well done Pete and the others who timed , great distance flying.

the success in pigeons managing to home so well is fitting return for the effort and resources put into this excercise by the SNRPC members involved. raising transport and prize funds through generous donations and bird sales has reaped outstanding rewards. by these efforts it has now been proved 700 mile racing is a big possibility into Scotland. this is a magnificent achievement for a club less than five years old. also it must be pointed out that the assistance of the NFC has been integral to the success of the venture so thanks to all concerned. co-operation and communication showing the way forward. we look forward to next year and what it will bring to those who take the sport a step further. for now though lets wollow in the feel good factor of the pigeons and their owners that have shown the way. congratulations to all involved.

Well said Johno, it's great to see cooperation and some outstanding performances. Saintes was a tough test and to get them at that distance is fantastic, something to be very very proud of.
