A special thank you from Peter Phillips I have made many friends through pigeon racing over the years since I first started as a junior with my Father, joining the Ashburton Homing Club in 1955. So I will mention just a few. I first met Joe Phillips mid 1960's and we have been great mates ever since. Many thanks Joe for everything you have done for me and for all you do for the love of our chosen sport. Jackie Stevens in helping me build my loft and for his generosity for the quality birds he gave me and many others entering our sport. Jack Harrison, Ted Stanley, Tom Meehan, Jack Moody, and Ron Sheehan, we had great times together! Bill Bailey for the fun times we had both here and in Tassie. In recent years Les Fenton, John & Leanne Share became great friends and had success with my birds. Also Graeme Chapman from Geelong, Lindsay Brooks from Gippsland many thanks. And for those that I have purchased birds from recently. Thank you for your efforts sourcing the best of birds from around the world and taking the punt to bring them to Australia. Des Sippets WA, Steve Lucas - Victoria, Keith Saggers - Hillcrest Lofts, Alan Brown - Rivirera Lofts, George Desira - Ponderosa, Jack Vanderlinden - SA and Godfrey Weiss - Pioneer Lofts. A particular thank you to Les Fenton for putting up with my daily phone calls and helping me through tough times. To Alby Armstrong whose expertise in eye sign was invaluable in the selection of stock birds. Thank you. Last, but not least to Frank De Pasquale for his help and friendship over the past 8 years, without his tireless effort this sale would not have been possible. Of course, there are many more special flyers, and families of flyers who have not been mentioned, but please understand you have not been missed. You ALL are truly appreciated and you all know who you are. Finally, thank you ALL for sharing racing pigeons with me. It's been a great journey that unfortunately must come to an end. BEST OF LUCK with the birds! Sincerely Peter Phillips
