Hi Alan i have a team of late breds if you want some let me know mate you can have what you want sprint or dist

[Kyleakin Lofts]

I my yb loft and almost all the yb's in it apart from 2 John lost every yb and all his old bord bar 2 pigeons really gutted for him...

 

And yes i have had plenty of offers from people and it is any less than i would have done for anybody in the same boat as me!!!!

 

Rab has put some info on the other site and they seem to be motivating a bit. What about the two other lads, how are they coping?

Hopefully, the sites will assist with finance when needed and although I am unable to physically assist, I would be happy to help in that manner.

I am glad you are not going to let them beat you and pity them if you ever find out who they were.

operation clean up begun in earnest today stripped the rest of the wood of 2 of the burned lofts started a fire burnt all the torched/burned wood and the verandah we pulled all the burnt tin sheets out into the park aswell as pulling out a few bits of perspex that had been burned etc and tried to get all the ashes tidied up a bit aswell ready to barra away the morra then i hope to get the 8x4 sheets up from my mate(need to phone Frank123 for a loan of his pick up as Vince's is off the road just now)then the work on my big loft will start and i hope to get all the burned wood of the front of it and the plywood on and get it looking like a loft again some time this week.

 

 

 

As for John he has lost 2 lofts all his tools etc the same as me and lost most of his birds aswell he has 1 loft (his old bird loft) which is burnt on the front and side but is repairable too it will be a long hard road back but we are taking our time and we will get there in the end.

alan i have 3 pair of 2013 birds(kenyons) and my old mate Colin Rafferty (in his 70s) has 3 pair of older stock(white logans and delbars) if this is of any use to you all mate let us know.

[Bryngwynt Lofts]

So sorry to hear this shocking news!

If I can help with birds the offer is there.

[frank-123]

Alan just give me a shout i will get the pick up when your ready

[bigjamie]

thats good of you frank frank does not keep the birds anymore but is still always willing to help people out great stuff

[just ask me]

Alan, what is the full extent of the damage? I know your loft has damage, but is repairable, but how are your birds? What about the two other lofts? Are they both completely destroyed?

There seems to be a lot of offers from individuals, but I haven't heard of any organised help which seems to have happened in the past.

 

Ian and Alf have spoke by pm and phone I belive and there is help there when needed im sure of that as has been a numerous times when others have been in the same situation im sure its all very well organsised as per normal

[rambo1691]

alf this is r w menzies we have 20x8by4 sheets if u and the lads want them but someone may need to pick them up

my number 01698 621586

[Whats it called Cumbernauld]

Have sent Alf a pm offering help, if anyone is already organising this just let me know when, u can count me in

Top man is Alf
