Ponderosa UK Stud Blue Riband Tarbes Race
1st Open 1st SE Section
John Tyerman of Bracklesham Bay
with “Brackbay Star”
Our longest old bird race of the season, the “Blue Riband” Tarbes race saw another good
entry with 156 members sending 662 birds. I absolutely love this race, as the reactions you
get from members when you telephone to say how well they have done is fantastic. You can
sense the feelings and emotions running through them and no two members are the same.
The London and South East Classic Club were transporting our birds, for which we will be
returning the favour for Bergerac. Ian and Rube contacted me on Friday morning to say that
they had a clear line of flight but the weather at Tarbes was overcast and they were waiting
for the sun to break through. Another telephone call came a little while later to say the birds
were up and away at 7am. Thank you to Rube and Ian for a good race and for looking after
the birds.
We were forecast to have heavy rain sweeping in from the west early evening and once it did
arrive I was feeling very doubtful for any day birds. By 8 o’clock the weather had really
closed in and I did wonder if any would arrive. I recalled last Friday when Dave Bullen and
the others timed in from Pau International when the conditions were just as bad and thought
it might be still possible. And possible it was with 4 gutsy pigeons making it home on the
winning day.
“Brackbay Star” made an appearance at 20:25:29 for John Tyerman of Bracklesham Bay
to take 1st Open 1st SE Section. I have been keeping pigeons since my boyhood days in
Dumfries, Scotland, as my late grandfather was a keen show homer enthusiast, and it was
inevitable that I would become interested in our feathered friends. In these early days I had
tipplers and tumblers, but when I married Linda in l968 we moved to Earlston Police Station
in the Scottish Borders where I acquired a racing loft and a number of birds bred by my old
friend the late Joe Newcombe. (Brother to Eddie now living in Malta) I also had the old
Kirkpatrick based pigeons from the late John Carmichael, and birds from top Annan
fanciers, through my colleague George Jackson. These were blended together and took some
top positions in distance racing with the SNFC. We also had the first Scottish pigeon to be
recorded from NFC Pau flying over 884 miles.
A career move to Hong Kong meant no pigeons for 4 years but on my return we settled in
Dorking, Surrey and again I had pigeons from John Carmichael, Andy Wilson and John
Robertson all top Scottish fanciers. They were blended together over the years and in
the mid nineties my good friend Ron Dodd secured some top stock for me from the late Eric
Cannon. They too were blended in with my other family and over the years have been
responsible for many top prizes in distance racing with the BICC and NFC. Pigeons like
"Decimal Lady" who was 2nd open LSECC Bordeaux, "Dorking Supreme" who won 21st
NFC Pau and then 22nd Classic Pau, "Rainbow lady" who won the Bromley Anglo-French
open race from St Jean De Luz, timed 2nd morning just after 7am in pouring rain. The
family excel at the longer races and over the years well over 150 prizes have been won in
Classic, National and BICC International races.
When I moved to Bracklesham some 12 years ago many said I would regret moving close to
the sea as it often means birds have to dog-leg back along the coast, and I have found this to
be the case. However, good positions continue to be won from this location and my good
"Barcelona Cock" has taken, 5th BICC & 7th BICC Barcelona and 15th BICC Perpignan
flying to the lofts here. In the Barcelona Challenge, run by John and Lou McGee in France I
had 6 birds to score in the first 31 home from Barcelona flying 625 miles.
This season, due to serious health issues I changed from natural flying to a form of
roundabout/celibacy with cocks and hens parted most of the time and only allowed together
when they return from a race. They seem a lot fitter and have been raced/trained both on the
North and South Road and losses have been minimal. I am a member of the Chichester NR
Club and use the Southampton North Road Fed for training and am grateful to Sally Osborne
and her helpers who basket up for me on Fed race nights at Havant. I am also a member of
the Bognor and Chichester SR Club and fly with the Solent Federation, BICC, BBC and
NFC. I never do too well in club events but this does not bother me and I much prefer the
longer races.
The Tarbes winner now named "Brackbay Star" is a two year old blue bar hen and she is
bred down from all my best pigeons being a Grandaughter of the "Barcelona Cock." She was
not raced as a young bird but flew 6 races on the North to 240 miles and was always
consistent. This year she flew Leicester then turned South to Fougeres and two weeks ago
was almost 10 hours on the wing from BBC Poitiers. She was one of 5 sent to Tarbes Classic
and after the 7am lib into a North wind dropped onto the loft at 8-25pm. It was wet, very
dull and the light was fading, so I had to put the loft lights on to encourage her to come in.
