The Fancy Pigeon 2 Die Sierduif

Redakteur/EditorChristo Munnik

Septembermaand word baie die mooiste maand genoem omdat dit die begin van die lenteseiso-en is, of so was dit altyd toe ek en jy nog jonger was. Die eerste September was altyd lentedag by die skool dan kon jy gewone klere (sivies) skool toe dra en dan het die meisies rond gedartel in hulle mooi rokkies. Dit was lekker dae maar nou weet ek nie meer van September se begin van lente nie want hier by my lyk dit of dit nou herfs is soos die bome blare afgooi of is dit maar net KwaZu-lu-Natal wat so lyk.

Waaroor ek so opgewonde is soos

‘n kind wat ‘n roomys kry, is die feit dat daar vir die eerste keer in meer as twee jaar weer duiwe op eiers sit in my hokke. Genade, ek is bly hoor. Ek het vir meer as twee jaar my dood gesukkel met siek duiwe wat net nie wou aanpas hier in die omgewing nie. Ek het seker by ‘n honderd duiwe verloor aan siektes wat ek nooit geken het nie want ek het in die Vrystaat nooit medikasie gegee nie want daar was nie siek duiwe nie.

Terug by die ou boekie van ons. Eerstens weer dankie aan die lede wat artikels instuur en asseblief vir nog want ek het geen artike-ls vir die volgende nuusbrief nie. Die lede wat nie artikels instuur nie oorweeg dit tog asseblief om iets te skryf. Ek gaan maar weer probeer om artikels te plaas van ons lede se doen en late en ek sal lukraak elke maand ‘n lid vra om iets oor hom/haarself te skryf met so twee fotos wat ek daarby kan plaas.

Ek het verlede maand gevra lede moet asseblief vir my terugvo-ering gee oor klein advertensies in die Sierduif van hom/haar self maar niemand het reaksie getoon nie dink tog maar asseblief mooi en stuur vir my wat julle daarvan dink asseblief.

The Fancy Pigeon 3 Die Sierduif

Daar is op die SA’s te Bfn ‘n bestuur saamgestel. Vir my is dit oudmodies om ‘n bestuur in terme van “vlakke van be-langrikheid” te sien, ‘n bestuur is nie ‘n ranglys van belangrikheid nie, eerder ‘n reeks taakgelastigdes met take wat by hulle vermoëns/persoonlikheid pas.

Die bestuur is: Voorsitter: Christo Britz: Ek sal insette lewer en die vergaderings lei, maar die inisiatief berus by die lede. Alleen kan en wil ek nie aan die klub werk nie.Onder voorsitter: Charl Naude: Bemarking, kommuniksie en idees vir uitbouing. Ons wag angstig op wat jy vir ons gaan uitdink, hoe lyk dit met ‘n kwartaallikse nuusbrief? Sekretaris/Tesourier:

Tumbler Club NewsSubmitted by Christo Britz

Bertie Wessels: Geldsake en admin, ek glo nie daar is ‘n beter persoon hiervoor in die SASV nie!Addisionele lede: Koot SerfonteinJas v Niekerk.

Ek sien dit as ‘n tydelike bestuur, WANT eerstens moet die bestuur opbetaal-de lede van die Tuimelaarklub wees. Ek het my R30 reeds inbetaal en sal dit waardeer as elkeen dieselfde kan doen. Betaal dit sommer vandag nog in die SASV se rekening en sit “TC” by jou verwysing. Bertie as ek nadat jy die bankstate gekry het net kan hoor wie het aangesluit, sal ek seker maak dat daar met hulle gekontak word. Ek is onseker of daar ‘n amptelike Tuimelaarklub logo bestaan? As iemand van een weet, laat weet my asb. Ek het ou boeke en fo-tos van die Tuimelaarklub gekry wat ek sal gebruik om oor tyd die geskiedenis van die Tuimelaarklub te ontrafel, enige hulp en bydraes sal waardeer word. Met die afsterwe van Stewart Patterson het ons massas inligting verloor. Wie weet byvoorbeeld wat die geskiedenis agter die trofees in die klub is? Ons sal as klub moet besin wat ons rol en funksie in die toekoms behoort te wees.

Boxbeak:Ek het die laaste tyd geweldige teenstry-dige gevoelens oor Boxbeak gehad. Kom ons kyk na van die positiewes en negatiewes:

Boxbeak het ‘n geskiedenis en rekords. Of mense daarvan hou aldan nie, daar is tog waarde in geskiedenis. Die feit dat soveel van die Boxbeak doen en late op-geteken is, is ‘n groot aanwins.Die naam is internasionaal bekend en

sep is uniek.

Negatief is dat daar weinig belangstelling binne Suid Afrika is om dit te laat werk.

