The Bruges Barcelona Club is 47 years old this year, or rather, young.
The board is still bursting with energy and wants to do everything possible to immortalize the winners in the pigeon world.
You will join too, right? Don’t forget to register…
At the award ceremony taking place this year on October 19 in Hooglede, a celebration will be offered that will forever be etched in his/her memory.
It remains true that the “Golden Wing” continues to fascinate every long-distance player both domestically and abroad.
The Golden Wing, awarded annually to the winner from Barcelona with his/her first designated pigeon, is for the enthusiast usually the absolute highlight of his/her career.
There is only one enthusiast per year who can claim this exceptional honor.
There are no re-runs at this level, Barcelona, only once a year, and even a “easy flight” is still one of the hardest races to ever win.
Many dream of winning this classic one day.
From the very beginning, it was intended to create a club that was accessible to everyone and made no distinction between big and small.
Participation is allowed with only 1 pigeon and the entry fee must remain as low as possible.
This is to start everyone with equal chances in this unique competition.
That this formula has succeeded has been proven over the last 46 years.
Despite the decline in pigeon sport, the BBC can still count on +/- 850 members which indicates that the Belgian long-distance players still want to be part of it.
In the past, the BBC had great lofts or large fanciers who won but there were equally small fanciers, who no one had ever heard of, that took the prize.
Why wouldn’t you succeed, and know that the chance of winning is small, but by not participating, you have no chance at all…
