Christmas Bonus for Osmaston Park Homing Society


Sunday November 1st and the Osmaston Park Homing Society started their show series with the first show being Old cocks & Old hens T.T.W. plus a eye sign class.

All the pigeons in their respective classes were of a very high standard which gave the judges a difficult task to find the winners. Judging the Old cocks class was Shamous O’Donnell who after careful selection managed to find the card winners but said they all deserved a card. Coming out on top and having a excellent show was Yule & Inger taking the first four positions plus best in show.

Getting the winner was Paul Adams with Mick Wilis & Family in second followed by Dave Wilis & Family in third with Jason & Karen Phillips in fourth.

 

In the eye sign class there was an excellent entry and again a very competitive class with. The judge for this class was Phil Wright and I must say he did an excellent job with Chris Gilliver taking the top two positions with Mr & Mrs Hays & Son in third & fourth.

Also the show judges A.Houldsworth, Phil Wright, John Dowd, Ken Salt, Brian & Sue Stone, Derek Towers, Darren Johnson & Dave Swift. Who did an excellent job. I would like to thank Mark Yule for taking the photographs. Yule & Inger would like to thank Mick Barry of Norwich for the quality Dordins he has provided them with which have won many shows over the years.

 

The show series was a complete success making over £900 to be raced for in the forth coming season. Total entry over the six shows averaged 150 birds per show. The show committee would like to thank the sponsors Mr & Mrs Houldsworth, John Hassey, John & Steve Hicks, Steve Stone, Yule & Inger & Gary Fletcher also everyone who supported the shows because with out you there would be no Christmas bonus.
