Nos 3 gets my vote......what a cracker!!!

No 5 gets my vote

No 8 gets my vote

No 9 is a cracker, not the best picture, but still gets my vote.

Happy birthday Gary Hope you've had a great day? Alb, Colin

Yes it is, the full length, and with an overhang. I have since had all the electrics and lights installed, so it's full steam ahead. Alb, Colin.

What a great offer mate.......the birds have matured well. I'd have been happy to take these birds back if I'd seen it a bit earlier. The sire and dam of one of the pairs is actually my No1 Vandenabeele stock pair. They are responsible for multiple prize and Federation winners, in fact they have bred 5 x1st Fed winners for me. My best race cock will be a half brother to two of these birds........he has won loads of top Club & Fed prizes, also topping the Fed, plus this year he added another top prize to his collection......158th Open SNFC Ypres. These birds contain the best of my Vandenabeele bloodlines..........great offer and a very lucky fanciers getting these birds. Alb, Colin.

Hi Barry, No problem at all. He certainly looked like he was a fine looking stock cock. Think my youngest liked him because of the colour, better than my boring Blue's he said. Alb, Colin.

The strange thing about it, he didnt have a rubber ring on or an ETS ring. Where ever he has been he was certainly flown done.

Yesterday my youngest son and his pal picked up this pigeon when out playing. He was in a sorry state, in fact I was surprised it was still living. They sorted out some feeding and water for him, but unfortunately when I checked on him this morning he had passed away. My son had already arranged to feed and water him before he went to school in the morning, so you can imagine the disappointment on his face when I broke the news. I would just like to notify the owner of its whereabouts as he looked like he could be a favourite. Colin.

Well done Davie

Any that are in a 30 - 40 mile radius will be fine for me. I'm quite happy to travel for it as long as its worth the journey. Any of the Border guys know of any good farms?

I'm looking for any good farms near Edinburgh selling quality wheat and barley. Any contacts would be much appreciated. Cheers, Colin.

Well done, what an outstanding performance.......one of the best I've seen for a number of years. Alb, Colin.

Well done Steven and Tam......top flying guys!!!! You're birds have been coming great for you the past few weeks. Alb, Colin.

Top man!!!! Cheers, Colin.

Thanks for that. I've already had a few offers of help from members. Once again it just shows there are lots of good fanciers out there who are always willing to help. Thanks again guys. Colin

I have a young bird reported in the Newcastle area (Walker, NE6 3LF) by a non fancier. Are there any members that live near that could pick the bird up until I can make further arrangements? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Colin.

Cheers Scotty boy. They did come really well on Saturday, especially on a tricky day. Here's to my big mate Jumbo who bred my first bird over the pad.

Well done Henry........top bombing mate!!!! Come on the Winchburgh Boys

Well done Andy, what a great race you've had......that's the way to do it.

Well done Henry!!! The birds have had to work today, but returns are good on a tricky day. Made the right decision to lib later in the day.

Well done Andy, great result and a nice wee lift

Now that the inside is pretty much complete, I thought I'd let the members see some pictures I took the other day of the Ob & Yb sections. All the fittings were built and supplied by our very own Muttley, and fitted by my very own hands.......with a huge help from my dad. Cheers guys!!!!
