CULLINGFORD BROS

Heard the sad news today that Albert Cullingford has decided to call it a day with the pigeons due to health reasons
When I started on my adventure with pigeons in 1970 Big Bill and Albert were at the top of the tree flying in 2 clubs with 40+ members in each club and 47 years later still winning out of turn
I have yet to see any pigeon men gain the respect off their fellow members as Cullingford Bros have in Darlington, never heard any whispers or seen pointing fingers, just well earned respect
