine are at Messac, the replacement Nantes site, some forty odd miles shorter for me, than Nantes. This is now approaching pigeon racing at its best. I only hope that the Combine will never buckle in to some of the sprinters that want comeback racing. I have eight, all right weight, not past their sell by date. Just can't wait, Won't be late. But everything's down to fate! Ain't it mate! lol.

An old mate of mine, from years gone by, GOD BLESS HIM! Won the section (Northern, I think) twice, flying into Liverpool from well over 800 miles. He was a fellow plumber, who was respected by all. His name was Mick Mullarkey. Sometimes I get the impression, that he is behind me, on the pc, when distance racing comes up. A really great guy! Another great distance guy was the alderman Tom Burton from Liverpool, who when we were kids of 15 years old, would phone him from a near by telephone kiosk out side my house, enquring about early times in some gruelling channel races. And he never once, failed to respond. Different game in them days.