She immediately flew to her box and her 10 year old mate and seemed none the worse for
her 521 mile fly.
I am one of the founder members of the London and South East Classic Club and a past
President. I have also served on the NFC Committee for a number of years and am currently
a Vice President and Race Advisor with the BICC having been a member since the early
eighties.
During the winter months I was quite ill and on a five month course of chemo and other
drugs, so I would like to pay tribute to my wife Linda who religiously looked after and
cleaned out the birds, as without her help I know I would not have been able to continue.
I would like to thank the marking team at Southampton for all their hard work and also the
many fanciers/friends who have telephoned or emailed me with congratulations on the
Tarbes win.
John Tyerman with “Brackbay Star”
2nd Open 2nd SE Section goes to “Mr Anniversary Waltz” himself Tony Leggatt of
Havant. I would like to say a big thank you to all the well wishers and fanciers alike, taking
the time to call me on the result of such a great race, and of course Congratulations to the
winner Mr John Tyerman.
My 2nd Open 2nd Section pigeon from Tarbes has been bred through my own Southwell
distance strain and has now been named "Arnolds Star".
He is a 3 year old chequer pied cock, who as a yearling landed me a 94th Open 38th Section
A from Bordeaux BBC. He then went on to win 25th Open 10th South East Section Classic
from Tarbes.
This year he trained especially for this race and has done me proud.

Tony Leggatt with Grandchildren Rebekah and Mitchell Leggatt.
The partnership of Keith Ashley and Mike Perkins from Eastleigh take the 3rd Open 3rd
SE Section spot. We started up together in 2004 when Keith who was near retirement
decided he wanted to race pigeons again, after being many years away from the sport. I was
at work when asked by our friend Alex Wiseman if I would go round the road and help
Keith get set up. Which after giving up the sport 5 years previous, I thought why not, it
would be a great challenge and a bit of fun to watch birds come home again as I was due to
retire.
We joined Sholing Racing Pigeon Club and started to think about birds. I saw an advert in
the Homing World by Peter Reeves from Owslebury, Jan Aardens for sale at the right price
and he only lived just up the road from us.
I selected 6 pairs of various ages that had never flown out and that was the start. We bred 10
later bred birds and managed to get them into a young bird race. The next year we won a
couple of races and then never looked back.
I swapped the pairings around and bred two rounds off each before trying to break them in,
unfortunately we only managed 50%. We obtained a few birds from Alex Wiseman
his Marriot strain, still keeping the Jan Aarden's as a seperate strain.
In 2006 I bought 8 pairs of Jan Aarden's from Steve Wright (The House Of Aarden)
which we crossed into the ones from Peter Reeves and we just grew stronger and stronger
when in the end we were winning from Kingsdown to Bergerac and just enjoying the birds
flying around the loft.
We have kept the Jan Aarden strain pure, with only two birds now left in the loft that been
crossed out, which our Red Hen GB06 N61198 is one of them and she is a Jan Aarden x
Marriot. Her Sire is a red cock given to us by Alex bred from his Dax International pigeon.
Her Dam is bred by us from the Jan Aardens we bought from Peter Reeves. She has always
been a reliable race bird. As a yearling she arrived home on the day from a very hard Classic
race when there were only a few home on the day. We thought then that she might turn out
to be something special but we never seem to get her right till this year. She has had two
short races this year Carentan and Fougeres, then sent to Tarbes sitting 10 day old eggs. Her
nest mate GB06 N 61194 has been 85th open Tarbes. Our second bird is pure Jan
Aarden, he also has only had two short races.
We pair up on St Valentine's day and train quite vigorously till the birds reach 250 miles
racing, then let the selected racing and flying round the loft keep them fit.
Keith Ashley and Mike Perkins.
Taking 4th Open 4th SE Section is my brother in law Bill Norman from Southampton.
Any body who knows Bill will definitely agree it couldn’t of happened to a nicer guy.
Bill timed “Pretty Hen” at 21:11:31 flying 536 miles racing to her 5 day old youngster and
was the last of the four timed on the winning day. “Pretty Hen” was so called because that’s
how she has always been referred to. Robbie Jones on visiting Bill’s lofts always picks her
out. Bill was over the moon when she dropped, he knew what a great achievement it was
timing on such a filthy night. She is a half Delbar crossed Janssen x Van den Bosche. The
Sire is a blue pied Delbar and was bred by Martin, Clare and Jack Norman and is a brother to
their cock bird “Jack the Lad” who was also timed on the day from Tarbes 2008 and 14 days
later being one of only 38 on the day from BBC Bordeaux which was a very difficult race
and timed the following season at 21:00 hrs taking 64th Open BBC Bordeaux. The breeding
is Graham Matthews from Titchfield.
