Roundo

Saturday I'll be ringing the 1st of my ybs plus one or two other jobs in and around the lofts. Then in the evening I'll be eagerly watching the closing stages of the Charity YB auction I'm running on Elimar for my sons U13 Football Team. Then Sunday I have my Club's AGM, so it looks like I'll miss the Old Firm game Colin.

Colin first contacted Myrtle Lofts in early 2004, where he decided to order a small selective team of young birds. These youngsters containing some of the very best bloodlines that we had to offer and will cross nicely with the other M & D Evans bloodlines he had already purchased from top fanciers like Mike Lycett from Rugeley and Graeme Warman from Doncaster. He has since returned and taken our advice in purchasing any youngster we have recommended. We have every confidence that Colin’s M & D Evans bloodlines will prove capable of breeding winners at all levels and have no hesitation in recommending them. M & D Evans, Myrtle Lofts.

I would just like to say a massive THANK YOU to the PB members that have kindly donated a young bird/s to the charity auction I'll be running early February. Your donations are very much appreciated and if I can ever return the favour just give me a shout. Details of the sale will appear soon in the BHW and also on the internet. Thanks again, Colin. PS. I'd also like the thank the fanciers who aren't PB members for their generosity.

Ordered floor grills lunchtime Monday and they arrived Wednesday morning. That has to be a 1st class service!!! Thanks again, Colin.

I've used their services a few times and never once (touch wood) had any trouble with them, but that's my local depot, so I can't speak for other ones. I could say the same about Amtrak when it was on the go, my depot was great but I'd heard horror stories about others.......just your luck. Colin.

Anderson is playing the darts of his life....long may it continue. Still a few good uns left in....will be very interesting. The Darts are great this time of the year

Well pleased with the gifts Santa left me this year.....the man done well Just goes to show when you've been a good boy all year

Hope you all have a fantastic day......don't eat too much turkey Got to keep some for Boxing Day

I wouldn't pay anymore than £50 for a yb to race. For breeding, well thats a different story. Colin.

Same here......Merry Christmas to all the members and the very best for 2011. Lets hope it's another good un!!!! All the best, Colin.

Eddie, Thanks very much for the comments....it was no problem at all letting you see the race birds and my setup, just wish it had been a bit warmer. I'm glad you like the two birds you got which I'm pretty sure will do the business for you. Remember the spring invitation still stands......you're more than welcome back through. All the best, Colin.

Sorry for the delay, but all three cocks were sold last night, but I was having problems with the website to update my posting. Cocks sold pending payment. Possibly one or two other cocks for sale in a few days.

To be honest, if I had the room I'd keep them all, but I've got far too many spare cocks, which are currently housed in one of my yb lofts. If they had been hens then I'd be laughing, but unfortunately you can't change their sex Colin.

Reduced - £40 each.

Lot 1 & 3 haven't been raced, only lightly trained. Lot 2 only had two races. Only for sale due to being overstocked with race cocks. Colin.

Cheers mate. Open to sensible offers!!!

Ian, Put me down for 1 yb from the stock loft.....Gaby Vandenabeele bloodlines. Colin Crowe, Edinburgh. Cheers m8 I did not notice you were not down Ian

I've still not received last weeks copy. I bet you this weeks will arrive before last weeks

That was one of the finest football performances I've ever seen. Me and my boys were looking forward to the game all weekend and we certainly weren't disappointed. Barca are by far the best club team in Europe by a mile or for that matter, the world. Ronaldo.....where was he? Jose's face was a picture Colin.

How did the 1st part go yesterday?
