very well done to pete patrick & willie smith fantastic,extreme long distance has always interested scottish fanciers,this might rekindle the ambitions to have birds home from faraway racepoints which were very popular in the 60s and 70s but not so in the last 2 decades,again very well done and good luck to fanciers who are still waiting.

Chuffed to bits for Pete an absolute gentleman and  ace pigeon man; yet again another fantastic performance into Scotland and many congratulations to the Smiths as well, as I said FANTASTIC!!

Great one well pleased, hope more return in next few  days

Well done to the fanciers who timed in section M. It's a fitting reward for your efforts and  the bird's efforts. I am sure those who worked hard to make this possible will also be over the moon.

im still looking,if i get her il retire her

And so you should hope she turns up in the morning and gives you the biggest thrill you have ever experienced in racing the doos! All the best!

i think a silver medal and a first prize around £200 is being put up by the SNRPC for SNRPC members in this race good to hear. well done also to those who organised the marking and to Gordon Geddes and Willie Johnston for taking the birds to Crewe. Gordon Geddes deserves a medal for what he does for the pigeon fancy in Scotland.

i hope more people race it next year i hope i will have at least 1 for next year

Yes johno GOLD

An MBE from Her Majesty would not be out of place.

Very well done Gordon for all you have done for "the doos" over all years you have put into the Glasgow Fed. I know my muckers won't have a bad word said against you!

Hope there in morning Tim.   I've had poor returns from 320 miles today so not an easy day.  Good birds still to be timed tomorrow

May i offer my congratulations to Pete Patrick on his achievement in this the saintes race his dear friend and confidant the late James Hamilton would have been over the moon with this performance ,because old hammy was one of the fanciers who was  instrumental in getting this off the ground before he passed away , and who should be the first recipient
of this wonderful event is none other than his pal very moving stuff,  pete we will drink to your success my friend and have one for hammy as well,    well done    harry

here here harry well said

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.
