Description

The TMP Breeding Loft houses breeding pairs of direct Gino Clicque pigeons (1st General Champion of Belgium 2026 and winner of 12 x 1st (Inter)Nationals) including sons, daughters and very close relatives of his main champion lines … the pigeons mentioned below, ie the TOP of the TOP !!!

2026 has been another record breaking year for Gino, being crowned 1st General Champion KBDB and winning 1st & 2nd National … hard to imagine after such a great 2025 where he won 2 x 1st Nationals, 9 x 1st Provincials and 59 x 1st prizes !!!

Although scoring at the top in the Middle and Long Distance National racing, this family of pigeons are certainly good for all distances … winning 1st prizes from the beginning of the season to the end.

The collection of National Ace Pigeons, National winners and Zonal/Provincial stars of Gino Clicque is immense. Pigeons such as Piraat, Super Prince, Golden Prince and Prince Rudy have a legendary status that reaches far beyond the Belgian border. New generations of National Ace Pigeons have kept Gino at the top … the most noteworthy achievements in 2022 are the 1st Int. Agen Yearlings against 16,932 b and 1st Fastest Libourne against 6,309 b and another DOUBLE NATIONAL WIN in 2025 with 1st National Souillac 4,577 b and 1st National Cahors 5,226 b. 2026 saw “Turbo Cyriel” 1st International winner prove his status as champion racer AND breeder, being father and grandfather to 1st & 2nd National Perigueux 3435 birds. JUST OUSTANDING !!!

I’ve been involved in the pigeon sport for many years (too many to mention), and have lived and raced both in the UK and Belgium with my late partner, Martyn Mitchell. We lived approx 10 km north of Gino. To compete in the same clubs as the top Belgian fanciers was the ultimate for us. Competing against the best – if you’re scoring high there, you know you’re doing more than ok, and we did! At that time, and still now, Rekkem was the club to race in … if you were 1st Club there, chances were you were 1st Provincial and 1st National … it’s where the legend Gaby Vandenabeele raced, along with many other top names including Gino.

Gino still races from the original lofts of his father in Wevelgem, although they’ve been extended and modernised. His main racing lofts are based on the design of our own lofts in Belgium – built by Gino! It incorporates a system of ventilation which Martyn spent many years researching. Built from wood with a cavity and wood lining to control temperatures, no expense was ever spared to ensure a top environment for the pigeons. Pent tiled roof and extraction provided the best air quality for the birds.

Watching with Gino at his loft on race day is seeing a true pigeon fancier doing what he loves. He plays to win, and during the season it’s all hard work and dedication … that’s why he gets the results he has. He’s not a small player, but Gino knows his team … calling out the ring number before his son Jasper even has chance to confirm it … that’s a gift. It’s a real family affair at the Clicque loft, with daughter Laura helping in the loft every day.

New introductions to my loft are always based on results but, just as important is the fancier themselves … Gino is a dedicated player who I have known for years, and raced against … it’s as much about the relationship as much as the birds. I can’t wait to see how these lines perform in UK racing.

Their drive, speed, and race intelligence have made a serious mark on our loft’s performance. Whether in tough conditions or tight finishes, they’ve shown what elite breeding looks like. We’re building on that momentum, and the results speak for themselves. The results with these bloodlines are too numerous to mention so here are some of the highlights.”
