Really enjoyed reading that Walter and it has brought back fond memories of having the pleasure of meeting young Sam Rogers and his Dad Sam also who has since sadly passed away if we are talking of the same people. We have remained friends and I enjoyed meeting up each year at Blackpool and listen to Sammy senior relating his stories and experiences of yesteryear. I could have honestly spent the weekend sitting in the hotel listening to old Sammy in stead of going to the show. Anyway just a short story that happened one of the years we were at Blackpool and old Sammy was giving his usual Father to Son chat to young Sam before we went to the show about not being foolish and keep his hands in his pockets when looking at the birds. Of course young Sam bought a few birds over the weekend and went back up to the Winter Gdns on the Sunday before the show closed and returned to the hotel with two training crates that he got a few quid off bargaining with one of the stall holders. When it came to the journey home and the packing into the car started and young Sam insisted that the crates were packed to hold the birds that he had bought over the weekend,thats when the problem's started because there was not enough room to fit everything in the car and a few choice words were spoken from both sides about who's fault it was and who bought what, much to the amusement of us all standing waiting to say our farewells. Dave the owner of the Hotel at the time agreed to store one of the crates until it could be collected and things soon settled with everything in the car and old Sam already sitting in the passenger side having said his farewells and stewing over the packing of the car to start with. Anyway young Sam said that he would get something sorted with the other crate and after his farewells got into the car and they both set off down Charnley Rd for their journey home. Just as they departed we all just fell about laughing because as the car drove away their was two suitcases sitting in the middle of the road which they had forgot to put in the car after all the arguing it was so funny and needless to say both never noticed and I'm sure there were a more choice words when they arrived home and realised what had happened.

Exactly 50 years ago, it was the final old bird race from Bournmouth and I can remember it as if it was yesterday. The club accumulator had not been won that season and their was me lying in my pit on the Saturday when my mum shouted up that their was a bird on the landing board. As we only had one away and my brother was working that day I shouted down to her asking what time it was to which she replied 12.00 o-clock no chance says I to my-self as it was almost 400 miles so I reluctantly rose from bed and looked out the curtains to see our Mealy hen sitting there. Not thinking anything but get her clocked in I ran down the stairs through the kitchen and out the back door to screams which I ignored running down the garden and slipping on the grass brought me suddenly to my senses as a wet bum can do that but unperturbed dived into the loft opened the trap let her in caught her and realised the clock was in the living room. I raced back up through the garden into the kitchen through into the living room with more screams and clocked in. It was then I realised I did not have a stitch of clothes on.. Embarrassed was not the word for it as I later found that I had caused quite a commotion on the bus as well which had passed by and all the passengers had witnessed me in the garden. Talk about a reddy as I was the butt of jokes and sniggers for weeks BUT we won all the pools nom & accumulator and were all home when many did not get a clock in till much later.
