"making friends"
"If it was not for pigeons,
I would not have known you -
so, let us be friends for the sake of our hobby"

The Tall, short (and old) en beautiful.  Jan Coetzee was a small boy of 4 years  when the Snyman's became friends of the Coetzee's of Windhoek.  Today Jan and Kleintjie have their own grown up kids and the friendship is still strong and close.

He judged more than 120 pigeons of some 12 different breeds during the day and with the stress of being nominated as Senior Judge, Chris van der Walt just collapsed in his chair at the end of the day

Kobus Snyman, National Editor and Web Master of the SAFPA.  The ladies tied his Free State Region scarf as if he has a terrible flu. Then they dare him to publish these photos on the Internet and in the Magazine.
He has done so  - what now?
