Got introduced to racing pigeons through the family visiting my late uncle who raced them when i was a schoolboy,and i caught the bug been hooked ever since ,love the buzz of pairing breeding and racing them ,the beauty of this hobby is you can take advice from others or just do your own thing ,get as excited on a race day as i did near on forty years ago the highs do compensate for the lows ,feeding time at this time of year even the weary ones are my best friends . the social side during the winter months are always a highlight to look forward to meeting new friends from all walks of life from millionaires to working class joe bloggs like myself ,all in all a wonderful sport
