7 Towers Championship (Ballymena) -

Ballymena & District HPS have never made any decision about joining and competing in the local Seven Towers Championship and had previously raised some matters regarding the criteria for joining. I had some recent communication from the acting secretary Jamie Greer as below and before the start of a new racing season the details will be put to the Ballymena & District club members.

There has been no issue upon any of this until today so may I ask why? this information as far back as I can remember was published in the paper to let people know. We are in no way picking and choosing who we let in or who gets in the points and results. If any member who falls within that catchment wishes to join, they are more than welcome to ask myself.

As was stated at the formation of the Seven Towers Championship and still remains the same the following was the criteria that was published at the time, the only difference now being that Cullybackey is no longer the Centre: 1. To compete in the Seven Towers Championship the following criteria must be met, the individual member must have a Ballymena address (BT42, BT43, BT44 As listed as Ballymena postcodes), the individual member must race in a club with a Ballymena address and the individual must race mark through Cullybackey centre in all National and Classic races. No double duplicating will be possible to claim prizes, individual Members who are outside these boundaries but have been accepted into a club which falls in these parameters before the Seven Towers creation in 2018, will be allowed to compete. Anybody who meets these criteria we look forward to another successful season racing together.

For any further information or if you would like to publish something please contact Jamie Greer.

I would be sure I am going to have a lot of space available for the pigeon column over the next number of weeks and months and I will be looking articles of top winners, I have already send out a number of Loft Feature Questions and hopefully they will be sent back shortly. Not everyone is interested in publicity and race for fun, that’s ok the little write ups are just a bit of fun anyway giving an insight into winning fanciers birds and preparation for performance. Each year its impossible to cover each and every big performance, I just usually try my best. This season with all the problems we are going to have plenty of time. Before racing in 2020 I covered a few lofts and a small number did not supply info, maybe they will re-consider. We need to start with ace lofts, those who lift Top/Highest Prize-winner, after that major race winners and major award winners. Our interest would also include the various Fancier of the Year awards and then locally Champion Birds of the Year. We can also look back and I will feature any old news supplied and when time permits lift out a lot of my old archive, it will be the excuse to tidy things up. With no club presentations I will cover seasons report on the winners and maybe add some photos, or new ones if supplied. There will be nothing supplied that won’t be used although it will take time, but I think I will have to stay within the bounds of NIPA lofts and Irish Nat FC. Fanciers can supply on behalf of others who might not be up to date with computers, mobile phones etc with text and photos. If really stuck, info can be supplied by post. Everything is posted on our website as well for those that are modern.
