Saturday 12 juli de 1^e Young pigeon flight this season. There were already 2 have been training and they went as desired. These training were from Varsseveld and Ulft over a distance of 50 in 60 km.

Saturday Fields was the unloading place. A nice place in Limburg and luckily it was decided to do a release of our CC4 together with CC5 (Enschede and surroundings). In general, this is much better than immediately a release with department 9 North. With CC4 and 5 Is it a nice narrow strip where those pigeons have to go. We are talking about Enschede, Hengelo, Borne, Oldenzaal Denekamp, Ootmarsum, Glanerbrug, The latter enZ.

After breaking open the cloud cover, it was possible 10.40 hours to be unloaded. The wind came from the NW and then a breath of fresh air is blowing over the sea. Fields is a distance for our pigeons 117 km. With an NW wind they fly around 1,5 hours. We had wasted a number of pigeons with the training, but we were able to do it now 65 basketing pigeons. A nice number for the 1^e flight.

And so it went well, The first group of pigeons came to flown to 12.05 in 3 Pigeons came down pretty quickly and fell nicely on the run for the loft. It took a few seconds before they went through but to 12.05,41 was the 1^e dove, from 25-1033455 clocked. From 2^e in 3^e were clocked to 12.05,44. But 3 seconds later. Then the pigeons came for one 1^e flight back well. Within 12 minutes was half, 32 pigeons already at home. Most pigeons came home in groups in the beginning. Later they came one by one.

The association results (See results) we came in place 1 justly . There were also room 4, 5, 9, in 11 Also for our pigeons. Vincent Bonnes was also good and his pigeons came in place 2, 3, 6, 7 in 8 justly.

When all files were sent on Saturday evening, it soon became apparent that our pigeons had also done well in the district. Partly due to the NW Wind, the first places were divided in our Lutte. Also in the district we had the same places as in the association. So on the 1^e Young pigeons flee one immediately 1^e rayon against 2.813 pigeons. A great achievement.

Roermond will be on the program this weekend. Also a nice unloading place over a distance of approximately 160 km. Unfortunately a release with a department 9 North so that the spread is already very large. Had been better that this had also been a release with CC4 and CC5 only. And then from next week a release in Belgium with department 9 North.

Good luck all with the preparations and see you next week.

After a month without racing, we were allowed on Saturday 28 June again participate in the last mid -distance flight of this season. The pigeons had trained well in the past month and that is why we decided to have a good number of it 40 to basket.

Chalons and Champagne was the unloading place this time. This is a distance for us 419 km. The pigeons were released at 7.45 hour. With a SW Wind, the speed for the first pigeons around the 90 kilometers per hour.

The first pigeon was therefore found to 12.33,40. This was the 2-year-old cock 9037101. As 2^e came the 4-year-old cock 1598206 of the antenna. This cock did the best of all the pigeons in the association this year on the fleeing. This is on the mid -distance 206 met 4 head prices at a total points of 3.818,2. She is also at the top of the General Duif Championship. All in all a very good performance of this cock. Even in the district against 3500 Pigeons is this cock in place 1 ended up with 3.824,1 points. With a best lead on the 2^e mid -distance pigeon. Very cleverly.

The remaining pigeons then came off well. In the association we had the 2^e, 5^e, 6^e, 7^e in 9^e place with further 15 pigeons in the first 28. This is very good (See results). From 1^e place went to Vincent Bonnes this time. A beautiful early pigeon. Vincent congratulations.

On all positions we are at the top, Unfortunately there are only 8 flights from the 12 went on for our pigeons.

The season is over for the old pigeons, We are now continuing with the young pigeons. Next weekend another training. Hopefully that will go well. It is and it always remains exciting how the young pigeons are doing in the beginning. We will see.

Good luck with the young pigeons.

Saturday 24 mei de 4^e Vitess flight this season from Hirson over a distance of 336 km. Almost all pigeons have been participating again, There were this time 46, namely 23 doffers in 23 hens.

The wind blew this day from a southern west direction. In the afternoon rain would follow from the west, That is why the release already 07.00 hour. The pigeons had a good departure with the wind.

