Dennis Veugelers from Nieuwstadt goes to Maastricht 2024 with 2 Olympiad pigeons
19 Nov 2023
In the middle of the season we drove to Nieuwstadt in the Netherlands to visit the Veugelers family. A colony that revolves around the entire family and where they have been participating at a high level for years. The colony is run by Dennis, his wife Chanou and Dennis' parents. During my visit the performances were excellent and of course the season was still in full swing. Now after the end of the season you can speak of one of their best seasons ever and with 2 Olympiad pigeons they are one of the best colonies in the Netherlands.
