PerformanceIt would carry too far to enumerate all achievements, but in order to obtain a good impression, figures can not be avoided. Of course, the semi-national victory on Chateauroux (5357 p.) and the victory on Creil (4638 Dutch and Belgium pigeons) were pinnacles of the beginning period. Many early prizes in bigger unions announced more improvements. The last thirty years, André belongs to the peak fanciers of Afd.Oost-Brabant with over 4000 members in the beginning till 1400 now. Meanwhile, we find him on the prize-lists as A.v.d.Wiel & dochter, because his daughter Manon developed interest in the pigeon hobby from ‘90. She even took a little loft with young pigeons under her protection. In the meantime, also Jan Schreuder has put out his hand. That is why the race name changed to: Comb.v.d.Wiel-Schreuder. In 2004 Manon stopped her activities in the partnership.Since 2010 they race in Veldhoven as well: Comb.Schreuder-v.d.Wiel.Every year there are first places in the championships, in the club as well as in the province. Their speciality is the distances over 250 miles, but they don’t forget the sprint races!!
