Last  weekend  andre van de wiel  and i Gilbert heijnen  got an invitation  to give  a lecture  about the pigeon  sport.
It was organized by the pigeon club in Larne. Several fanciers  out off  the region even some  English fanciers  and
a fancier from Canada were at the lecture. All kinds off subjects passed and it was a verry interesting evening. The auction
off 10 pigeons was a great succes.  After a good english breakfast we made a tour trough the country side and we visited
4 fantastic pigeon fanciers. All top fanciers in there category. What a quality off pigeons !! National winners , sprinters,
middle and long distance pigeons. Me and Andre were asthonished by the top quality.
David Campbell with his fantastic loft and group off young pigeons, Tommy Mclean the nat Champion and the fantastic
health off the pigeons. And his nat winner. ( his coffee and thea was also verry good) Davy Kelvin the young motivator.
Top team off red pigeons and a verry good system. Winner against thousands off pigeons.
Than Jeff Greeneway. The builder off fantastic quality off averies. And a great team off winning pigeons. Also on the nationals. What a fantastic day it was.
In the evening we had a good meal and some verry interesting pigeon talk. You never to old to learn something. Listen/Learn/Win. After a Guiness i saw a little bid double.
The last day was the historical cultural day. A fantastic country side allong the coast. An historical meeting in a castle and a nice meal allong the coast.
Andre and i agreed it was a weekend for never to forget. The preperations Andre had to make for the covid papers were
incredible. but we made it. We want to give a special word off thank to John Wheatcroft for inviting us the board off the
pigeon club to organize for a 100 %. And then our guide, taxi driver, organizer and historical Man Mr Robert Mills  a special
