Was saddened and disgusted to hear that in the early hours of this morning club member Davie Cross 80+ years of age had his loft burned down killing 11 remaining doos in the 24 foot Loft, 6 young birds were at the race and had nowhere to go after returning home.

 

Police are involved but no doubt they wont put many man hours into finding who done it.

 

heartbroken for the man

It,s always sad to hear of such a tragedy happening to a fellow fancier, here is hoping he is able to get over this and continue in the sport.

Gareth keep us informed am sure we could get a loft up for him in a couple of weeks if we rally round and help the old guy out if he wants to re build

 

Agree Frank,

 

members on Basics have always been generous in these circumstances, i will find out over the next few days if he is to carry with the doos and if so will get something started.

 

Cheers

Gareth

i cant get my head round the fact people do this !!!!! what sort of sick f**ks do this???? makes my blood boil. this poor guy will never get over this , he must be devastated. i hope they get caught and they should be made to pay . and be publicly humiliated . i hope the guy gets started again if he can face it.

I know exactly what he is going through after experiencing the same thing over 3 years ago. Believe you me, i,m still not over it even after only being in the sport for 3 years when it happened. It will be 100 times worse for this elderly gent if he has been in and about the sport for a long time, and at his age, it will all be too easy to through in the towel, and i wouldnt blame him. Here to help if needed.

 

Regards alex.
