thanks for reply, thats a shame, it was like a smaller version of louella and some nice birds on sale, i understood at the time it was run by a trust fund left by the guy that owned weetabix, looks like the money ran out

can anyone tell me what became of the breeding stud at wellingborough of george and webb, i can remember visiting it about 30 years ago, think he had newslad and a few other big names

like the old gurnays

good kit, not many in the skies now, lovely to watch

pm sent

lovely looking birds, really like the blue pied van reet and the red pied, hope you breed some nice youngsters

we learnt over a long period of time, you can spend hundreds at top lofts, it wont buy success,some had hundreds of birds but probally only 6/7 cocks doing all the winning try to buy from someone packing up or a few youngsters off a successful fancier. Give them time and dont buy birds from all over the place, aim to create a family that is suited to the distance you want to fly

cracking birds, are they distance or sprint?

cocks usually easier than hens, once they breed at your loft they usually give up going back eventually

we tried these years back, got some from a graham mussel in hereford, beatifull blacks and bronzes but never any good, my dad raced these in the sixties, surely long gone now

sorted now thanks lads

phoned guy he has only westies left, tipplers sold

thanks for reply dsjohno will try them.

looking for tipplers in the midlands area, prints or grizzles