The Van Den Bosche comes down from Bill’s number 65 cock who was a very good racer.
He was bred by friends Tony and Ingrid Jurd. His racing highlight was being a single entry
to Bergerac and was 2nd Section 43rd Open winning about £1000 that day. His real potential
was realised in the stock loft, siring countless winners also Grandsire to many winners.
The Janssen in “Pretty Hen”s pedigree is from Bill’s great friend Jack Beggs. Jack’s Janssen
family have run through Bill’s loft for many years.
Some of Robbie Jones’ birds have found their way to the Norman loft and have produced
many winners. Robbie also being a very good friend.
Bill would like to congratulate the other fanciers who timed on the day and thank everybody
that has congratulated him.
Bill Norman.
One name that always sticks out year after year at Tarbes is Les Kidd of New Milton. Every
season Les gives a brilliant team performance. For 2011 he is 5th and 9th Open with his
first two and showing 42nd 45th, 81st and 86th Open with his other 4 birds.
First of all I would like to congratulate the 4 gallant pigeons who made it on the night. When
morning arrived with low cloud and drizzle, I did not think any pigeons would be moving
this early and then my pied hen landed at 5.35am.
She is a direct daughter of my 8th Open Barcelona cock, who also came in the drizzling rain
from Barcelona in 2008. The hen was also 32nd Open last year and is bred down from my old
family of Ian Benstead and John Wills, the old London Sheppard family.
I would like to say well done to all the fanciers who timed in.
Les Kidd.
Dave Wells of Bordon is lying in the 6th Open position with a yearling chequer cock. Dave
said he was very surprised to get a bird in the morning at 10 past 6, what with the bad British
weather. The Dam of this bird won the yearling cup from Tarbes in 2010 and it looks as
though the Son is going to follow suit in 2011. He has had 4 races for the build up to Tarbes
and Dave clocked him from BBC Poitiers 2 weeks ago flying 318 miles. He was sitting 14
days and then a youngster was put under him.
Daves passion is the long distance races and he gets a lot of enjoyment seeing a pigeon drop
from 500 miles +.
Dave would like to thank Clare Norman for the work she does.
Dave and Jackie Wells.
7th , 8th , 10th , 11th , 18th and 23rd Open is the Japanese Sniper Andy Parsons of Salisbury.
I have just had the best weekend with pigeons since 2001, as I just clocked 10 out of 13 from
Tarbes and these are the details of the first 4 birds, all of which could have topped the
section.
1st bird: Dam bred from a George Burgess cock crossed with a Mick Rumbold hen which
was sent over to my good friend Nick Smith to put with one of his best cocks. This hen from
that mating has won a position in the first 40 in a short channel race with the NFC. She has
also flown 4 times Tarbes including being clocked in last years NFC race.
2nd bird. This is a two year old cock. The Sire was 3 times Tarbes and 33rd Palamos and is a
son of my old stock hen which is a granddaughter of “Culmergold”. He was paired to a good
hen from the Burgess cock which was 38th San Sebastian race with the NFC. The Dam is
also a granddaughter of 4th Open Palamos in 2001 and 1st Section 8th Open San Sebastian
NFC 2001.
3rd bird. Sire being a son from a brother/sister mating off 2 day birds in 2008 Tarbes. These
again from my good Cannon hen when paired to a red Burgess cock. The Dam of the 3rd
pigeon is a Hagen hen.
4th bird. This is a 2 year old late bred and this was the 4th race of her life, it is bred from a
cock purchased at the Mr Nethercott sale and is of Cannon/Fairbrother breeding. It was
paired a daughter of G Burgess's 8th Open Pau.
All these pigeons were sent on early eggs.
I know you will all join me in congratulating Andy on a fantastic performance in the Classic
Tarbes race and the BBC Palamos race timing 2 birds on the winning day to finish
provisional 3rd and 5th Open.
Andy Parsons.
Here are two fanciers that deserve a very special mention. Brian (or Fred as he likes to be
known) and Will Hayles from Calbourne on the Isle Of Wight 12th , 13th , 14th and 30th
Open. Fred timed 3 pigeons in just over 3 and a half minutes. His first at 7.08, his 2nd and
3rd at 7.12 and his 4th at 9.02. Add to that, his entry was 4 birds. That is excellent flying by
anyone’s standards.
