pjc Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Newboy, the best thing for you to do is contact the RPRA and find your local club. When you have made contact then see if they can put you in touch with a local fancier to you who will give you help and advice. I would try and spend some time with an experienced fancier and learn a little before even thinking of getting birds etc. You will of course find lots of useful tips on this forum by just reading some of the threads.

jimmy white Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 my advice newboy is get to know one of your local best fanciers, form a bond , then listen ,look and learn learn about pigeons from a master craftsman at the game [NOT in a pub] learn the best habits to get into, and if your keen enough, theil stick with you,,, this forum and its members ,will answer all questions regarding pigeons,,,but just one thing to remember ,,,,,,,,theres more downs than ups in pigeon racing but the ups are the greatest thrills you could ever imagine ,,,,,,,,best of luck , enjoy your racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
