Sorry I Spelt Pigeon wrong. Alf R

When I was in Bowness, Windermere I spotted SU 07 F 2164 with 2 rubber rings enjoying its self amongst the Swans, Ducks and Tumblers. The date was June 9th 2008 I hope he has now gone home! Cheers, Alf Rothwell

The funeral for John E Brown will be held in St Matthews Church, Silksworth, Sunderland on Saturday February 9th at 12 Noon and tea etc; at North Biddick WMC in Fatfield. Alf Rothwell

SAD NEWS, JOHN E BROWN, LIFE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE NEHU, DIED TONIGHT. MORE NEWS LATER. Alf Rothwell

I repeat the UNC have not got individual membership. I suggest you also add up the clubs stated on page 11 and it does not add up to 142 clubs. In my opinion the statement made is a rough guide. You will also note that Whitley Bay 4 Bird club is listed and it folded approx; 4 to 5 years ago. I am not knocking you just stating some facts. Alf R

I thought it was a trick question!! As the only members of the UNC are FEDERATIONS!! Alf R

What a Shock! Had he been ill? I have had some great times with him at "Scotlands Own" and some of the Major Shows. Him and I stayed at Noel Higginsons house in Northern Ireland a few years back and he kept everyone in great humour. A great Scribe for the "RP" and one of the true characters of our sport. R.I.P. Ian and sincere condolences to Tiger Ann

I think Eastbourne would be a good race for you I think it would be around 400 miles to Edinburgh as it is 305 to Whitley Bay. Just a thought!! Alf R

Congratulations Paulo, I will be watching out for you when I visit Ushaw Moor. Alf R

Jack's funeral will be on Friday Feb 2 at the Baptist Church, Redcar Road, South Bank at 1:15pm.

I am sad to report that Jack Ayres of Redcar died last night aged 83 after a long illness. Jack used to write for the BHW under the name of Langbaurgh. More info later. Alf Rothwell

I was very sorry to hear about Bobby's death. I met him on a number of occassions, we were on a panel at Blackpool a few years ago and met him at Scotlands on on various moots etc. He was a great guy and a wonderful pigeon man. Sincere condolences to his family. Alf Rothwell

I dealt with them as secretary of the NEHU as we purchased our leg rings from every year. Very nice people. Alf R

I am sure Vic Taylor of Sherfin corn used it on the PEANUT POWER he sold over 30 years ago. I hace also heard of people using it but had trouble regarding it going sour. It must be good stuff if fed at the right time. I can also remember Fred Parkinson of Ushaw Moor giving his birds Goats Milk in the drinker. Don't ask me what kind of goat as it was over 40 years ago. I definately know it was not called Billy.

Paul, I get it my arm every couple of months and the wife cannot get me down from the roof. Good Stuff Cytacon I used it for years for the birds but preffered Chevita Multivitam B12 on a thursday night. Cheers Alf Rothwell
