I think 1984 was the first season where the SNFC imposed a 12 bird limit on it's members, certainly didn't affect Mr Newcombe.

 

A 12 bird limit ... changed days now ?? :emoticon-0138-thinking: The first open winner, "Festival Delorna" was Fife rung, bred by Jock McKinnon of Ladybank direct from his 1st open Falaise SNFC winner "Lorna McKinnon". The McKinnon team contained a lot of Dennis Dall blood with a cross of R & M Venner pigeons.

J Miller of Edinburgh timed in a Van Hee cock that won 13th open and £1000+, He later won the Y/B Nat with a son of him that year.

Met him in Belgium that year on a pigeon trip,we never saw him for the first 3 days of the holiday, was too busy celebrating!

Went to Van Hee's to buy some of the same doos and they sent him away without even seeing one, saying they had none for sale as the Japs had bought them all.

He got taken to Van Bruane instead, and got treated to a visit around the whole set up for the afternoon,and some y/bs to boot.
