Letter to the editor from Filip Van den Bulck after winning the Melun race.
"I read on Saturday that Bart Obbels took his very first award from Melun in the federation Mechelen-Turnhout with the old pigeons.
Every winner likes to be highlighted. Unfortunately, I only know a few fanciers and Bart is one of them. For that reason, I would like to share some information about the man behind the pigeon fancier. He has only been playing with pigeons for a handful of years.
This ICT coordinator from the primary school in Grobbendonk is a real jack-of-all-trades. He also writes columns for Nnieuws.be on current issues, always worth reading! Furthermore, he is also one of the driving forces behind the supporters club Cees Bol, based in café 't Toreke in Bouwel. A report from the Belgian or Dutch television is not unfamiliar to them and also this year they were present at the start of the Tour in Denmark, even though the rider was absent due to a COVID case.
Did you know that one of Bart's most loyal supporters is Carl Engelen, former goalkeeper of Lierse SK? Together with some friends, they are always on site to await the pigeons on Saturday and Sunday. The results are then relayed to their Pigeon Club so that the rest can also stay informed. Finally, Sus deserves a mention. He sometimes takes the pigeons away when Bart deems it necessary.
Once again, a big congratulations to Bart and his entourage! Bart, greetings to all your pigeon friends! Celebrating won’t have been a problem.
Filip Van den Bulck"
