THE FIFER Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Met most of the above and lots more, took some photos of the basics meeting so hope to post them up later, was at the Moleveld auction, good birds, came away with 2 hens so was happy, got a new set of nest fronts, so will get them up quick, didn't look at many of the birds on the stalls so can't comment, the winter gardens are being dun up so yes a few places not open, so hopefully this is for the better,Hander out a few minatures so hope you all enjoyed them, that I met,

I enjoyed Blackpool, but I have to agree, the venue is past it's 'sell by date', but I doubt if you would get the same buzz if it went elsewhere. Blackpool has a certain nostalgia and social charisma about it that I have never witnessed at any other show in over 50 years of attending the big pigeon shows. For me Blackpool is more the pigeon fanciers social weekend, rather than a pigeon show - long may it continue. JMHO
