memories

i was secretery of our club and the chairman visited my loft to see my young birds he fancied a black pied and i told him if it was still here at the end of the year i would give it to him it raced in every race lifting a few minor cards

at the end of the year i give it to his son to put into his dads loft .next morning the bird was on my loft phoned chairman who said it was rubbish.

following year the cock won 6 races on the trot from 185 miles to 306 miles.

the chairman took some stick from the members every time i sent the black pied after that.

 

remember a smash race and the local lofts had a lot of strays in so we decided to play a joke on hughie now hughie enjoyed a drink and as he was in the pub we put all the strays into his loft there was all colours you could think of.

hughie returned from the pub and staggered up to his loft opened the door and shouted "holy jesus im in the wrong loft" we laughed about that for years
