Race Results incentive.

This year we are offering a free young bird of our choice for every customer who reports their results and re orders young birds for 2024. May it be a Club, Fed, Amal or a National result we want to hear it. Customers often ask what families are performing before they purchase their young birds. I would love to be able relay as much information as possible.
So far this season we’ve seen great performances from our Vandenabeele, Vandenabeele/Hooymans, Harlequins, Jan Aarden, Dirk van den Bulck/Jos Cools.
Big thank you to everyone who has already been in touch with me.
