Novice Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 There is no doubt that Charlie Mc Kerrow (senior) was a good pigeon fancier. He was a gem of a guy into the bargain.
paddymac Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Nice memories to cherish Kenny and a focus for your own goals in this great sport of ours

Just as a wee footnote , on this hens 1st time at Rennes she arrived at 06.19am with 30+ English YB in tow from Silloth area. most were captured and returned to their owner who let them out at about 4 15 am.so she was well up at nightfall on a day when there were only a handfull on the night.
