thats a very nice gesture.are you talking to me sb.

so far i have found 2 local fanciers are there anymore in bassaleg and the surrounding areas.

got loads to do,loft is arriving friday but i have to assemble it myself,i will not be ready to receive the birds offered untill loft is fully equipped.i will pm fanciers who have offered.i really do appreciate your offers.

hi tariq.was wondering where the nearest club was, the clubs in risca,x-keys are no longer there,so i was going to approach a newport club.what club do you fly with.

hi tim.would love to have them.spent rather a lot of money on loft and all help is appreciated.

yep.it is a silver vauxhall zafira 1.9 di which i use as a taxi.i work for high x cars which is in rogerstone.

i have two,a mazda 5(blue) and a vauxhall zafira(silver).

dont live in a flat,live in a four bedroomed house with a huge garden with a nice loft in it hopefully come friday.my father did used to race pigeons under the name of "gingell bros"his club which has now dispanded was called risca hs.i was a lad when he had his pigeons but i was always facinated by them.i do have a limited knowledge of pigeons,im hoping to expand my knowledge of them on this website.when he gave his pigeons away he kept all the drinkers,feeders,baskets and clocks so i have a pretty good start,but i still need loads of advice off established fanciers who want to give it.

what is his name,i think that he may live 2 streets over from me,seen his birds out flying.

i am a fancier coming back to the sport after 20 years,i am looking for a suitable shed to use as a pigeon loft.willing to dismantle and collect.all help is appreciated.paul

hi.let me introduce myself,my name is paul. i am coming back to the sport after 20 years being away.got a wife,five kids,dog etc and the only thing missing is my pigeons.as a lad i had a team of around 30(old)and (25 young)had to keep it small as mum and dad used to foot the bills.i lost interest when i met my first girlfriend,you know the deal.i made my mark quite a few times at club level.i was shocked to learn that the sport has declined quite a bit over the years,but rest assured there is another fancier coming back into the fold.first order of the day is a loft,i have a huge garden but limited space.i was thinking of a L shaped loft,but cant decide to build or buy.any advice on anything is welcomed.regards paul.

hello.i am coming back into the sport after 20 years away,i am in the process of securing a shed for my birds(which i do not have yet).i kept pigeons as a lad with my father who has since left the sport.as soon as i became interested in a different kind of bird,my interest left.but now five kids futher on, a wife and dog i have dedcided that this is the only thing missing from my life.as a lad i made my mark on the pigeon world at club level quite a few times.i really enjoyed myself.i live in south wales just outside newport in a small town called rogerstone.any tips, advice on all subjects would be greatly appreciated.my first job,a shed to build or buy.what are the pro,s and cons.paul
