how was the weekends race in terms of returns,results etc.how did you all get on.

well it looks like lanarkshire have 99.99% returns from kelso up at 1.45  home from with in  2hrs

in the west of scotland i think we had a mixed bag,it appears lanarkshire have had great returns from kelso not sure about glasgow,renfrew midland & ayrshire feds?

i know the midlands had a good race and returns,they are very happy the way there season is going compared to last year but it only takes one bad to  put you out the game.

mixed bag regarding returns in glasgow some waiting on 1or 2 and heard one local fancier waiting on 12 from 14, 5 form 10 etc myself  18/23 on the night then 2 today so overall 20/23.  tough job race controlling yesterday so well done to all.

sent 28 got 27 back by night fall
the other back with a lost pigeon of ours the next morning

so 29 from 28    not bad results

but alot in our club had a lot missing...

100% returns this week , well pleased , i need some yearling fer next year

well the boys in caerwent flying wec are hanging themselfs at moment with massive losses

Sent 30 to there first race and have 26 back

I have not seen result yet but am aware of people with better times, overall satisfied with the way they came and a relasonable return compared to that of some in the club and fed.

First race with the ETS also despite some teething errors on friday, a totally different world to what im used to and much more enjoyable.

Biggest sickener is dropping my remaining young bird challenge bird

Hope so i have often found with young birds though the minute you pick one out its quite often the one you drop

17 from 19 for me. Came well but disgraced myself with poor trapping. Not all my fault as we have a dormer roof, and they went on that for a drink. Short of moving again or stopping the rain what can I do.

25 from 33 yb's    4th & 5th Club  
We still send old hens to keep them going for the classics,
we was 1st & 2nd club old hens

12 out of 13, the one missing is my own fault, it was late last week. It should have not gone and i know better, i was clutching at straws. Worst of all i was 15 minutes behind the winner racing like a complete novice. ALL HELP WELCOME
