1988 Avonbridge had the first bird into the fed that year from Rennes.Andra Lamond of 'Blue Power' fame

 

I'm sure this is when Robert Cormack had his good hen 'Freckles' on the go-18th,12th and 7th open SNFC Rennes in successive seasons

 

Andra lamond was my uncle Lewis , my antie still has the picture of blue power on the wall , I beleve it also top the fed a few times aswell, and won him a few bob.

Is jas Johnston still staying in bo,ness in frank baillies old house ? I'm sure that's who bought it .

 

The Jas mentioned passed away a while back Stuart. He was a top flier in his own right and joint ,since the 70s, 2nd place for Avonbridge( with the great Youngs) number of Combined average wins. Some ar* ehole McCalley has won it more times . I believe Jas was also 2nd Open SNFC YB national, he returned from the bookmakers to find the bird clingin ion to the dowelling on the front of the loft.

 

I vaguely remember Jas Johnston but I was an infant at the time when he was helping his nephew, Jim Smith, with the birds- " the drinks are on the Black cock"
