Yes, I don't agree with that, charging kids, bit naughty when everyone is always saying there is no young people in the sport to keep it going
I have 2 grandsons who visit every week one is 19 and the other is 3, both take a little interest in the pet birds I have at the moment, lets see what happens when the pigeons arrive hopefully the get a bit more of an interest.

It's hard to get them interested but hopefully they do mate, what I do is let both my lads pick a bird each from the benzing list and I give whichever birds come back first £20 quid it's made them interested lol 😁
