The BHW Show of the Year 2018 took place in Blackpool over the weekend 20th-21st January.

The largest gathering of pigeon fanciers in the UK descended on the Winter Gardens for the two-day event that has something for everyone, whether you are a veteran flyer, new member, or just curious about pigeons, from trade stands, talks, films and auctions, to the main event: the showing and judging of over 2000 of the top pigeons in the country.

The show is one of the largest in the world, regularly attracting 25,000 visitors, and the profits are donated to a variety of charities.

The results were as follows (subject to ring verification etc) – our congratulations to all of the winners:
Trophy Winners
Class Winners
Full Class Results
