Doncaster 2024

Did anyone go. I had to cancel last minute late Friday due to family and gutted I couldn't go. Our barry went and said it was excellent and very busy . Nevermind got nehu show then Blackpool.

yes I went Ray and had a good time, it was hard not to buy a pair because there were some super pigeons being auctioned plus some in the pens, but I kept my money and spent it on some canker stuff and respiratory stuff then a good night out in Doncaster.

Hope nehu show is well attended, doesn't seem as many stalls this year though. I'll go with grandson , just hope he doesn't get bored too quick though. only 6 yr old.

I will be going but the thing about the nehu show it's over too quickly. They pack up at bloody lunchtime which is pathetic. I think there is an auction later in afternoon, which I have said do for years to keep people there . There needs to be more going on instead of wanting it over by 1 o'clock. I still enjoy it but needs to be better especially for what they charge for entry fee

A lot of fanciers disappear about 1:30pm to go feed up before it gets dark, the show is nearly empty by then, which is bad news for the stall holders, especially those that put a lot of effort in and travel hundreds of miles and end up wishing they hadn't bothered. Most cases they don't return the following year. I know you can't force fanciers to stay but it will get smaller and smaller if they don't make it worthwhile for traders.

That's why I say something needs to be on later to keep them there apart from a auction but I can't think of anything just now but something worthwhile. I love the shows but when you've been around twice that's it . Maybe a top flyer doing something like a talk , but a top flyer . I don't know
