JSTOON Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Barney Rhodes of Castleford, one of our areas top flyers will shortly be holding a phone in sale which will be advertised in the British Homing World over the coming weeks. All the proceeds of the sale will go to the Prince Of Wales Hospice at Pontefract. I have come from Barneys today and viewed the birds which he will be selling which totals around 30/40 birds, all of which are out of this world all priced at either £25-00/ or £35-00 each he hasnt decided which price yet. If anybody knows Barney like i do, then they too will know just how much Barney has spent on obtaing the very best, not just from this country but Holland and Belgium too. If it wasnt for Barneys ill health and the fact he cant get around like he used to, i know these birds would be competing at the highest level. The bulk of the birds are Jansen/ Sootjens, from the very best champions around. Last time Barney had such a sale he raised in excess of £3000. These birds are been sold at only a tenth of what they cost and are worth, why, because Barney loves breeding pigeons for his beloved charity. If your thinking of spending some hard earned cash at Blackpool, you might be better off keeping it in your back pocket and wait for this sale, as im sure you cannot buy any better birds there than what Barney will be offering, certainly not at the over inflated prices some will be charging. Good luck to those who get lucky, Simon
