Another chap Richard Quibell, his old loft if i remember rightly was swayed such an angle it looked as though one blow and it would be down, that man took some beating in his area and is always prominent on the NRCC result - I am not sure if that loft still stands though.

Have you tried www.preloved.com , often see such birds on there

Without doubt, just been trying to make the pedigrees clearer but it isnt happening.

I really hope Debbie manages to confirm my collections as one of the chaps is steaming and im taking the brunt of it, i tried calling but couldnt get through, but if the phone line is down thats understandable. As far as im aware she is doing my Portsmouth and London run today (fingers crossed)

The top two pictures of 'Charity' and 'Diamond Geezer' were done professionaly after they had won their respective races, all other photos are done by Russ on his mobile phone.

Russ and Denise have asked me to conduct an auction on their behalf as with being very much small team flyers they have found themselves overstocked by 11 pigeons after removing what they consider not good enough for themselves and therefore not got enough for anyone else. The 11 birds comprise of several birds from the family they have built up with great success as well as several of the new introductions they have made over the last 2 years including Staf Van Reets and also the Van de rhee pigeons, they also introduced a third family however these failed to live up to expectations so have been removed from the lofts permanetly. If it is fancy strain names you wish to purchase then these are maybe not the birds for you, if its birds from a winning family then these maybe ideal. All the birds are up for absolute auction and the winning bidder shall be the high bid at the close of sale which will be Monday evening at 9pm - No bids after this time will be accepted. Russ and Denise have been succesful from the off racing in their own right for i believe 12-13 seasons now, previous to which Russ raced succesfully with his father. They have tasted success in the North Road Championship on three premier occasions namely 1st Section NRCC Lerwick 498 Miles with 'Faith' - Faith beat her own daughter into 2nd Section (Hope) 1st Section, 1st Open NRCC Perth 276 Miles with 'Charity' who is a daughter of 'Hope' (see above) 1st Section, 1st Open NRCC Thurso 412 Miles with 'Diamond Geezer' As well as these performances they have been consistent in this competition for many years from the first race to the last. More details are available on the pedigree's as listed below. Please note, bids by PM will be accepted however failure to honour any bid will be reported to Admin. None of the birds have been picked off before the sale, i myself have interest in at least two lots but i will only bid for myself on the open thread to keep things fair for everyone,furthermore a donation will be made after the sale to either the Phoebe fund or the site fund.

Its not the loft but whats in it. The late Jake Cotterill won a very nice posh loft and gave his original loft away to a friend just down the lane, he always said to me that was one of if not the biggest mistake he ever made with his birds.

;D

Over what

second that mate lol

Welcome back Mike, and well done for the honesty - Certainly the best policy.

You will if you look hard enough lol It took my mate around 4 days to do both traps including painting, the traps were built to exact measurements and Spec as well.

I think so but then ive never seen his Dad ;D

It sounds a excellent cheap alternative to this overpriced plastic crap we have now. I am hoping the scraper gives many hours of work sorry enjoyment to him.

He aint having any for Christmas, he has just had his Birthday, has more toys than anything and would still rather play with the laptop mouse or an old mobile phone. No chance of me being on the bull box when the next one arrives in the next week (hopefully!) thats it, time for the snip - two cleaner outers is plenty for me!

I dont envy him Chick - We have all had it here, i have been a little more fortunate though, the only thing is the boy has been waking up nearly every hour through the night struggling. Least he aint out losing pigeons whilst hes in bed lol

What me or the birds ? ;D

Pictures as promised BWF If you need the dimensions i can PM them tomorrow however the trap has basically been built for the Bricon 4 field pad, so you may want the size to reflect the size of your own pads. Outside of the Loft, both the traps we have for the Young bird ETS sections. Outside of trap including side view Front view of Trap - Closed Front view of trap with cover off. Close up view of the inside of trap - False floor in place (trap sits underneath) Close up of inside trap with flase floor raised for Illistration purposes - Note bob wires sit at the back after clocking. This is the view of the trap from inside the clocking section. This is basically what the birds see when they go through the bob wires (excuse the mess in the section it WIP. Hope these help

If you come online - Empty your PM box, I cant afford the cost of the Text message :'(

If a certain someone who give me the cock to pair to her (Hi Phil) I would take her for sure. 146 - I dont think i have never had that many, i wouldnt be able to sleep at night knowing there was 146 x pigeon poo to clean each day. I would get some on here before people are paired up - I couldnt afford to feed that many, so think of the money you would save and also think of the fact that those you sell will help fund your feed, club fees, entry fees, medication, etc and still enough left to get drunk on a Saturday night

Birds are a credit to you Gaz, but then from looking at your website, seeing your online show enteries and talking nothing less than i expected from your loft. Good luck with the sale.

think from the ring he is 2003

Thanks Pete never knew you held me in such high regard - The list is endless lol :P :P

You did and i found an excellent article on it also but to be honest i just cant be bothered to do them myself