Fred’s first bird is a Deweerdt cross which on 11th June was 4th Solent Federation Fougeres.
She is a full sister to “Doms Girl” 10th Open Bergerac for Graham Rann and Daughters.
I don’t know much about Fred but a lot of fanciers say he is a smashing bloke. A little birdie
told me that in Fred’s spare time he does a bit of modelling (not the airfix plane type either).
I have it on good terms that Fred posed only wearing a “pigeon” for a Calendar to raise
money for someone that got injured in a cycling accident.
Fred and Will Hayles.
15th Open Owers Brothers from Bere Regis. George and Pete Owers have been in
partnership for approximately 3 years and race from George’s home in Bere Regis.
The birds are flown on the natural system. The pigeon they clocked from Tarbes is a blue
pied Busschaert cock bred by Tony Phillips of Weymouth. They bought this pigeon at the
Weydor breeder/buyer in 2007. It flew consistently as a young bird and as a yearling was
sent to the Club races with the Dorset Federation.
In 2009 it was sent to CSCFC Bergerac and was 89th Open 38th SW Section 426 miles. He
also went to BBC Bordeaux and was 41st Open 3rd Section flying 411 miles winning the
Weydor Specialist Club on this race.
George has kept a record and this pigeon has flew over 2000 miles in this year alone.
In 2010 he was sent to CSCFC Messac 108th Open 30th SW Section and also went on to
CSCFC Bergerac where he was 16th Open 6th SW Section, again winning the Weydor
Specialist Club and CSCFC Tarbes but came home on the second day.
This season he has been sent to CSCFC Carentan, BBC Messac, CSCFC Messac, NFC
Cholet and BBC Poitiers with 9 hours on the wing, then on again to Tarbes where he was
feeding a big youngster and driving his hen to nest.
George and Pete feed the birds on Willsbridge No2 with a few peanuts. Training is done
twice a week from Sandbanks which is about 15 miles.
They have also cross nominated their bird in to the Dorset Federation and have won the
Golden Jubilee race as well.
George and Pete would like to thank Dave Davies for taking the birds to the marking station,
Charlie Riley for his help and support and finally the Officials from the Weymouth Clock
Station and Weydor Specialist Club.
(thank you to Chris White for this report).
George Owers.
The first NE member to verify taking 1st, 4th and 5th NE was Jack and Sally Baden from
Swindon.
We have been in pigeons some twenty odd years now. Flying local birds from local flyers,
namely Colin Croucher Busschaerts and Derek Vardy gift birds of the same strain but from
his old Shy Lass family, on widowhood. We have in recent years crossed some distance
blood in to our lofts and it is nice it is showing through.
Our first bird was a Hartog Van Loon/ Shy Lass cross that has been very reliable this season.
He flew the Messac Classic earlier this season finishing 19th Section 92nd Open. Our second
and third birds also flew the Messac Classic and the second one has been as keen as mustard
this year. We were very pleased with him and the third pigeon who we know will be
somewhere handy, duly turned up for us.
Jack and Sally Baden.
Stuart Luff & Phil Walker leading the N.W Section and 19th Open flying a distance of
597 Miles with“Chester” a 4 year old Blue Pied Cock. Busschaert x Deweerdt x Vangeel,
prize winner from 80 – 500 miles including 3rd N.W Sect, 15th Open CSCFC Bergerac 2010,
following this race it has always been the plan to send “Chester” to Tarbes this season. Sent
to the race having just pushed up his first flight.
Chester’s Sire is “V100” a top racing cock winner of numerous prizes including
2nd N.W Sect, 42nd Open CSCFC Cholet, 4th Sect, 36th Open CSCFC Bergerac. Bred from
gift birds from Stan Dangerfield & Ivan Hofton. Dam is pure Van Geel bred by Llouella
Pigeon World.
The loft has shown a bit of form in classic & national races this season being 5 th Sect, 89th
Open CSCFC Messac. 4th Sect, 49th Open and 10th Sect, 78th Open BBC Poitiers.
This topped with probable 1st, 11th & 13th N.W Section in this Tarbes Race.
The partnership race cocks only on the classic widowhood system with some variations.
Having experimented with various mixtures over the last couple of seasons, we have now
settled on a combination of Versa Laga mixtures.
The cocks are never given a break down mixture, only a lighter mixture on their return. The
Race birds & stock birds are paired at Christmas, breeding one youngster each, then parted
and re-paired to coincide with the race programme; this helps them to hold their flights until
late in the season.
