Project Pigeon Syndicate
Call out for Project Pigeon Syndicate members for 2011
Since February 14th Project Pigeon has been busy breeding pigeons ready for the 2011 young bird racing season. We now have 29 lovely racing pigeons looking for sponsorship, each is a potential winner. Project Pigeon also has 10 Birmingham Rollers available for sponsorship, for those of you who are less competitive (these pigeons don’t race)! These pigeons were selectively breed by a Hall Green bus driver in the early 1900’s, he saw one of his pigeons backflip in the sky and bred this trait into birds creating the Birmingham Roller.
Two lucky members of last year’s syndicate took home £4.60 each in prize money and an official certificate, things can only get better this year!
Membership is £20 per year for which there are many benefits, including:
• It makes for good conversation- ‘I own a pigeon…’
• Your name/ company name will be stencilled onto the loft
• A syndicate starter pack including photos of your pigeon, a certificate, race programme, newsletter, a feather and training programme
• Weekly email update - you get to hear Project Pigeon’s news first
• You can choose your pigeon- we have blues, chequers, blackens, whitens, mealys and lavenders. You can give your pigeon a name if you would like to
• A quarterly newsletter, with photographs, a diary, progress reports, pigeon stories in the news and so on
• You will receive an Aston and District Pigeon Flying Club Results Sheet for every race you enter
• For gardeners- as much pigeon poo as you want (an excellent fertiliser)
• You can come on training tosses with Project Pigeon
• You have the opportunity to come and watch your pigeon return from a race and be clocked in