My gevoel is dat Boxbeak as skou/scroll of fame selfstandig moet voortbestaan, maar dat kommunikasie soos byvoor-beeld die “WhatsApp” groep verander moet word na die “SASV se amptelike tuimelaar kommunikasiegroep”. Op die groep sal die volgende (vrywillige) deel-nemers wees: Opbetaalde TC lede, Senior beoordelaars en die Nasionale Beoordelaarsbeampte.

Ek heg dan ook ‘n skou-uitgawe van Box-beak aan. Ek sal dit opdateer met meer fotos in die toekoms, wees asseblief so gaaf om vir my fotos te verskaf van die duiwe wat geskou was.

Welcome to the 2018 Boxbeak Chal-lenge. Our judge, Felice Esposito, is no stranger to our shores and was part of the judging panel of the 2010 Boxbeak Chal-lenge. He is the President of the Tumbler Club of Australia since 2003, has been awarded Masterbreeder in Australia and is a respected international judge. He is a great friend of the South African Fancy and we appreciate his willingness to trav-el at his own expense (for a second time) to be our judge on the day.

Felice sent the following message: “I would like for you to convey how priv-ileged I am to be invited to judge your show. I am looking forward to judging some of the best Tumblers in the world

Bloemfontein 4 July 2018

and meet some of the names I have come to know, see some familiar faces and spend time with my friend Christo Britz, a true legend and one of the main driving forces in Longface Tumblers in the world today. I am counting the days and looking forward to meeting some tumbler fanatics. Felice Esposito”I received this photo from Felice, taken at the 2010 Boxbeak Challenge.

Before I get to the judging, allow me to share a few throw-back photos from yes-teryear: Faded, Almond & Whiteside are factors & markings we have lost in South Africa.

Judges:We would like to thank the following judg-es:2008 - Stewart Patterson

“Hy het miskien sy nek gebreek, maar my man het ruggraat.” Só sê die 32 jaar lange eggenoot van ‘n kwadrupleeg, Si-mon Jordaan, wat sedert ‘n ongeluk op die ouderdom van 20 verlam is.

Simon het tydens ‘n ontspanningsessie in 1981, by ‘n oord naby Pelindaba in Gauteng in die bodem van ‘n swembad vasgeduik en sy nek gebreek. Strydig met wat ‘n mens sou verwag, het hy na die ongeluk “begin lewe”. “Ek het ge-lewe vir die wêreld en wat gebeur as die wêreld jou klaar gebruik het? Hy spoeg jou uit,” sê Simon.

Hy was ‘n kranige stoeier en in sy Noord-Transvaalse kleure het iemand hom omelke hoek en draai begroet. “Ek het ged-ink ek het vriende,” vertel Simon. “Maar waar was hulle die dag toe ek my ver-

moë om te beweeg verloor het? Hulle het langs my by die swembad gestaan waar ek hulpeloos gelê het en vir my gesê ek moet opstaan. Maar ek kon nie. Drie dae later het ek wakker geword, en hulle was weg. En dit is hoekom jy nie vir ander mense of vir die wêreld moet lewe nie,” vertel hy. Hy weier dat dít hom onderkry.

Simon en sy vrou Susann bly in harmo-nie saam by ‘n kleinhoewe skuins voor Karula Hotel op die R538 Yaverland-pad.Met Laevelder se aankoms op ‘n koue Saterdagmiddag bied die joernalis aan om die ou inhakhek oop te maak, maar nee... In sy elektriese rolstoel, dik in wintersklere getooi, maak Simon op sy aangepaste manier die hek sonder suk-kel oop - wat indrukwekkend is, aange-sien sy beweging in sy arms tot sy ge-wrigte beperk is, en hy glad nie sy hande

Well, let me start by saying thank you for inviting me to judge Tumblers at the South African National Pigeon Show. The last time I was in Africa was in 2010 and enjoyed my time on Safari and judging. I was eager to come back in 2014, how-ever with my hips getting worse, I could not make the 2014 trip and ultimately had both hips done. Having decided that we once again planned another trip on Safari. Taking some friends along with me for their fi rst time to Africa, we had an experience that no matter how many times you may go, is always different and exciting. We had a fantastic time.

Well, on with the show... Getting from Kruger with temperatures ranging from 26°C to 30°C was a warm welcome compared to Winter in Mel-bourne. In saying that, driving eight hours at the end of our trip to arrive in Bloemfontein with the night being -7°C

Judging South African National Pigeon Show 4-6 july 2018Submitted by Felice Esposito

was a shock to the body and made me feel right at home. The next morning ar-riving early to the Poultry Pavilion was as cold as ice; two pairs of socks, two pairs of pants, three jumpers and a jacket seemed to do the trick; though my hands were like ice blocks. I had the pleasure of stewarding for Christo Britz in the morning which gave us an opportunity to warm up before judging Tumblers. See-ing Brad Turner from Australia there was also a pleasure as he judged Nuns, Fan-tails and Frills.

