Marvellous achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind the Chinese chapping you’re door . Mr massarella will be on the phone . If it was my hen . NO CHANCE would I sell her , what to have her locked up for the rest of her life .moneys not everything. Marvellous performances from her over the years . I do hope she goes for her gold award and she gets it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Hay Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Well done everyone that got a bird, and gutted for my club mate Gogs Wilson who clocked at just after 5pm today but accidentally wiped his clock while trying to put his youngsters away to the race. The bird has flown well over 600 miles and was heavy pooled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
