Cheaper on the internet forums

"Think about what we as a hobby have to offer to someone considering joining the hobby? Spend 35,000 to get started, go to the club on Friday nights and listen to fights, arguments, gossip and people being bad mouthed, no one will listen to anything that you would like to contribute and if you do say something, someone will probably make you feel stupid for doing so. You will be expected to do more than your share of work and you will be expected to keep your thoughts to yourself. You cannot know anything and whatever life experiences you may have, are worthless in the pigeon racing hobby. Great sales pitch!"

Why bother, just sign up as a member of a forum and save time and money. No travelling, nor the cleaning out lofts and purchase of birds. - Going out on cold evening to club meeting for us 2% that still do -

Petrol on fuel and needn't bothering to ask, read up on or even try going spending time effort and money to improve your stock or ratings lol  ;D ;D ;D

Yep certainly some advert for enticing new members to take up our so - called sport lol   ;D

I'm also privileged to belong to such a club.

[chickadee]

Yes we love the banter, a lot better than dealing with any cyber dummies who control any conversation at the touch of a button. You will never replace the real thing what ever it may be

[Guest pigeon82]