The first pigeons in the department had a speed of around the 130 km per hour. From 1^e pigeon was with us 09.39,18 found. The remaining pigeons then came off reasonably well. This time we had the 3^e in 9^e place with further 12 pigeons in the first 51 (See results). From 1^e place was this time for Vincent Bonnes. Vincent congratulations.

It was a strange weekend. Already on Friday evening after the basket we were told that the pseudo bird plague virus had been diagnosed with a pigeon lover in Oldenzaal. At that moment you know enough. There will be again (Just like last year in 2024) a circle are drawn from 10 km around the point where the bird pest was found. Within this circle of 10 Km you have all kinds of limitations and one of them is that you are no longer allowed to transport the pigeons. So that means that we can no longer basket pigeons. From 23 So in May it ends with the races. Unfortunately this affects many enthusiasts from Oldenzaal, Denekamp, De Lutte, Looser, Lonneker, Enschede, Hengelo, Weerselo etc. So for many lovers from CC4 and CC5, the flights have ended for the time being.

In 2024 we were hit by this measure at the end of June, Then a virus broke out at a farm with chickens in Germany. At the time we were not allowed to basket the pigeons for the flights from the end of June to the beginning of August. That meant that we missed the last flights of old pigeons and all the flights of the young pigeons. We were forced to play the young pigeons on the Natoer. Now in 2025 may we 30 do not participate in days, That probably means that we are the last 2 speed 3 Mid -distance flights cannot participate. And that while we are in good shape at all positions, On the Vitesse, Mid -distance and the General Championship. We are even in department with the pigeon championship in the mid -distance 9 on the 3^e in 5^e place with 2 pigeons.

Unfortunately it is no different, Something happens that you have no influence on, Hopefully we can after 30 day, This is then from 22 June again. The Young Pigeon Program is on the program from the end of June. If it goes well, we can participate again. We will see what that brings.

Until next time, at the end of June 2025.

Saturday 17 mei de 3^e Mid -distance flight from Soisson over a distance of 410 km. This time we have 32 pigeons basketed, these were 7 doffers in 25 hens. Most Jaarling cocks left at home because they had already had a hard time in recent weeks.

Again the wind came from the north. Early in the morning there was still clouds present so that it could not be released early. eventually 10.45 The clouds were broken so that the pigeons could leave. The departure of the pigeons was good and they would about it 5,5 hours of flying to get home. The speed with a calm north wind is around the 75 km per hour for the first pigeons.

The first 2 We didn't see pigeons coming but suddenly sat on the loft valve. These were the 24-8148825 year old hen and the 24-8148840 year old cock. Both pigeons who do well every week, but now have an outlier. At the same time we see number 3 in 4 also arrive. These were the 24-8148808 year old hen who already with this achievement 3 head prices on the mid -distance have flown. She is therefore on the 1^e place in the district at the Duif champions on the Mid -Fond. A very good performance. Nummer 4 was the 4-year-old cock 21-1598206, who does well every year but this year great. This cock is even in place 2 At the pigeon champions on the mid -distance in the district, just behind our hen, from 808. With the General Duif Champions, the 21-1598206 even in place 1, And that for a 4-year-old cock.

The pigeons came very well and fairly smoothly in succession. In the association we had the 1^e, 2^e, 3^e in 4 place (See results). This is unprecedented and is not common. Next we had 20 of the 32 pigeons in the price, an attractive rate 63%. All in all a very good flight despite the north wind. Fortunately, the sky was also very beautiful with white clouds and beautiful bruises. The view is good then.

In the positions we are now also good for it. On both the unmurrated and designated championships. Also as mentioned earlier, we are in the top places at the Duifkampioenen.

So far this year we are quite satisfied with the performance. Also nice that last weekend the first 3 Pigeons were yearlings. These are pigeons for the future. You can continue with that.

This weekend the predictions for the weather will be completely different. It gets cold and the wind turns to the South West. Hopefully it won't be Saturday with just rain but there is enough room to release and a nice one, probably then have a fast flight. There will also be other pigeons and other enthusiasts in the head of the result. We'll see what the.

We only basket on the Vitesse and not on the one -day long distance. That is impossible for us. We will probably play all the pigeons again, So the Jaarling cocks can also come again.

