When it comes to opinons,on Feds if they are negative they are best kept to yourself.

Had some of this recently and it is not nice,not very nice at all.

Lanarkshire is indeed the biggest fed and what they do and how they do it is very much up to Them.

Happy days

yes i agree its upto the members but how can they decide anything when they are always kept in the dark by the goings on of the fed,it seems theres only a certain few who know whats going on and its starting to get like a cartel if your not in it you wont find out eff all , I rest my case

No word on the Lanarkshire Fed sitting at Kelso till after 3.30pm and i think there is every chance of getting a race.Lets not be negative and destructive to the race controlling team after all they have their own pigeons to think about as well. Bigda must know something with the tone of his response ie:- moving to Otterburn so late in the day ?

I agree with Alf even if we have 6 Kelsos.Remember we are educating youngsters for the future and at the end of the day we all have 95% Shi-te in our lofts anyway.None of us are good enough for picking based on handling and looking at the only test is the basket and only then do we have some idea what the racers and breeders are capeble off.
