Roundo Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 'John Boy' was raced by my late Uncle and now enjoys his happy retirement in my stock loft. He was a winner of numerous prizes, including 1st Club, 1st Federation, 1st Region D, 105th East Section, 142nd Open SNFC Newbury Inland National 5,369 birds competing, flying 326mls 1186 yards. I've got my fingers crossed his off spring can do the same. Have any of the members got their own favourites? Colin.

Hi there, Yes, it was nice to speak to you also and I did eventually pass the haggis to it's new owner (PB member), who I know is still eating yet, but it was good stuff. The old favourite originates from the best of Mike Donachie's distance family as did most of my Uncles channel winners. Cheers, Colin.
