GREENGRASS Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 Scottish National Racing Pigeon Club Reims Gold Medal race 28 & 29th June 2008. Probable1st Open, 1ST Section F Stuart Mullan Port Glasgow. Stuarts wife Karen, timed the 4 year old blue pied hen at 9.29 on Sunday morning. Stuart was not expecting pigeons for another couple of hours and had gone to train some other pigeons for races next week. The hen is bred down from pigeons purchased from David Black of Drommore and J & I Alston of Ravenstruther. Previously the hen had flown from Lessay gaining 109th open with the SNRPC. Last year the hen arrived a day late after a hard race from Reims. This year the hen had two races one from Wakefield and one from Wanstead Flats timing from the latter at 10.59. in the SNRPC race. She was sitting ten days on eggs on day of shipping. The hen has already bred a son which topped the Glasgow fed from Newbury last year. Stuart has been a keen national flyer from many years and works tirelessly for club fed and National. As can be seen from this report although the name of the lofts are attributed to Stuart his wife obviously plays a major role in their success. Given the wind situation this is an outstanding performance by the Mullan family and their pigeons. A wee bit reward for all the effort they unselfishly put in at all levels. A superb performance by an out and out pigeon family. Congratulations from all of us at the SNRPC and keep up the good work Karen and Stuart..

Guest IB Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 Given the distance, the location (the west coast of Scotland, on the River Clyde Estuary) and the wind (strong to gusting Westerlies) this is a really top-class performance, including the wife's. Well done, to the Mrs too
