Just a thought.
With all the new members, which is great to see, it would be nice to know just a little about some of you. Like where are you from, who do you race with, how many birds kept and route flown.
Myself I’m from Wincanton, Somerset. Race in the West of England South Road Combine with the Glastonbury club. Racing East to West. I have quite a small team of 11 widowhood cocks + their hens and 4 natural pairs. I don’t keep stock birds as such.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

Hi I live in Coventry but originally from Studley in Warwickshire (near Redditch) I don’t race any longer but raced for over 35 years competing against the great “King” Jack Adams in the now long gone Birmingham and District Saturday Federation and the South Birmingham Fed, my Brother in law and nephew race and also a regular visitor to Blackpool I like to keep my eye in. It was sad to see Pigeon Chat go but it was inevitable, this looks a good site and it’s nice to see some of the regulars of that site coming over.

It is a great site and the folks are just as great, like all sites been quite of late but does get busier when racing starts, also great to see so many of chat members come over look forward to seeing the site build with all the new members and topics

Yes we have been through a quiet spell and lost some great friends, Killer and Magic to name just 2. But we have kept things ticking over and enjoyed what we have been doing. Great to see all these new members and hope this will give the site a boost and be as good as pigeon chat in time.

Hi

I’m in the Rotherham area, only a member of the NFC and
try and race with my micro team of six pairs of natural pigeons, 12 to 16 young birds & no stock birds. Nice and relaxed just fitting the birds round family and work life !

As the Chat members will know I'm Mike Lycett from Rugeley. I'm the youngest of 8 children of Cath and Ken Lycett who ran the MNFC and MCC with great distinction.

My own birds were all sold in an Entire Clearance in 2007 but my Dad and 2 of my brothers raced from 2010 until Dad's passing a couple of years ago.