Good luck all.

Saturday 10 mei de 2^e Mid -distance flight from chalons and champagne over a distance of 419 km.

This time again quite a lot of pigeons, namely 16 doffers in 29 hens, A nice total of 45 pigeons.

For the umpteenth time again an east wind. And then also a joint release with department 8 GOU. All conditions for the umpteenth heavy flight of this season. Almost all of the pigeons will go to the loft through the center of the country.

The speed of the first pigeons will be approximately 75 KM per hour. That means that the first pigeons are a big one 5,5 will fly over for hours. The release was already over this time 07.30 hour. The departure was good and there went around the 30.000 pigeons in the air.

From 1^e pigeon was over 13.09,09 found. Pretty nice on time. This time it was the year -old hen 24-8148808. Also last week she could be found early in the results. Then she came in place 9 justly. Now was a place 4 for her. So already 2 Times on time on a mid -distance flight. From 2^e in 3^e pigeon came after it fairly smoothly. These came in place 6 in 8 right in the association. Then they came back reasonably well. We had finally 23 of the 45 pigeons in the price (See results). From 1^e was for J. Luhen from Weerselo. Good luck to Josh.

This weekend again a mid -distance flight from Soissons. According to the last weather forecast, another north wind.

Good luck with the preparations and see you next week.

Saturday 3 mei de 1^e Mid -Fond flight this year from Dizy Le Gros over a distance of 368 km.

Again almost all the pigeons participated, These were this time 50, namely 21 doffers in 29 hens. Already basketed on Thursday evening and at that time the predictions for the weather were not too good. Above Belgium, showers would arise that the pigeons would be very difficult for. And so it happened.

This time the pigeons were unloaded on time 7.50. Waiting longer was unfortunately not possible because the first thunderstorms already announced themselves south of the unloading site. The departure turned out to be pretty good, This also with a south wind. But on the radar it could already be seen that it would not be easy above Belgium and South Limburg. And that's how the competition went.

From 1^e pigeon this time was the 22-8162056, She was found to 12.47,06, followed directly on 2 seconds through the 22-8161984, Both hens who have flown the necessary top prizes in previous years. After that the pigeons came back reasonably well, but for a mid -distance flight with a distance of 368 km not smooth enough. The yearling pigeons in particular had a hard time on this Saturday.

Afterwards it turned out to be our first 2 pigeons were quite very early pigeons. In the entire department against 17.958 They were in place 22 in 23. That's pretty handsome. In the association we had the 2^e in 3^e place (See results). From 1^e was for the comb this time. Old Lashof. Frans and Riet Congratulations, great performance.

From 1^e place in the district 2358 Duiven was again for Wim Willemsen from Hengelo. Not al 3 weeks in succession CC winner. Nice to hear than the 1^e pigeon of this week, The same was that of last week, and that for 50% comes from our pigeons. Wim has purchased a lot of pigeons from us and then it is always nice to hear that they do well with another enthusiast. Wim congratulations. Very special now 3 Rayon victories.

In our association, the competition was open for almost an hour, That is way too long for a mid -distance flight. But there are also flights like that every year. We did have a quite high price percentage of 66%, that is to say 33 of the 50 pigeons in the price.

Next week the pigeons will go to chalons and champagne over a distance of 419 km. It's just the 5^e flight and then such a distance. And every week also a north or east wind that the pigeons have to go against. All in all very tough conditions.

Good luck all and until next week.

Marche

Saturday 26 April already the 3^e Vitess flight this season from Marche about a distance of 261 km.

We had this time 57 basketed, namely 25 doffers in 32 hens.

Early in the morning the air was first gray and we had to wait for it 11.00 hour before it could be released. With an east wind it would be about 3,5 hours flying before the first pigeons are at home. The first pigeon was clocked with us 14.28,30, again the 23-9037091, This hen was also at the first at the first flight at the first flight.

After that the pigeons came back reasonably well but not so great than last week. In the club we had this time 5^e place. This time the victory went to a pigeon from Gerald Spitshuis. Gerald proficiat. Finally we did 35 of the 57 pigeons in the price (See results). Again many cocks who did well.

