Timed in this morning and just glad to see him back.Badly hawked but should survive to fight another day.Just back from the clock station and it would appear about 10% have made it home but we have not heard much from the East & North confirming numbers. Congratulations to all who have timed and in particular Ritchie & White who is the only time we have heard from in the North Sect. Good luck to all in the Last Race of the Season with the Greatest Club (S.N.F.C.) in the Land and hope Falaise on the 18th July 2008 has better returns.

Well done Bob Whyte, hope he wins the section it would be great in his last season.
Some fantastic pigeons have been timed by Bob and his late partner George Ritchie, 2 of the best distance fanciers Scotland has produced.

Got 1st Tours bird today, had a hard time of it. Glad to see him as he already has an Alencon and 2 Newbury tickets.


Tip. If on a plane always wear light fawn trousers.

well is that it  17  birds from tour's  disaster or what ! Falaise
could  put a finish to the National as we know it, and as for the snrpc they are  all but  done  but don't  want  to alarm  the members, also as they can't find a result
10-13- birds home they think! surly now they must find out why these birds are not  homing, are the birds of this era not as good as   the old strains  where.  500 birds missing this week  200 last week,  400 club birds the week before that
and the week after that another 300 missing 1,500 within a month  and no one is bothering because they got one, on one of those  race days  but should you ask got mine all up.

how can these convoyers expect birds to come through 400 miles at least in terrible conditions p*ss--g down with rain where do they get there line of flight from i know we get some bad races in the up north combine but not half as many as you guys up there my heart bleads for you and the pigeons.you put all the effort in getting the pigeons in the right conditions for these long races and a click of the fingers all gone,an absolute disgrace some one has to be sacked or there will be no more pigeons left in scotland to fly,what can i say to all you lads to make it any better-------------impossible all i can say is good look lads

not doubting it was a bad race but where did you get 17 birds from the lib line ?
wait till the results come out then you will see how many made it home in race time
but you will never know how many made it home out with race time
