Cogburn Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Posted January 15, 2014 The chap presenting the trophy to jock Reid looks like the editor of the rp gazette,his name I have lost at the moment though,some cracking Bob Cormack doos though. That's the best I've heard anyone come up with so far John. Absolute class family of pigeons, visited him 1983 after being so impressed with a photograph of Lyrona Producer in a Joe Murphy article. Certainly lived up to my expectations. I first met Robert when I was 12 at a SCC presentation in the Hillcroft Hotel in Whitburn. He won the combine from Lille with 'Lyrona Dainty II' that year and my father and I got the Jim Dunoon Trophy for runners up. It was a good year for Avonbridge in the SCC that year as my clubmates Davie and William Young won the Yearling Derby and my dad won the best average over the SCC races. I've gotten to know Robert since and can say without question he is one of the best pigeon men I've ever met. So thorough and meticulous as a fancier, even today although he doesn't race anymore it's such a happy loft environment he has for the doos. A class act

The lofts were wide open to the elements on enquiring what he did if the snow blew into the loft. "Just brush it back out son"
JADE Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Cant say if it is him but was the Gazette editor S W E Bishop?

Mossgiel Posted January 18, 2014 Report Posted January 18, 2014 Champion. " Ashington leading lady" and "Ashington at last" two of there very best racers,bill bainton passed away some years ago but son Keith is still very much on the go and was a founder member of today's Central Southern Classic,John harwood of the Bhw was best pals with these lads and could have all the info and articles you are looking for mossgeil. Quite a coincidence John Harwood writing about Bainton & Son in this weeks BHW.

Mossgiel Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Mossgiel has found himself a challenger in Blue Chequer Pied See who can get this one quickestRowena
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Posted January 20, 2014 Rowena A bit quicker on the draw that time SNFC record holder- furthest distance flown by a 1st Open Winner Will end the night on what I think is a right hard yin(I could be wrong mind you) have a bash
Blue Chequer Pied Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 The Swan ?????? Was that a Willie Wilson doo? Storm Queen? For the last one ?
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Posted January 20, 2014 Was that a Willie Wilson doo? Storm Queen? Aye the Swan was a Wilson pigeon. Down off the £1000 hen when paired to D & M Donaldson cock, I think the £1000 hen was White Tail's last daughter. Nah it wasnae Storm Queen Paul, she was some pigeon though
