Eric Roef (61 years) retired and Lander De Voogt (10 years) from Geel (Antwerp).
In 2013, Eric started with pigeons, in the name of his deceased girlfriend Huygens Patricia from Hoboken.
This through father Alfons Roef, also a pigeon lover.
"In 2016, during the basketting in Hoboken, his 'Willemke' escaped from the basket, and I asked all pigeon enthusiasts from the local to leave except for the handlers. I managed to catch him, but I had a sleepless night, yet on Sunday I played 1st with my 'Willemke'."
