Perfer the R.P. personally. Just started having them again... strangely enough simply because every so often a topic on here mentioned  one or the other, or both.
To be frank, I feel that the R.P. is more pigeon conscious and the BHW. more Advertiment and 'Name' endorsing. Yes of course 'Writers' have friends etc. but many, too many seem to think it is just a vessel to promote others, and themselves. Thankfully there are time to time some good articles written... most reposted 'Past' articles granted, but still of an interest I feel.


What's best for the birds... forget fanciers ego's!

Both for me,

BHW for the adverts.

RP for the write ups (and I am not just saying that as I am a scribe) - I mean the loft reports etc.

Was reading your article in Squills again tonight - Dave Allen 2008 - Very good article

I tend to agree about the comments - With the BHW i start on the letters page, then work from the back page.

With the RP i tend to read as a normal person would

Chris,who told you pigeon fanciers were normal I always thought they were a breed apart. BHW for me used to get 5 but like all things finances dictate and hate the politics.

Thanks Vallance, enjoyed doing the write up - Dave has an excellent knowledge of pigeons and pigeon racing in my opinion.

Never had rhe RP but i find the BHW is full of people writing about themselves and promoting there own pigeons instead of doing write up's and results.Also i notice a lot of results dont seem to get published until a certain fancier is in the cards or that just me being cynical?
I do like the adverts in the back and allways go there first though lol.
