Well 50 years ago today Norma and I were married at Tow Law ,the weather was so bad the roads were blocked by snow from the Wednesday until Saturday morning. Someone ,still don’t know who, sent a JCB to dig a single track to Norma’s house so the wedding car could pick her up .

Dear pigeonfriend,

As you know, for a few years already, I’m organising an indoor pigeon market at the football ground in Bevel. This year again it’s at the same weekend as Houten spring Show in Holland, it’s on Friday March 1é. It’s only 30 min from Antwerp and 10 min from Lier where market is on the Sunday. With loads of parking aria for the coaches it isn’t a problem to get there close to the front door.
There is a bar and a hamburgers stall indoor.

A sale of top quality pigeons is being held on pigeon news and results Up North Combine Facebook page top lofts from West Durham Amal Up North Combine and others please support this worth cause if you can
You can contact me 07939107512 if you need any information sale will end Sunday 17Th February

4 in number Pigeon Baskets have been stolen from Hart Bros. & Douthwaite , Pigeon Loft, on Wednesday 23rd January 2019.
All baskets are marked with their names, they are not rich members and participate in a poor mans sport, a sport in which we encourage young people to take part, but this sort of thing discourages them, because of the cost to replace what has been stolen.
All help in finding the Culprits will be well appreciated.
Thank You,
Sonny Douthwaite
