Frans Van Tilbourg
At the tender age of 85 what has this exceptional Sprint/Middle Distance Fancier from Putte not achieved? Everybody in the world knows the big names in Belgium and Holland. But there are many small players that can be sourced who also race exceptionally well, yes we have Janssen, Koopman, Houben, Ludo Claessens, Bosua, Van Dyck, Engels, Vandenabeele, Soontjens, Jos Thone and so many others. Frans Van Tilbourg has an electrifying record just not in his Club or Area but the North Antwerp Union with a membership of 2,000 +. Simply he has been crowned “THE KING” in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. On top of this in 2008 he had 1st & 2nd ACE Pigeon Yearlings, 1st ACE Young Bird and 2nd ACE O/Bird. Same story in 2009 with 1st & 2nd ACE Y/Birds, 2nd ACE Yearling and 1st ACE O/Birds. Remembering that this 85 year old small team fancier is competing against some exceptional names in that 2,000 strong NAV membership. Once again we are very privileged to have visited Frans Van Tilbourg during one of our trips to the Continent and purchased a superb consignment of Elite pigeons once again at exceptional cost. Many fanciers visiting our Stud have already commented when seeing the Van Tilbourgs.
