  3. I dont no how many years the sport has left certainly not nearly enough young fanciers joining ,i have lived in the town for the past eleven years and not once has any lad or lassie said can i see the pigeons mister.There does not seem to be any lack of cash being spent on all these sale birds take blackpool weekend as an example thousands for sale AND EVERYONE A WINNER ,to me these are the people who are killing our sport where have the days gone when you gifted your best to fellow fanciers
  4. Just got mine today told the lassies in the shop the birds can come from france quicker sometimes
  5. Regarding Louella Greats ,The late Louis Massarella stated if he thought there were another solway king he would gladly walk to Annan for it
  6. Posted wrong alec ,ben is my cousin his father was my uncle ,ben could certainly fly a doo .
  7. That was definitely some doo ,regarding to soft on them would agree my uncle when he used to race was first loft in Scotland to win three gold awards with the national ,would time a bird from 500 miles on the Friday night and same bird would be of again on the Tuesday to 570 miles that was his system ,as we no slightly different regarding birds safety on way home nowadays
  8. Very smart set up ,having built many a loft for friends extended overhang on front spot on if the overhang on the back is twelve inches your ventilation will be spot on all the best for 2011

  10. Walter ,A wonderful post what you have not stated because it is not in your nature to be attention seeking ,since becoming club secretary through your hard work in writing a new constitution we the club members were fortunate enough to receive new ets systems via lottery award ,also many other clubs the length and breadth of the country have also been successful using your constitution.At fed level since you took over the post of president every member now receives regular news letter updates informing them of any ongoings ,You have also been instrumental in providing the federation with a new transporter and at present every pannier is being refurbished .A BIG WELL DONE
  11. What i meant was Smaragd 2 CLASS
  12. CLASS
  13. Watched the fight and ricky burns won comfortably real concern for him when he meets someone with ko punch that he quite clearly does not possess
  14. Wise move not to let them out during winter but also sad sign of the times when we cant do as we wish ,what about our human bloody rights They just eat crows ,seagulls or anything they wish at this time of year although some will be finding it difficult during this continued cold snap
  15. Got introduced to racing pigeons through the family visiting my late uncle who raced them when i was a schoolboy,and i caught the bug been hooked ever since ,love the buzz of pairing breeding and racing them ,the beauty of this hobby is you can take advice from others or just do your own thing ,get as excited on a race day as i did near on forty years ago the highs do compensate for the lows ,feeding time at this time of year even the weary ones are my best friends . the social side during the winter months are always a highlight to look forward to meeting new friends from all walks of life from millionaires to working class joe bloggs like myself ,all in all a wonderful sport
  16. got rp not bhw the bhw delivery over the past few months has been crap going to get mine mail ordered ,like getting the sunday post on a wednesday

  20. Right there andy barca were all about one touch football and players that were happy with the system dont see our boys using one touch ,not many managers about like the late brian clough who made his players keep it on the ground ,closest at present is prob arsene wenger . Who is actually teaching our kids at these so called state of the art training grounds to many nightclubs me thinks .
  21. God help the fans who are flying there with airofloat Would be better sailing and going with stayafloat
  22. I used a tubular heater in a small stock loft last year it certainly made it more comfortable for myself saying that i did have an excellent hatch and did not loose any youngsters,don't think i will pair stock up this year until February at earliest and do as i did last year and not breed of the race team as they raced very well like that .omo
  23. Snowing here in Moffat at present ,roll on summer
  24. Walter,the late joe murray from ecclefechan won the gold cup in 1976 from a record entry of 7953,joe worked at the time for my late uncle stan scott of wamphray who also won the ybn from cheltenham that same year from an entry of 4952,1976 was the very hot dry summer with the first three in the gold cup being 1st ,south,east and west sections and yet the weather broke in september and i am sure the yb were held for many days the rain again set in after liberation with the winning vel being 835.
