[Guest]

We've just had two kids join our club in Family membership with their parents

[Guest]

Its hard to get Young people interested, in my club there was a few Young lads showing a bit of interest, so we got the council to buy them a loft and the members supplied young birds and all the bits and bobs. They only lasted one YB season and they reallised it was too much like hard work.

[westy]

that was good of the council they shoul introduce pigeon racing to youngsters to keep them off the street to stop them causeing trouble

[Guest shadow]

Had several young fanciers racing last season some won cards all but one have resigned now they have found . Two legged birds without feathers.

We breed 40 - 60 young birds every year.

[Guest coxy]

i am a young fancier and ther r 3 others tht i no

[T_T]

Sadly, two clubs in our town and I can't think of one youngster between us.  I would say at a guess, the youngest person between each club is 40-41yrs old.

[Guest jason]

theres a 15 year old just joined our club this year ,hope he sticks at it.

[Guest jason]

i have three kids, harvey age 6 , grace aged 4 and max (ray) aged 8 months and they all show interest in my birds problem is they're a bit young yet.

 

 

 

 

 

<max (ray) super-hero !

[westy]

[carl]

Our club is a strong club but i must say there no youngsters.i would say the youngest is 25

[westy]

i am hoping to get my youngest sister in to the sport who is 5 she is very interested.

[MsPigeon]

Four in our club, two are 13, one is 11, and one is about 8. the important thing is that they have their parents involvement, or they won't be able to stick with it. Thre of these Jr members have a parent or grandparent in the club the other just has a very supportive father that brings him to all the meetings etc.

Carol,

 

Before I sign a Junior on to The Help a Beginner, I speak with the parents first, I find it is pointless allocating a Mentor to a Junior and supplying him/her with good quality pigeons if the are not backed up 100% at home, in fact I now get c Form of Parental consent signed.

I only know my son, he fly's in his own right sets clocks and is a great help. He's 13 and had his own birds for two years. Our local club allow greatly reduced membership, however, he is a member of NFC also MNFC and I have the pleasure of paying full fees for him.
