It is probably as true of pigeon racing as of any other sport that, once one has taken up the hobby, one never leaves it. The saying, ‘once a fancier - always a fancier’ is not without foundation. It is also fair to say that those fanciers who put most into it, receive the most satisfaction from the sport, and the most pleasure in return, for it is generally managed and run by the fanciers themselves, who put in hundreds of hours of voluntary work. Although club secretaries are paid an honorarium, the money they do receive is in no way comparable to the amount of work they do. Therefore the new fancier should be prepared to help with the general running of his club in every way he can. He should be willing to lend a hand at marking and clock-setting, in fact for instance, he thinks that the result of a race has been wrongly calculated, and that he has been given too low a position on the race-sheet, he should approach the secretary quietly with his problem. This gentleman will then be only too pleased to investigate the matter, and you can rest assured that he will not have made an error on purpose. No fancier should be afraid of voicing his opinion at club and Federation meetings, but once a resolution has been passed by the majority of the members, he should cheerfully accept that decision. There are many fanciers who rarely succeed in winning a race. These men, nevertheless, are the backbone of the fancy. They are often cheerful and diligent workers for the sport in general and for their own club in particular. These fanciers continue to fly pigeons throughout their lives not for the money, which they might one day win, but for the love of their birds, the thrill of seeing them return from a race, and for the comradeship and companionship of their fellow members.

Vander Espt had founded his own strain with pigeons of master Theo Vandevelde where he was at home. He exchanged also pigeons on a regular base with Oscar Devriendt of Moere and his fellow-villagers the Cattrysse Brothers. It is known that Vander Espt had a very good line of pale and red pigeons (a.o. the Karel of Oscar Devriendt, 1 nat. Libourne). This red lines where reinforced with the introduction of some Bricoux and Horemans pigeons, directly or via Hector Desmet. It was out of this red line that Petri bought a proven champion, the Good Red, born in 1957. When he came to Hoepertingen, the Good Red had his age but he was still young enough to give excellent offspring.
