video of lier market our members might find interesting............skip past the first 1 minute of the introduction

JUST NOTICED THE PERSON WHO UPLOADED IT DONT ALLOW IT TO BE SHOWN ON OTHER WEBSITES/FORUMS ETC, BUT JUST CLICK THE LINK AND IT WILL TAKE YOU TO YOUTUBE WHERE YOU CAN WATCH IT AS NORMAL

have a watch of it on youtube george, its a good video ........

Good to have friends George who are not money mad.

The other item refers to 2007, wonder how matters stand now with that organisation
today.

First had pigeons 80 odd years ago, first raced at 16 in partnership.

Had as much fun before racing them, gang of us kids all had pigeons and we used to send a basket of pigeons on the bus
each putting 2 or 3 in each and have our own races from 7 miles.

Took it in turn to go on the bus.

From them days of pure enjoyment the sport has progressively gone commercial and once that happens Bingo.

Over the years seen the advantage takers ruin the sport.

You can pick them out today selling everything but their soul to make a fast buck

Regards.

Looks very well George for a pigeon that age.

Found in the main the ordinary fanciers helped each other and
new starters in particular if changing from showing to racing.


Actually, the same today, amongst the grass root fanciers.

The professionals swap between each other and sell to their cast offs at
the highest prices they think they can get, the ruination of our sport amongst
other things.

the janssen brothers said "you can sell the fruit, but never the tree"
