I'm sure a gentleman in Perth a few years back sent with and English organisation to 700 or 800 miles is this correct?

Was in 1989 - if memory is correct, that Bilco Organised the 1000 mile race from Rome. Best bird home was a Busseart. 17 in allotted time, and many in later stages. ( of course many made it and Bilco said he'd never organise another. A club mate was one of the 17. Was a real hot days too.

Imet this old bot several years ago at a one loft race, he used to take his birds down to England for basketing, he died a couple of years ago

he told me he preferred this type of racing. I believe he had the Bricoux pigeons.He was an undertaker by profesion I myself couldent see what he got

out of it as there was plenty of competition in Scotland. Don't know what happened to his birds.

A lot of Georges birds came here to Derry in the N/west of Ireland and have already proved their worth on the racing scene, especially from the channel race points. I'm lucky to have a few pair of his old Bricoux family in my loft.

Not sure of his race points when he was racing in Scotland George, but his birds in a short space of time have been responsible for 1st Club Talbenny Yb Nat only bird on the day 240ml, 1st club Bude 309ml and 1st Club St Malo Ob Nat 500ml. All channel races and flying into one of the hardest routes in Europe into the N/west of Ireland and that is not counting how well they have done on the inland race points.

I had two cocks from George Gauld. A son of one of them flew Thurso for me when I was just starting.

George flew with the BICC and was on their result fairly high up. He used to visit his friend from Blackpool area to give them a training toss, usually single ups. I think it was Tours that he raced from, but this BICC race was very early in our season.
