Good morning gents just to inform the fancy that the show will no longer carry on , the committee had a meeting last night and decided to finish the charity show up . It was a hard decision after giving 58,000 pounds over the years to st johns hospital once again we would like to thank everybody over the years for the kind donations and assitance .

Very sorry to hear this, i enjoyed going to this event for the best part of 20 years now

 

Has to be said that although MANY many hands go to work on the show Clarke Smith stands out to me.

sad to see a lot of the big shows falling but it is for the best as the ordinary racing fancier will get a better idea of the quality of there stock competing at local shows as the racing classes at big shows are flooded with pigeons with show blood in them and very few racing fanciers compete at major shows

On what evidence do you get that? Last whitburn show was cleaned up with D Mathieson and son (yourselfs), And have also had a good racing season again this year. Also R Walker and Daughter where very succesfull at this show. More top racing fanciers?

thanks for the compliment brian ijust think we get a better opinion of our pigeons when we are competing at local shows against good racing fanciers and some fanciers showing at big shows have admitted to me that there is show pigeons in the pigeons that they show

Yeah am defo not going to say there aint show cross in the classes as we all know there are... All I am meaning as its down to judge to split whats racer and whats not. I believe Whitburn was always the best show as the judges where top class and knew what was needed to win. Just dont like the idea that shows are going to start dissapearing as this one was always well supported and now gone so god help the ones that scrape past each year. And the way SNFC and SNRPC got returns for the nationals be intresting to see if the usual suspects have 5-6 in 300-500 mile classes as if they do then they must have got the best returns in Scotland to have sent a team and got returns! I myself got 2/10 marlborough and 0/1 Eastbourne. Defo nothing for show pens tho

a judge shouldnt have to sort them out these people that show racing pigeons with show blood in them are just trying to make a fool of top nat fliers asked to judge and also a extremly beautiful racing pigeon can be condemmed for having show blood in it if a judge trys to sort them out when in actual fact it should have been the winner

Nonsense !!

Who in their right mind would allow the outcome of a show , big or small, dictate to them the 'quality of their stock' ??

channel racing decides the quality of your stock
