Following
the great success of the inaugural edition of the Golden 10 in 2013, we decided to repeat it in
2014. The option of giving prospective buyers the chance to handle the pigeons for sale in the
auction room whilst the champion breeders are present to be questioned was a resounding success.
The second edition of the “GOLDEN TEN” will take place on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th of November, again in the
Best Western Hotel Nobis in Asten, the Netherlands. 18 Famous champions from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany
present the best of their lofts.
Something extra for 2014 at the request of the Chinese prospective buyers is that several participants have
agreed to include a proven performance pigeon in addition to the children of their best breeders/racers.
The list of the Golden 10 again reads like a “Who’s who” of the European pigeon sport and its most famous pigeons.
All in all this edition promises to be a fantastic occasion once again, where sellers and buyers can meet each other in
an attractive ambiance, and where only top quality is offered.
Make sure you’re there!

Arjan Beens
ince making the switch from extreme
middle distance to overnight distance
racing in 2007, Arjan Beens has made
every effort to become the undisputed
best and in the meantime he is an absolute star. He has twice been the winner
of the prestigious InterNat. Extreme long
Distance Competition organised by the renowned pigeon sport magazine “de Duif”!
The crowning glory, however, was the
title of 1st InterNat. Olympiad pigeon
Marathon Nitra 2013 with “Olympic Miss
Gijsje”.
In 2013 won Arjan amongst other top
results 1st Nat. Brive 7105 b and 2014
brought him even more glory with 1st
NPO Brive 2,897 b and to top it all off
the 1st Nat. Perpignan 6414 d. and 2nd
Emperor Long Distance ZLU and 1st Total
Champion of the Northern Union (Adfelings 7, 8, 9 ,10 & 11)!
Arjan recently made the decision to leave
the pigeon sport for the moment. Hence in

one of the very best long distance lofts of

and 1st, 7th 9th and 10th Prov Bourges