This weekend is the 1^e Mid -Fond flight on the program from Dizy Le Gros about a distance of 368 km. already basketing Thursday.

Good luck all.

Saturday 19 April of 2^e Vitesse flight this year from Tongeren over a distance of 199 km.

On the Vitesse, almost all the pigeons that can go on flees. We left a few latecomers from last week, Thus we came to a nice number of 55 pigeons. (24 doffers in 31 hens)

As so often in recent weeks, the wind came out of the wrong corner again, but the further prospects of the weather were good and then you hope you get a nice flight.

The solution was 9.45 hour and a calm east wind windy. There were even some beautiful white clouds in the sky. All in all circumstances for a wonderful Saturday. Even the department talked about a super departure of the pigeons. Always good to hear and read that they immediately go out of the good side at the release.

We expected the 1^e Pigeon about there 2,5 hour would fly over. It surprised us that it was just a little earlier. About 12.12,08 it was found and it was even a 3-year-old cock, from 22-8162046 While we usually have the hens in the lead. This cock is of good origin but had not flown super in recent years. Now the motivation was apparently present to be the first to fly in the loft. Then even several cocks arrived on time, at the first 6 arrivals 4 doffers. Finally, cocks also know what flying is. The entire flying team came home very smoothly this Saturday. Within 10 minutes after the 1^e Dove was, were already there 37 the antenna passed. The rest 18 were then also quickly at home.

This time we had a great result in the association and the 1^e, 3^e, 4^e in 5 place were allocated to our pigeons. Further 8 pigeons in the first 14 in the Association. We even had 47 of the 55 pigeons in the price. A price percentage of 86% (See results). In the district we ended up in place 2, 7 , 8, in 9 And that with an east wind. A super achievement. From 1^e Place in the district was for Wim Willemsen from Hengelo. Wim congratulations on this performance. Well -done.

Next week again an east wind and a release in the beautiful Marche located in the Ardennes. A beautiful unloading place over a distance of 261 km.

Good luck everyone with the preparations and see you next week.

We always play double widowhood in the first flights and that meant that there 60 pigeons have been basketed. (30 doffers in 30 hens)

'S-Hertogenbosch goes over a distance for our pigeons 135 km. The predictions were such a wind so that the speed around the 80 km per hour would drop. Also, such a wind often does not mean too much good about the course of the flight. Our yearlings in particular will not get it easy. As a young pigeon, these yearlings only had the Natoer last year. Due to the bird flu in July 2024 If we did not participate in the young pigeons, we flee. And at such a short distance with such a wind and a unloading spot that is western, early pigeons are not possible.

In total were in the Noord department 15.242 pigeons in competition, a nice number. were in our own area 3.243 pigeons that came along. The pigeons were released at 09.30 hour.

The 1st pigeon was clocked with us 11.14,21 this was the designated hen 23-9037081. This hen already flew a hen last year as a year -old hen 1^e price in the association. Then the pigeons came back pretty well for a first flight. Within 17 minutes he had Reeds 41 back from the 60 and these all had a price.

In the association we started with the 7^e place, The first pigeons were on the west side of our association. Jos Luhen from Weerselo went with the honor and had the 1^e in 2^e place. Followed by the Comb. Old Lashof, Also from Weerselo. We were quite satisfied with the course of this flight. (See results)

This weekend the 2nd Vitesse flight from Tongeren over a distance of almost 200 km.

Good luck all.

As in previous years, we have in the first week of 2025 all pigeons, both breeding and flying linked. That went to complete satisfaction. Most pigeons hatched eggs fairly quickly and the young pigeons grew up well.

At the end of February we set the flight hens again so that they do not come on eggs for a 2nd time. From the 1st week of March we started training the hens. The cocks usually stay in the nest for a week longer to ensure that the young grow up. These cocks therefore start flying out a little later and start training again.

At the beginning of April, training will slowly become more rhythmic, but we will be very careful with this. They should be good in the months of May and June, then the beautiful flights. Na 2 Small training of ourselves is the season again on Saturday 12 April started with a first Vitesse flight from 's-Hertogenbosch.
