Even managed to get to Davids for a brew.

lovely a big thank you david and to you gaz for collecting them both ambassadors for the site and fancy top lads

No probs Pete, would have been silly to be in the area and not call.
What a nice bloke David is, glad we went to meet him.

thanks for the visit gaz, it was a pleasure to meet you, kev and john, enjoyed the pigeon talk and will look forward to you calling again, or meeting up at one of the pigeon shows..........

No probs mate, thanks for having us.
The riff raff know where ya are now. lol

lol gaz. great offer with the gifted birds david this site full of great lads well done :

We had a really enjoyable day out.
We bought some quality birds there, Albert must have an Idea in mind with the base of his birds.
Now I know why the Van Rijn appealed to me, the base is janssen, Meuleman, Tournier.
I could see it in him.
Although they couldnt find the pedigree, it was still worth a stab for the money.
I just need to find the breeder Don Mann Of Sittingbourne.
Thanks David for your generosity, Kev is over the moon with the birds on which are now going to form the base of his Dhaenen family.
I'm sure Pete will be equally delighted with the two hens as they are quality mate.

like i say gaz, nice to finally meet you and kev, also to meet new member john too...........i also looked in to the Origin of the Van Rijn/Meeder family

The base bloodlines of this family come from the best of,

Gebr. Janssen (Merckx)

Karel Meulemans (Kadet)

Tournier

Jan Ouwerkerk

R. & X. Verstraete (Uno)

D. & L. van Dijck (Kannibaal)

so you were spot on with your plans for introducing this cock......

Nice one for that David, we have a lot of these lines in our JVDB.

and you know what have the R. & X. Verstraete blood in them dont you ? the lefebre dhaenens......

Now your ahead of us. LOL

gaz the basic bloodlines of the lefebre dhaenens are;

desmet-mathys x roger vereecke, with introductions from beulique m verhey and r verstraete, and also stichelbaut.

Gaz ive seen and handled Davids birds and race a few from him which have gone onto score, you and Kev wont go far wrong with them, last year he sent me two of his Janssens still here both very consistant young birds have high hopes for them as yearlings David is a credit to his birds and his birds are a credit to him
