chris nobody is saying your not being helpful,but a fancier who cant be arsed [for want of a better word] picking a stray up off you after youve been out of your way with the same bird once before in my book doesnt deserve helping..........pete
shadow was there not a levy put on clubs a while back as pigeon racing is a sport not a hobby or did fanciers hit the roof for nothing
oh happy days
i thought that it was because pigeon racing wasn't recognised as a sport that club premises became liable for business rates because sports clubs are exempted....if i'm wrong..i'm wrong but thats what i thought.

i lost 20 out of 30 ,the 2 that have been reported 1 is in durham and 1 in essex [both will be picked up one way or the other]however if all 20 got reported thats me out of it ,regardless of all the talk about claiming your birds back, no one can afford to get all the birds back,however manners cost naff all,with the cost nowdays of getting birds back the rules must change to reflect this

8 phone calls no call backs put bird to whu gail did not seem happy when i told her i was non fancier but im not am i i gave up she was sharpe to the point of rudeness you reap what what you sow so now lets see how long he takes
Has the bird been claimed now Chris? I must admit your comment ref Gail at the WHU is certainly out of character, she has always been polite to me and beleive me, i've thrown her some curve balls at times.
