Come along a view some absolutely outstanding pigeons and meet all your old friends. This auction is a culmination of a whole years work, we started our very successful Night of the Stars auctions a few years ago and we have now created the best auction of the year and certainly the biggest and best auction of the whole Blackpool Show weekend. Just as we have done in the past, we have put together another fabulous auction of the best pigeons possible and from the biggest and best selection of fanciers ever seen before under one roof. We realise that as usual there will be many auctions conducted over the Blackpool weekend and many of them will offer good pigeons but as we always do, we want our auctions to stand above the rest and we thought the best way to do this was to offer the UK fanciers the best possible selection of pigeons from the biggest names in the game. We once again insisted that all of this year s biggest names offer up something EXTRA special. We asked them to select the best handling pigeons that were bred from their best pigeons and put them to one side for this special auction. The

2 selection, as always had to be strict, UK fanciers demand the very best. Just as we do every year, we explained that the birds are going into a live auction where they will be handled and judged by the UK fancy, which is home to some of the best fanciers in the world and that if they were not good enough, they would be rejected no matter what they were bred from or from whose loft they came. We trusted each and every fancier to do the best for you. When they called us to tell us their selections and we have to say that once again each fancier really has come up with the goods. There is so much quality on offer from so many talented fanciers that it is impossible to say which Lot is the star of the auction. Indeed each and every Lot is a star on it s own. This is right up there with any of our previous Night Of The Stars auctions. We want to make it clear to all fanciers who might attend our auctions that there is absolutely no online bidding before the sale. Each and every pigeon has been brought to the auction to be sold in the sales hall at a price set by YOU. There is NO set starting bid and NO reserves, the crowd will dictate what they start and finish at, it is in short a traditional old fashioned live auction where you come and handle each bird, mark down the ones you fancy and you make the bids, simple! Come and join us and enjoy a great auction, in great company getting together with old friends and meeting new ones. What better way is there to enjoy your Blackpool weekend?
