At Dublin & INFC Show 2017 -
Posted: Mon Dec 04, 2017 4:43 pm
Hi everyone , sorry I'm a bit late with a report regarding the Dublin Show last Saturday . A great turnout on the day , meeting up with a lot of old friends & gaining even more new ones .The interest in NCC 2018 was fantastic , almost everyone Sean & I spoke with were keen to book their perches for 2018 .Now something that's not so nice to speak about but needs to be said . Before I go any furthure Sean , Willie & I are sorely sickened by what marred an otherwise great day .
It's the policy of NCC to be open & frank about all aspects of NCC business .
The Bushmills Distillery mealy cock , the most expensive LOT sold at the recent NCC / Pigeon Chat Online Auction , was stolen from under my nose out of the basket .The bird wasn't missed until the purchaser came to collect him . He has graciously understood the situation and is accepting a full refund and a sincere apology from me , as I had full responsibility for the pigeons sold at auction and delivery arrangements .After hearing about this unfortunate incident our good friend Kenny Glass made the offer of a gift to the buyer , the 1st 2018 youngster bred from the sire of the stolen bird , I'd like to thank Kenny from the bottom of my heart for this generous gift.
Sorry no pictures available from Dublin because to tell the truth after that I'd lost all interest .
