"Honest Lass" The property of Mr J. Wallace, Ayr. 1st Open Scottish National Flying Club Avranches, 1977. Within three weeks the S.N.F.C. Avranches race was won by Jock Wallace of Ayr a mere 2 or 3 miles from the Mossblown Lofts of R.L.Whyte. It was a proud Jock whom I interviewed after his success and a tribute to his Mealy Cock "Honest Man" who was grand-sire of his Red Chequer Hen "Honest Lass" which beat 4,927 entries, 1229 velocity. Now living in Stewarton, Matt White & Son won the 1980 Rennes race with a Mealy Hen he named "Scotch Queen" and was the only West Section pigeon on the night. Matt had another first, i.e., on Colour Breeding, he bred the unique family of Barless Blues which caused quite a stir with those who studied genetics at that time. S.N.F.C. Sartilly (No.1) in 1992 was won by Joe Murphy & Son of Fife. Joe scribed for the B.H.W. for a few years and when the official result was known duly congratulated Stewart Divett of Stewarton who was 1st Section, 2nd Open. This was a Blue Cock bred from a pair of birds his wife purchased from Jim Paterson as a Christmas present for Stewart. Six years have now passed since we have managed a Region winner from the Nationals. Perhaps this reflects on the decline in membership which is across the sport in the U.K. but in particular here in the West of Scotland. Lets hope the stalwarts who keep sending hit the jackpot ere long with one of their Brave-Heart pigeons. The A.R.B. Trophy is akin to the football Sportsman of the Year Award. It is a lovely silver salver put up in memory of that great lady of our sport Anne Ross Bowes who was first and foremost a top fancier who wrote a column for the British Homing World. To win this award you have to be nominated and a panel of Top fanciers then judge the nominees by their race performances, what they have done on the administration side or simply someone who works away in the background in other words a fancier who has put something into the sport. In 1981 yours truly was the choice of the panel of judges possibly via performances and bringing the sport to the fancy through my weekly articles in "The Racing Pigeon". Whatever it was it gave me great pleasure as I looked on this award as something the fancy thought of the recipient, to date the youngest person to win this award.

does this make sense.What is remarkable about the racing pigeon is its ability to select the height in the sky at which to race home. When racing into a head wind you may have seen the exhilarating sight of a batch of racing pigeons flying low, hedge hopping, trying to gain an advantage by sheltering from the on coming wind. You may have seen them on race days skimming up over the tree tops and then descending back down to just a few feet above ground level. However there is the serious risk of injury when pigeons race very low and near to obstacles at speed. In this situation pigeons at the rear of large batches will have their view restricted by those directly in front and as a consequence collision with an on coming obstruction is a good possibility. The leading birds will see wires or trees, and rise up over them; where as those at the rear will have little time to dive upwards in an attempt to miss the obstacle. When these conditions prevail our birds sometimes return with broken legs or skinned breast bones. Sadly on occasions they will fail to return at all.

is this worth taking a chance on.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LARGE-WOODEN-PIGEON-LOFT-DOG-KENNEL-SHED-TILED-ROOF_W0QQitemZ120502263945QQihZ002QQcategoryZ139956QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26ps%3D6
