Tony C Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 If anyone took any pics of the fancy pigeons can you post them on here. Opened my eyes to a side of the sport I know very little about. Great to see them exhibited there.

Guest beautyhomer Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 SPOT ON DAV YOUR RIGHT. WAS A GOOD TURN OUT FOR THE INAGURAL SHOW FOR THE NPA........WILL BE BIGGER AND BETTER NEXT YEAR If the show is going to be bigger next year they will need a bigger hall to hold it in.There was no more room in that one,it was over crowded as it was with very little room in the ailes.The judging on the Friday night also caused problems due to the lack of light.
dav Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 in reply to how much were they selling for,15yrs ago i paid £8 for a pair of russians exactlly the same colour as the one to the right of the one in the main photo.they were npa rung as well,i wonder how much it would cost me for that pair today.

Guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Posted March 4, 2007 Hello Everyone I actually exibited at Blackpool show this year in the NPA section, and I have to say although the show itself was really good the lighting was poor for judging although I managed to win quite a few prizes with my Membler High Flyers, Holle Croppers, and American Show Kings. I am the secretary of the Young Fanciers Pigeon Club for the UK, and Attend lots of the Fancy pigeon Championship shows across the Country.
Guest beautyhomer Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 Welcome to pigeonbasics Steph,I remember you when you first started with pigeons at the North West & North Wales Columbarian Society.You must have only been 7 or 8 at the time. beautyhomer
gangster Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 I BELIEVE THE SHOW BIRDS ARE GETTING A BETTER ROOM NEXT SEASON...
Guest Posted March 11, 2007 Report Posted March 11, 2007 Welcome to pigeonbasics Steph,I remember you when you first started with pigeons at the North West & North Wales Columbarian Society.You must have only been 7 or 8 at the time. beautyhomer Hi BeautyHomer (Mr W?) Thank's for the welcome, I still show at "North West & North Wales Columbarian Society", But if your who I think you are I havnt seen yourself or your Family showing there for a long time, I hope your all well. Steph
Blue Chequer Posted March 11, 2007 Report Posted March 11, 2007 I did not exhibit at Blackpool but several fanciers that I know had birds there and they don't seem too keen on going back next year. Bad room, bad access, too long in the pens etc. etc. I think basically it was a shop window for the fancy breeds and a commercial opportunity for a few dealers. As regards the sale pens most in demand were Fantails, presumably to use as droppers. I am not sure if it will receive the necessary support next year. It's not my thing but everyone to his own.
gangster Posted March 11, 2007 Report Posted March 11, 2007 SORRY BLUE CHEQUER BUT NEXT YEAR THEY ARE GETTING A BIGGER HALL ACCORDING TO PETER BRYANT MORE ROOM BETTER FOR ALL EXIBITORS...
