(20/05/2011) An introduction to Geoff & Catherine Cooper of Peasdown St John

I have been racing pigeons since I was 13 years old, and have been racing National races since I was twenty. I had some success, twice winning the Section from Palamos 701 miles, being 2nd & 6th Open, and 1st National FC Section G from Nantes. In those days I was racing Natural, with birds from fanciers such as Reg Venner from Street and Trueman Dickens Wells. Things changed for me in the 1980’s when I started to fly the Widowhood system as seen on the continent.
