Hi All,

Just a brief note to say thank you to every one who made the sale yesterday. There were a lot of bargains to be had and I'm sure that the buyers will be only just realising the quality of some of the pigeons they have brought when they look over them in detail the next couple of days. The sale as a whole was very disappointing, the turn out was poor in the finish and there was plenty of bargains to be had. Some of the people intent on buying would have thought all there Christmas's had come at once. A number of people called to say they couldn't find it and gave up which was a shame. I had no reception on my phone while I was in the building so it wasn't until I went outside and got my messages I realised some of you had been trying to call. I apoligise for this.

A special mention to my friend Paul Noyce for all his help and assistance. He arrived at my house at 7.30am to load the birds and did the driving to Tipton for me. Thanks again mate you were a star. Also to Paul Smith and his Uncle Davy Burns who made the trip from Liverpool, Paul realised on the morning that his wife needed the car so not wanting to let me down hired a car to make the sale. Thanks once again mate, I really appreciated your support and it was great to see you both.

To Ian Wheatley, Alan Armstrong, Mark Jagger and his dad - who provided the comedy, Robert Boff and Dave Geden also. Thanks for all coming and it was nice to have a drink together at the end. To everyone else that came, thank you.

If you couldn't make the sale through commitments or just didn't want to travel I will be doing the same as I did last year in November, December & January and will be advertising a few pigeons direct through this site on the "For Sale Pages". These will be on a fixed cost basis so first come first served etc.

Enjoy your winter and don't get too caught up in the silly season with the ever present talk of change, moving Clubs and Federations that seems to go on these days. Enjoy the rest and catch on on some much needed time with your families.

kind regards

Mark
