As you know Alan i have been friends with the Cook family for well on 25 years and had some fantastic pigeons from them. Starting with the janssens that did some winning for us as well as the Jan Aardens .The sire of our fantastic cock Jumbo came form Tumley
I picked up a pigeon at Blackpool that i bought from them off one of the top pair and well pleased with it.
Top class people always willing to help you
George will have to sign off as i have to get my beauty sleep before i pick up my fellow member of the adonis club and set off for Blackpool in the morning. LOL