TUMBLERS: 70 Tumblers shown with a few classes consisting of 7 birds with tight competition.

Champion Marked Muffed Opalbar, dis-appointing to see only one showing. Quality wise, nice station smooth feath-er good top skull and eye placement. Though lacking in muffs, beak substance and long. Hopefully that Dr. Koot Serfon-tein keeps that line going.

Champion Marked Cleanlegged was a young Yellow Bald hen. Must be the best

yellow bald I have ever seen. Quality wise, was as good as most balds getting around. Condition was a little down, but an easy winner. Owned by Charl Naudé. Also a beautiful dun, with a nice team of balds shown.

Best Muffed was a Black old cock also owned by Charl Naudé. He was nice and short, smooth feather. Needed a little

more headpower and beak substance but the size a Tumbler should be. Strong powerful birds shown but all too big with no style or station. This is not what is re-quired as a Tumbler. The Black Muffed also went on to be Reserve Champion of

show.Clean legs approximately 40 shown with a mixture in types many had great heads but were long, tall and lacking style. In saying that there were some excellent classes, making me sweat a little to pick a champion. These birds were all simi-lar and I knew that these were from the same family.

Champion Cleanlegged and overall Grand Champion was a small Brown Bar young hen owned by Christo Britz. This to me was a perfect Tumbler in all aspects. Short, cobby, power, beak, eye

placement, top skull- she had the lot. They have defi nitely improved from my last visit in 2010. These would compete anywhere in the world that I have seen on my travels.

SPECIAL MENTION: A nice Black Cleanlegged from Bertie Wessels. A very classy bird, had the lot almost but was put off by the length of legs. Lovely bird, but just not right. This Tumbler was pushing for best Cleanlegged against the brown bar but lost due to the length of legs.

CONCLUSION: From what I had shown in front of me, I can see that many Tum-blers are getting too big, long and no style or station. This being more import-ant in a Tumbler than having great head power only. These types are not what the standards call for. They need to be short, cobby and have station, as we all know,

days of head hunters are over I say.

Advice to the breeders is that there are some good quality Tumblers in South Africa and recommend possibly getting your hands on a few shorter birds and improve the bodies on your birds. In say-ing that there are great Tumblers getting around to breed outstanding Tumblers. We are all striving to do this and we all love the challenge no doubt.

Christo Britz’s Tumblers were all stand-outs compared to others showing. Short, compact and powerful birds. Thank you for inviting me to judge as I really enjoyed myself, great birds, great people and great friends. I hope to be back in a few years, God willing, to see the progress made.

Vir die eerste keer het Noord-van-die -Vaal Streek duiwe op Thabazimbi se landbouskou, 26 tot 28 Julie 2018, ver-toon. Die skoubestuur daar het Benard gekontak en gevra dat ons duiwe saam met die hoenders van die Rustenburg klub vertoon.

Ses SASV lede en twee nie lede het 51 duiwe in 16 rasse vertoon. Nou nie baie

Sierduiwe op Thabazimbi Landbouskou Ingestuur deur Willie van Zyl

nie maar dit was ‘n treffer onder die skou gangers. Redelik belangstelling vernaam onder die pluimvee lede. Bestellings is geplaas.

Dankie aan Dawie Snyman, sy seuns, en Jan en Hendrik van die pluimvee lede wat die hokke van Rustenburg aangery en opgeslaan het.

Dit was ‘n ware ondervinding om op die platteland en in die bosveld te skou. Daar was heelwat wild wat op die veiling te koop was, pragtig om dit te sien. Beeste skape en bokke was ook baie. Die at-mosfeer was heel anders as op die laas-te paar skoue in Pretoria, die besoekers ook beslis meer.Die duiwe was net Vrydag en Saterdag vertoon. Vrydagaand het die vertoners van die hoenders en duiwe gratis op ‘n oord so 12 km buite Thabazimbi oornag waar ons die aand ook op ‘n gesellige wyse onthaal is. Gaan ons weer!! Bes-lis. Die uitnodiging is reeds ontvang en planne vir verbetering is reeds daar be-spreek. Die 186 kilos wat ek gery het hier van die huis af was die moeite werd. Be-nard en Nollie het verder gery.

Ons het ‘n klein beoordeling gehou, die skou het vir ons ‘n aantal rosette gegee, vir raswenners ens. Die beste duif op die skou was ‘n American Show Racer van Benard.

Die plaaslike koerant het fotos van al die raswenners geneem en ek moes ‘n artikel vir hulle doen. Nogmaals dankie Dawie. Voorspoed met die teelseisoen. In Preto-

ria begin die bevrugde eiers en kleintjies nou, 17 Augustus 2018, in die neste kom.
