The Journal has long been an important part of the pigeon sport in this country. It is a vehicle by which all pigeon fanciers can learn and hopefully improve their pigeons and performances, acknowledge the performances of others, express views and ideas for the future development of the sport, and keep up to date with the goings on of the pigeon fraternity. These in my mind are the four principles on which the success of the Pigeon Journal have been built. With my assuming the editorship it is my intention that these principles and purposes remain intact. All members of the pigeon community are welcomed to and encouraged to submit items for publication regardless of who they are or what their affiliations may be, however, the Journal is not a place to conduct slanging matches, smear campaigns, make personal attacks, or gain political advantage. The Journal has always had integrity and I intend to ensure it remains that way. Each monthly issue of the Journal is a team effort and is backed by a talented team of authors ensuring you will continue to receive the same high standard of publication.

The Journal has has for many years enjoyed a reputation for being one of the best pigeon magazines in the world and there are certainly those who beleive it is the best. With your support I am sure that the Journal will continue to be enjoyed be everyone for many years to come.
