An amazing family of pigeons doing well for us and other fanciers for years now including:
-National Champion in 2010 V. Vork

-Marathon North Champion ZLU in 2008 J. Schreurs

-Overnight Champion of North-Holland in 2011 R. vd Berg.
Pure facts and not stories from years gone by! Pigeons that are suitable for the morning and afternoon liberations.

These fanciers possess a stock loft of only 24 pairs built on the lines of the legendary ‘131’ of de Weert and the top colony of Toon van Beek, long distance lines of Nico Volkens complemented with our own and other Nation toppers.

Small colonies with a high average of prizes won including many early prizes. Winning the highly prestigious Marathon North Championship twice in a row is unequaled.  The ZLU morning liberations are super and Peter has also been on the National top the past years!  Peter is the winner of the Barcelona Classement first nominated bird in 2006-2008.

Verweij-Castricum, proud winners of the Golden Double Barcelona  2008 with a 34^th and 36^th Nat.

A massive strengthening of the stock loft has been achieved by two super hens from Fred Stet uit Monnickendam (NH); Bolletje who won a 1^st and 4^th National!! and Sjarapova winner of 2^nd National. The Super-breeder Stet, bred from the famous Betuwe pair of Barcelona specialist Jan Peters has also been acquired and has been paired to the two top hens.

Because Comb. Verweij-Castricum believe that it is important to be honest and guarantee accuracy they have joined the NOOK (National organization breeding centers). All youngsters have had their paramyxo jab.

The TOON, according to many writers, the best long distance pigeon in the World from the races above 1000 kilometers!!!
Judge for yourself, having won the following prizes in the races from St. Vincent (1058 km.) and Mont de Marsan ( 1007 km ); 5^th , 10^th , 15^th , 36^th , 48^th , 77^th national. Six absolutely early prizes, entered only 11 times in marathon races and now a stock bird.

Results
Clocking early birds with a high prize average is important for Jan and Michel but  the enjoyment of seeing their champions arriving home is the most important.

In 2011, on the 29th of July to be exact their birds arrived like a train!
Something that was previously thought of as impossible on the long distance was possible, read this:
29/7 Cahors in North-Holland against 3.151p.: 1^st, 3^rd, 5^th, 6^th, 10^th, 17^th, 33^rd, 38^th, 64^th, 99^th etc., 56 birds entered, 24 prizes won.
National 10.381d. : 12^th, 18^th, 41^st, 52^nd, 75^th etc.!!!!

The long distance program in 2010 consisted of five National races.  Their ‘worst’ prize for their first arrival was the 53^rd National Section 2. Nobody else in The Netherlands could equal this! Lets recap on all Nationals:
17/6 St. Vincent 5.336p.; 28^th, 77^th Nat., 8 entered/ 4 prizes
21/6 Cahors       6.397p.; 23^rd Nat., 10 entered/ 3 prizes
9/7   Tarbes       3.363p.; 24^th Nat., 8 entered/ 5 prizes
17/7 Bordeaux  6.101p.; 53^rd, 81^st Nat., 26 entered/ 10 prizes
30/7 Cahors      10.325p.; 15^th, 64^th, 79^th Nat., 38 entered/ 19 prizes.
Try to equal that! Year in year out early prizes and a 50% prize percentage, including all yearlings that were sent twice this year.

In 2009 more than 60% prize with impressive results.
Bordeaux 20 entries, North-Holland 1755p.; 14, 35, 72 etc. S2 6299p. ; 67, 130, 290 etc. 8 prizes.
Mont de Marsan 12 entries, North-Holland 932p.; 6, 30, 39, 46, 48 etc. S2 4144p.; 40, 151, 196 etc. 11prizes!
Tarbes 17 entries, North-Holland 1196p.; 5, 31, 38, 46 etc. S2 4102p.; 21, 116, 139 etc. 12 prizes.
Bordeaux 30 entries, North-Holland 4258p.; 9, 24, 56 etc. S2 13393p.; 36, 76, 164 etc. 18 prizes.

In 2008 Jan en Michel sent birds to Barcelona for the First time, this debut went particularly well. Three prizes were won from the six entries starting with 34^th and 36^th National and 66^th and 68^th international!
St. Vincent is their most important race, they have clocked early birds for years now from this race, is there a better St. Vincent specialist in The Netherlands? In 2008 7 entries and 4 prizes beginning with 98^th, 177^th and 211^th prize.

In 2007 there were only two tough afternoon liberation races and they did extremely well in both.
Bordeaux on the 8^th of June, 18 entries and 9 prizes in North-Holland against 2.486p.: 16^th, 31^st, 37^th enz., in S2 against 8051p.; 65^th, 116^th, 140^th enz.
National Bergerac 26 entries, 15 prizes; in North-Holland against 3.323p.: 31^st, 48^th etc., in S2 against 10.903d. ; 47^th, 209^th etc. 
National Montauban  9 entries, 5 prizes; in S2 against 1.255p : 8^th, 14^th etc. ( Int.) National against 7.000p.: 30^th, 49^th etc.

They were really in their element during the 2006 season which was a really, really tough season, Study the result of the three National races:
St. Vincent 8 entries. North-Holland 1957p. ; 18^th, 40^th, 57^th etc. Nat. S2 6830p.; 77^th, 172^nd, 259^th etc. 6 prizes.
Mont de Marsan 6 entries. North-Holland 967p.; 9^th, 10^th, 27^th etc. Nat. S2 3704p.; 47^th, 48^th, 180^th etc. 4 prizes.
Bergerac 20 entries. North-Holland 4398p.; 11^th, 22^nd, 30^th, 64^th, 66^th, etc. National against 14576p. resulted in 49, 97, 132, 254 ,258 etc.,13 prizes.

In 2005 it went really well with six times Teletext from the five races!
In the three National races they were the best in the whole country and winners of the ZLU trophy. The first clocked birds counted but they happened to also be their nominated birds, this performance was achieved by the following series:
St. Vincent,  5^th  Nat. with their first nominated (TOON)
Mont de Marsan, 10^th Nat. with their first nominated (TOON)
Bergerac, 40^th Nat. with their second nominated (HEINTJE).
Nobody did beter in the National races in 2005.

The Modern Long Distance Pigeon

We spoke earlier about the modern long distance pigeon, de birds of Comb. Verweij-Castricum and Peter de Haan love tough conditions, warm weather and headwinds. But after saying that, with tail winds and even shorter distances they are also capable of arriving early. Michel and Jan finished amongst the champions of the sprint and young bird races with the same birds. 
They have less than 9 meters lofts to do it all. 
Brothers and sisters of TOON regularly give top birds that win prizes fron all distances. The original super pair of Comb. Verweij-Castricum dates from 1995. Descendants of this pair are fantastic and are capable of winning prizes in the first ONE hundred National, Jan and Michel lost count of the number of prizes. An enorm amount of prizes were won by Peter and other fanciers. Have a good look at the references.
