i think if we get down to the nitty gritty the powers that be ie: all the unions of the uk should put up some serious funds, for a high profile and sustained pr drive to recruit and educate not only the younger members of the public but also the older ones to.
if the older ones where more educated about this sport they may not be as reluctant to let ltttle junior build a pigeon loft in theire lovely back garden.

hi vic.
we as pigeon fanciers are what we are always striveing to improve, that is the (nature of the beast)
as for the price of pigeons they are worth what we want to pay for em whilst striveing to improve.
the cloth cap image is so self destructive as regards the public.its unbelievable.
i gotta be honest i nevers seen a pigeon flyer wearing a cloth cap at the kirkby marking station since old NAT THOMPSON, in the seventies.

think the pictorial done a 3 page spread a couple of years ago on marcellis and shown the pics of his base pair1 red 1 mealy 1 sion 1 jannssen.
