Norrie Sharpe Clearance Sale -

While out and about recently I paid a visit to Norrie. After a break from the sport Norrie restarted a couple of seasons ago with his sole aim to fly the distance events. In his hey day , Norrie won everything that was possible to win at the sprint to middle distance events and on restarting he decided that he would concentrate on the long distance races. With this in mind he purchased nothing but the best and his present stock were sourced directly from the following fanciers N Black & Son, Alan Darragh, House Of Aarden , Novara Stud , Tom Marshall and P & C Swindell , to whom he has nothing but praise for the calibre of birds that they supplied him. He also sourced out a few Van Loons , a family close to Norries heart, considering this family of birds were responsible for numerous winners for Norrie . I viewed the birds and must say that they were awesome and their bloodlines sourced was nothing but top drawer breeding . Unfortunately Norrie's health has not been great recently and with much reluctance he has decided that he must give up his beloved sport. With this in mind, a complete clearance sale will be held in two parts. Part (1) Saturday 11th October - Venue: Chimney Corner Football Club, Auctioneer Steve McGarry - More info to follow.
