Westwater Assassin Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Just had a phone call today informing me of an up and coming sale of the pigeons belonging to Gavin Aitken from Kennoway. It has been a long and hard decision for the family to give up the birds but the time has come for the family to start concentrating on there health. Most of the fanciers if Fife will know the performances of this small team loft and will also appreciate the dedication this family has put into there lofts in order to achieve such performances. In the last few years the Aitken name has hardly been out of the top 20 in the "Fife Federation" and in the past 2 seasons "The Kingdom Association". They are past winners of "The Fife Fancier of The Year" and were members of Kennoway Club which itself is a hard Club to win in. More Details of this sale will be posted soon.

Westwater Assassin Posted November 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Nice one boys !! but in all honesty how much do we spend on birds to get a return ??? And when i say return i mean position wise NOT MONEY !! These guys have spent thousands on obtaining the best possible stock birds avialabe and THEY ARE winning CLUB / FED races week in week out. The prices of these birds are justified in the performances of there offspring. Wait till you see the racing birds sale ( 2ND DECEMBER) save your cash , come along and I WILL BUY YOU A PINT (square peg take note of another freebie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roundo Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I myself visited Gavin and William several months ago and I would have to say they have the best team of Van Reets I have ever seen. It doesn't surprise me when I read martin's comments. I spoke with William at the Edinburgh Show the other week and I couldn't even imagine how they are feeling just now, this is years and years of their hard work slowly drifting away. All the best to both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
