Guest REDFOXKRAUTHS Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 local racing will be hard to beat, although we have the biggest club in cornwall , the irish clubs some have 100 members

Guest strapper Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 years ago my town had 45 members considering its a very small market town it speaks volumes for how much pigeon racing was thought of in days gone by. we now have as little as 12 members.
