Dennis Ford wins hard South ROAD TOURS National Not many birds home last night Pontypridd had 8 home from 135 Approx 345 miles

I went to LIER Market in March this year on the Sunday after the Holland Show in our coach,it has moved now down one of the streets by the river,like everyone else we went and had a look at the pigeons there were a lot of old pigeons this year and y/bs for sale, most of the pigeons were 45 euro, after 10 minutes we went for a beer 10am and watched what was going on, there must have been at least 25 UK Coaches parked up, 3 were from South Wales,UK fancers with baskets full of birds we could not believe it and we told them so, the best part was the wives sat out side the pub with the faces looking like a smacked *expletive removed*, who takes the wives on a pigeon trip,they should have seen the film grand slam, Dont blame the Welsh just look at your own club.

Get the boys in the club to order a pallet load and BRIAN at GEM will send it free and trade
