Introduksjon
The International Modena Club
(IMC) is a nonprofit corporation affiliated with the National Pigeon
Association and other Modena clubs worldwide. It was established to represent Modena pigeon
hobbyists around the world in
fellowship, breeding, maintenance, conditioning and exhibition of the Modena
pigeon. The Modena hobby consists of an international community of
hobbyists that encompass the globe. The IMC is devoted to these hobbyists,
the further development of the Modena pigeon and the continued educational
benefits associated with the breed. The IMC serves as a Modena resource and
exhibition center for all Modena hobbyists worldwide.
This site was developed for those that share a
common interest in the breeding and exhibition of the Modena pigeon worldwide. It is
a tribute to the individuals that have developed breeding programs over the
years and were instrumental in the development of the
Modena as we know it today.
A great number of
individuals are responsible for contributing photos, translation
capability and other work to this site. Among those that have contributed the most are: Scott Brown (USA), Dave
Cooke (USA), Jan Heldal (Norway), Raymond Julien (Canada), Reese Johnson (USA),
Christophe Mathe (France), John Ross
(Great Britain), Kobus Snyman (South Africa),
Dennis Weyrauch (USA) and many others.
The IMC also thanks
Patrick Laval (France) for his outstanding work on the IMC CyberImage©
that has taken much of his time.
All of these efforts are greatly appreciated by the IMC and those that
visit this website.
Various literary
works have inspired and been a part of the development of this Web page including, but not
limited to The Modena
Pigeon 1994
by Robert M. Pettit, and The Pigeon
by Wendell M. Levi.
I want to thank Mrs. Hazel Pettit for permission to reprint articles in the book The
Modena Pigeon 1994. The IMC owes a special
thank you to Mr. George De La Nuez of Corona, California, for his permission to use his exquisite photographs on the
IMC
website.
He is considered the premier pigeon photographer of winning birds for owners and magazines alike.
