At the request of fanciers and our clubs, starting from this season, FREE championships called "Samenspel Hageland" will be organized. This request came because the performance of old pigeons in short- and long-speed races declines significantly once the fanciers start competing in the 1/2 fond races and when they start with the young pigeons. These championships are FREE, and the champions will be honored at the local champion's day and receive a diploma. In this way, Samenspel Hageland hopes that the championships will last longer for these fanciers, and they will have a full-fledged championship. We hope that this initiative will keep more old pigeons in competition after the month of May! Fanciers of speed racing from the clubs Scherpenheuvel, Lubbeek, Tielt, and Bierbeek can compete against each other!
