The sale today showed more than anything else that the members are right behind us ( the committee) giving birds from their Very best stock and racing birds. Thank you all.

Even more Gratitude is due to the Friends we have from around the country who also donated fantastic Yb's to suit all distances and fanciers preferences.

 

I would like to put it on record that Ian Lindsay of the Lindsay & Henderson partnership bought his own lot for quite considerable money and promptly gifted it to me. An unprecedented gesture from a true friend, THANK YOU Ian

Your generosity humbled me.

 

I was also lucky enough to purchase the J & I Alston Yb, further strengthening the stock in my lofts. All I need now is the time to get the best out of them !!

THAT WAS GOOD OF THEM JOHN AND THE ONE YOU BOUGHT IS A NICE ONE MATE WISH YOU ATB WITH THEM JOHN IT WAS A GOOD TURN OUT YESTERDAY JOHN AND A NICE WE SUM WE GOT AS WELL

[JohnQuinn]

Aye Jamie it was a marvelous gesture and the breeding in it can only improve my lofts. Same can be said about the Jock Alston yb too.

The support from everyone has took us forward 20 years in just 9 months, I'm now convinced that we will go from strength to strength over the next couple of years and will achieve our target of buying brand new lorries for the Fed that will see us well established for years to come.

John if your not fae lanarkshire nobody wants to buy them but here am only two mile away fae they're boundaries

[Pelican]

Not harsh imo, ive been ti 100s of sales in years gone by and its the same old same old attitude.2 muppets get bidding against each other and lose the plot.To be honest, not many ybs worth more than 50 pounds really but thats just me, mr sensible.

well for a start you need two guys 2 bid for the same doo if you don't get that you get a cheap doo

Rab, I was worried that would be all it made at our sale, so I insisted they all start at £10. The fact that your one was one of the top three pleased me. It may have been the top, but I honestly cannot remember.

My own only done 55 quid Derek and although ma results are no where near yours over the last 3 years that is more of a reflection on me not the doos.

 

The sire of mine is direct from a 1st W/sec hen when paired to a direct son of a 1st Open gold cup winner paired to a Jim Cullen silver award winner.

 

The dam is a Grizzle hen I bought from Eadie & Kelly's 4th Sec 27th Open Alencon.

So the bloodlines are imo impeccable but the bidders didnae fancy it, the doo has flown 5 races and was in great condition. The more mature Yb's seemed to struggle for bids though they will be easily broken when paired up next year.

 

I still Thank both you and Johnny for your support Derek and I am as dumbfounded as yourself that yours didn't make 3 figures.

John,

Even the mac bird went for less than normal, But great sale and well done to you and the team..

Aye Billy it was a good sale, I'm neither up nor down whatever my birds sell for but I have had 4 different fanciers feedback to me this year that my doos have flown well for them and one I gifted to a friend was on the front cover of the BHW, that's where I get my satisfaction from, the price paid doesn't mean much to me at all.

[blucock]

You guys did a fantastic job, well in!

Yer own officials should be well pleased with themselves too, as you's had a cracking sale as well despite both being on the same day.
