First, we must always help new-starters become established and we must help one another. Second, we must promote the sport and educate the general public on the aspects of pigeon racing and the history of the racing pigeon. Third, we must strictly follow the rules of our unions on the reporting of strays and following up on reports. Fourth, we must keep our sport honourable and refrain from unfair practices, such as the use of illegal substances with our birds and clock manipulation. If we all accept these responsibilities the sport will grow and gain respect. New starters can be bewildered by the complexities of breeding, racing systems, feeding, etc., but a little guidance from club members can greatly assist them. Each club should have a few spare clocks on hand for use by the beginners until they can obtain their own. There is a lot of information available on the Internet for printing out, and a club should have a selection of this information for distribution to new members who would like it. Club seminars and loft visits are helpful to give hands-on experience to the tyros. We all have surplus stock available from time to time and this could be made available. I don't mean culls, I mean good quality stock. An example of helping one another happened to me a few months ago. I had to spend some time in hospital over New Year and was not able to drive the 200 miles to the Capital City Club annual show. I wanted to participate but I phoned Bob Paulsen the president of the club and expressed my regrets. A few days later I had a phone call from Doug Chadwick one of our club members. Doug offered to take my birds down to the show and care for them. This arrangement was much appreciated. During the racing season I get my neighbours and friends involved. They come over and watch the birds return from the races and we have little parties. A little innocent betting takes place and for the last race we run an auction. This has created a lot of interest and I am already being asked when the races start again. We strive to provide only quality information, so if there is a specific topic related to Racing Pigeon Loft website that you would like us to cover, please contact us at any time. And again, thank you to those contributing daily to our Frillback Pigeons website. << Return from Frillback Pigeons page, back to Racing Pigeon Loft Home |
