Guest TAMMY_1 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 While browsing on another pigeon site, I came across the following question "HAS BLACKPOOL LOST IT'S SPARK?" Without the permission of it's author, (Vallance Lofts), and I am sure he wont mind I thought it would be good to get the views of members here. These are my thoughts. [i]Blackpool will never lose it's sparkle, and I have been attending for over 40 years now. There may have been the loss of a few stands over the years, but for me it's the biggest social gathering of pigeon fanciers from all corners of Great Britain and beyond. I have attended all the major shows down the years and nothing compares to the atmosphere and buzz you get from the Winter Gardens, added to which you get a wide and varied choice from the hundreds of individual hotels with their own characteristics, and the friendliness of their landlords. This is what makes Blackpool a special place for me. The Blackpool Show has a history and tradition that is unsurpassed. What other show is talked about with the same amount of passion? From the moment we start to make our preparations to attend in the Autumn, during the show, and the many tales and fond memories that are spoken about for countless years after. It is an institution, borne out of the very characters that attend year in year out, and no other show in the world will ever match the nostalgia of BLACKPOOL. I remember the Old Comrades Show when it used to be held at the "Alexander Palace" in Wood Green, until it's demise many years ago, and for me the OCS has never been the same since.[/i] BLACKPOOL IS BLACKPOOL AND LONG MAY IT CONTINUE. What are members views? Bob That sums it up for me as well and Blackpool has even better memories for me as it was there I first met Liz.

Guest Mav Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 Hi All, Maybe Blackpool show would be the place to pick up some white Logans or some Delbars to start me of new shed coming next week and flight is already up and ready, Bet birds will be a fair price at the show,

DOVEScot Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 Blackpool is what you make of it, I am spending money of fuel, digs, food and entertainment and hope to get a couple of show baskets and a deal on ETS but we are looking forward to it never the less
tjloft Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 I have been going to show for 10+ years and have "pigeon" souvenoirs from most years in the loft - last longer than a stick of rock!!! It is a great opportunity to stock up on items for the current year. That said it has contracted a bit each time and the town itself is bleak without the kiss me quick hats and other tourist tat covering up the tatty paintwork. Took us 3 attempts to find a half decent B & B, first 2 were run by rejects from the Basil Fawlty Hotel Management Course who went on to take advice from the Villabella, Margate ;D That said it is going to take more than a bit of snow to stop me going this year!!!!
BLACK W F Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 was she drunk oh sory tammy and she is still drunk ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

frank-123 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 vincent we always agree you just don't like to admit it
