One of the sensations in Middle-Netherlands is Gerard Calis from Bussum, who dominates last weeks with super series of top prizes and exceptional prize percentages. For a great part Gerard thanks his successes to Sangers pigeons he brought in.
The results of the last weeks of the colony G. & H. Calis that lead to astonishing reactions and made a great impression:
