1 Top Winning Reports 2005 We are pleased at Myrtle Lofts to have received a staggering amount of reported winners from fanciers racing our bloodlines. Unfortunately due to the large amount of Federation and Combine winners this year it would be totally impossible to put all these performances to print, but we would like to take this opportunity in thanking and congratulating all the winning fanciers concerned and we would also like to say we appreciate your time in sending us the information of your outstanding achievements. Best Regards Mark & Dick. Myrtle Lofts M.N.F.C. National Falaise 7,131 Birds Sue Clewlow ( S & G. Clewlow ) 1st MNFC National Car Winner With a.

3 M.N.F.C. National Alancon 6,540 Birds The second Midlands National race in 2005 from Alancon proved another great race for the M.N.F.C. members. The birds were liberated in an east wind in France and across the English channel which meant the main Open National positions would be dominant on the west side of England. This didn t stop the South Yorkshire loft of D & J. Hawkins put up an outstanding performance in the East Sections. Dave Hawkins holding their second 1st M.N.F.C. Section Winner this year 2005 Dave & John Hawkins Dunsville, South Yorkshire Winning 1st, 3rd, 4th, 8th, 12th, 15th, 18th N.E.

5 45th Open National - John Bate 49th Open National - John Bate. 64th Open National - G.S.Daykin,Son & Evans M & D. Evans Vandenabeele x Soontjen 85th Open National - Dave & John Hawkins M.N.F.C. National Tours 4,735 Birds. The third Midlands National race in 2005 from Tours proved to be one of the toughest M.N.F.C. Nationals for some time. The birds were liberated in a north east wind in France and on one of the hottest days for racing so far this year. The head winds, the heat and the distances between 350 to 480 miles prove too much for many of the birds entered. This resulting in some lofts not clocking any pigeons on the day. 3rd Open National Neale Turner & Son 8th Open National - John Bate

6 14th Open National - G.S.Daykin,Son & Evans M & D. Evans Vandenabeele x Soontjen 16th Open National D & J.
