was in a partnership a few years ago, took all my birds with me,which were succesful for me everything was fine at 1st, i would spend hours on end in my garage making new boxs for there lofts,after a couple of years and looking at empty lofts on my own back garden i decided i would go on my own again, bringing only 6 stock pairs with me,now the best part,when i did apply to join the same club,they went around the members saying if they let me back in they would finish so i withdrew my aplication, oh, and i forgot to say one was my brother in law, do what you think best mate but if you want to remain good friends, stay on your own, jmo
