As we start off a New Year, may I wish ALL readers of my column, all the very best in Health & Happiness for 2024. These are the most important items within each and every one of our lives. I always look forward to the New Year as one never knows what is in front of us; however, there is nothing we can do about it; except take each day as it comes. It is the same with our racing pigeons; how many winners are in our loft at this time of the year, Only God Knows; and by this time next year...

At long last I have finished my book on the 50 Years of The Dewar Trophy Winners; which is awarded to Scotland’s ‘Pigeon of Year’. I have also tried to highlight the runners up as well but failed to obtain information on some of them. I was hoping to get the book out for Christmas, but unfortunately the printers were too busy and they will start printing after the festive season. All going well I hope to have it on sale at Blackpool Show in January. I have attached a photo of front cov...

Continuing with my articles on fanciers from the past; I came across and article done by Dale Newcombe of Mackmerry, which he called ‘A Royal Occasion’. He wrote; After appearing five times in the first five SNFC race results, I have finally made it, ‘Lady Diana’, with her wing flight perfect, homed to her chipping eggs t win Scotland’s Blue Riband Race, Rennes 1981. The race as it turned out was a complete test of courage and stamina with 22 out of a liberation of 6412 birds clock...

Received a photo from John Barlow who wrote; ‘Hi Joe, found this old photo and thought it might be of interest for one of your articles. It consists of George Corr, Johnny Currans, Ian Mac Donough, Tom Gallacher and George Campbell. This photo was taken at Chryston & District Homing Society prize presentation. This is the only club in the West of Scotland to have 2 SNFC Gold Cup winners since 1945. I reckon this photo was taken in the early 1980's; sadly, all the fanciers in the ph...

At this time of the year everything seams to dry up and I very seldom hear from fanciers either by phone or email. I think everyone just goes into hibernation and the weather does not help this either. So I have continued to look for something to keep the column going. As I’m doing a lot of recherché for my book on the Dewar Trophy winners which covers the past 50 years, I have found some articles written by Scottish National winner which I thought might be of interest to younger fancier...

The Joe Murphy Column There is not much news coming from clubs; federations etc. regarding prize winners, and it is therefore hard to keep the column going on a weekly basis. Hence the reason there was no column last week. So, I have decided to cover some of the outstanding pigeons and fanciers who have done well over the years especially at the distance racing which has a special place in my heart. So, with this in mind I start with an outstanding accomplishment of a pigeon flying 1000 m...
