Alan Christie (Geordie) – Alan, after a good few years out of the sport came back in
2012, it wasn’t until he retired in 2016 that he concentrated and got stuck back in to his
racing. To say he opened a few eyes with his outstanding performances would be a
understatement. From 2016 to 2019, 14 channel races were entered, these are some of his
results in the North West Lancashire Federation – 6th 7th 9th Fed Fourgeres 384 miles.
5th 15th 18th Fed 26th Three Counties Combine Coutances 4,893 birds 334 miles.
4th 10th 13th 15th Fed Carentan 317 miles. 1st 2nd 6th 15th 19th Fed Messac 416 miles.
20th Fed Carentan 317 miles. 1st 3rd Fed Ancencis. 1st Fed Countances. These are the only
results Alan can find but there were other top performances to go with them. Although this
team of birds are bred for the further distance races, they more than held their own at the
shorter channel races, they also performed inland winning the Portland Open Gold Ring race!!
Alan is a down-to-earth guy, so laid back but keen as mustard to compete at the further
distance races. His birds are just as relaxed, racing to the Open loft, he said they aren’t on any
particular method, I send them and they come. As I have said, Alan is wanting to go for the
long distance, his dream as is mine now, the Tarbes Grand National with the National Flying
Club. To strengthen his team for this, birds have been brought in from various sources but
scrupulously vetted to make sure he is happy with the new recruits. The lines of the Barcelona
International winners “Sumerian Fighter” “LIoyd” “New Laureaat” “The Special One” “Kleine
Jade” & “Jeff” are here. A son of “Covid” the winner of 1st UNC Roye. 3rd UNC Rheims,
regarded to be one of the best channel birds in UNC history. The best of the Marshall & Smith
lines through – “Jordy” & “Ice Diamond”. “Monar” “Southfield Melissa” “Golden Barcelona”
“Southfield Darren” “Wing Down” the list goes on, all from champion lines.
Alan is offering 2 x 2026 YB’s from any of the above lines, your pick. These will be quality
youngsters as this fancier will make sure that you get only the best he has, a great offer.