The cocks are exercised around the loft for 1hr morning and evening, with Stuart in charge
morning and Phil in charge evenings. The birds are never trained after the first race. The
hens are fed on barley until the day before they are shown to the cocks; the cocks are given
the hens prior to basketing for all races.
We would like to thank Stan Dangerfield for his generosity with gift birds over many years,
also good friends, Anner Smith and Dave Fox for taking our birds to the marking stations.
Stuart Luff and Phil Walker (holding Chester).

Tony Miessner of Ledbury has the NW Runners Up position and 24th Open. Firstly, I
would like to congratulate John Tyerman on flying a tremendous pigeon on the day from
Tarbes and also the other 3 fanciers for timing on the day. I would also like to congratulate
Stuart Luff and Phil Walker for winning the North West Section.
My first pigeon timed in is a 3 year old widowhood cock which has had a fair few Club
positions in the past but became injured last year and didn’t race very much that season. He
is bred from a pair of stock birds that I purchased from Mark James’ family of pigeons, of
Wye View Lofts, Joy’s Green, Forest of Dean.
This pigeon is now named Patience619, after a good friend of mine Geoff Cooper
encouraged me to take my time and have more patience with my pigeons. This has now paid
off, so many thanks to Geoff and Catherine Cooper.
I also timed in 2 other pigeons making a total return of 3 out of 4 birds flying 619 miles 619
yards. One of these pigeons is a yearling which is the Son of my first pigeon, what a family!
All of my pigeons timed in today are from stock birds from Mark James’ family of pigeons.
I would also like to thank Mark Dorrington of Litton and David Bullingham of Stroud for all
their support and generosity. A thank you also to all my Club mates at Ross and District
Flying Club.
Well done to all fanciers that timed in from Tarbes and most importantly many thanks to my
wife Karly for all her hard work with the pigeons.
Tony and Karly Miessner.
R J Goddard and Son of Reading 2nd NE Section 27th Open. Well, here’s a very modest
man. I asked him for some details and he only sent me a couple of lines.
Dave has a hat full of long distance performances to his credit and I am sure it won’t be long
before he wins Palamos.
Dave only joined the Classic 2 weeks before Tarbes, but has scored straight away. His 2 year
old blue hen was sent on a 5 day old youngster. She was raced very lightly in preparation for
this Tarbes with the Camrose RPC Carentan and Fougeres twice. She is bred from
“Rebecca” 3rd Open BBC Palamos.
Hopefully next time we will get a bit more background on Dave and his birds.
Thank you to the markers and helpers at all the marking stations and to Robbie Jones, Martin
and Bill Norman for collecting the crates from Dorking on such an awful evening.
CONVOYER’S REPORT
My assistant for the Tarbes race, Ian Mead and I dropped off empty baskets at the marking
stations the day before marking. On marking day we picked up pigeons at South Ockendon
and Maidstone arriving at Leatherhead at 11.45hrs for the final pick up. All the birds were
watered at the marking stations. We set off for Southampton to pick up the C.S.C.F.C. birds
at 12.45hrs and arrived at the marking station at 14.30hrs. The whole convoy were lightly
fed and watered at Portsmouth docks and we sailed for Caen at 22.45hrs. Docking in France
at 05.45hrs, we were soon on the road and arrived at motorway services south of Bordeaux
for our night stop at 15.45hrs and the birds were fed at 17.00hrs. Next morning we were on
the road early and arrived at the Tarbes Geant Casino Supermarket liberation site at
11.30hrs, to the welcoming site of blue sky and sun shine, in fact the weather conditions for
our whole run through France was brilliant. I rang Steve Appleby at 19.00hrs and he gave
me a line of flight weather report for the Friday and said it looked good for a liberation.
I awoke at 04.30hrs on the Friday morning to a 100% over cast sky at Tarbes and after
getting a good flight line weather report at 05.00hrs from Steve Appleby back in Guildford, I
decided the race was on when the cloud had cleared. The weather cleared by 06.45hrs and I
cut the strings and liberated the convoy at 07.00hrs in no wind. The birds cleared instantly
and headed in a northerly direction. The weather conditions on our drive back to Caen docks
were perfect for 550 mile racing and the wind picked up to be light North West on route.
Thanks to Ian Mead and Steve Appleby for their very hard work on this the longest old bird
Classic race! I would like to add that the new ventilated curtains on the L&SECC transporter
are brilliant and have improved the vehicle no end. When ever we stopped and opened the
back of the transporter the pigeon racking area was cool and dust free. A great job!
