yeboah

8/15 first timers here All came in good time but nothing since 11-30 Very jumpy took 15 minutes to land Distance Doos lol

Thanks lads Boys down the club tonight promised no tae time in straight away and let me win the morra

Hope you have better luck than me pal Tried number for three days then when man answer mumbled something and hung up Can't get him to answer and had courier organised Put it in hands of Dutch Union Still waiting for reply

Correct Ricky Just talking to clubmate last night and he's had 40 youngsters killed at the loft before they ever got chance to see a transporter Clubmate saw my youngsters being struck just north lockerbie he said five sat on his neighbours roof all night They got struck at 12 noon and started working home to me at 3pm next day 27 hrs sitting 10 mls away I have stopped training just send them Saturday's

Yes definitely time we all faced facts regardless of where we race from ,I watched all peregrine webcams with interest each nest rearing 3/4 young these young left the nests to be taught to kill just as our water races were starting so the number of hunting Falcons just multiplied by 3x4 This years channel races Reims 1323 entered 113 on result bottom velocity 401 ypm Ancenis 294 entered 77 on result bottom velocity 458 ypm Ypres 2324 entered 294 on result bottom velocity 560 ypm Roye 1135 entered 114 on result bottom velocity 617 ypm Those facts clearly show there are no good race points 1000's of the so called cream missing

The old fanciers who no longer compete still ask each year have you any away to Rennes No matter what changes that one should defo be gold cup Jock Allan Symington when I was a lad used to time them for fun

Davy I have the old club trophies dating back to when I joined in 1972 The Rennes Cup The Nantes cup Best average Rennes and Nantes Flown for each and every year We do not buy new trophies now as the race points change each year It is very sad what is happening to our sport Was just looking at solway ring allocation list for this year Issued to members 7470 rings Third young bird race Saturday past convoy of 2100 By time Stafford comes along 6-800 ? What are Lanarkshire and other federation figures Where are all the birds

Have always thought that Lewis I'm 28 mls to Gretna Yet only 25 mls to Davy Elliot at Newbigging

Great to see young blood like yourself and Lewis george with new ideas some day you will have your way as all the old heeds will be deed lol Sure is Lewis I'm 504 mls 505 if they'll no trap

Agree 100% Derek Like Lewis idea of Roye giving all a chance very good forward thinking Young brains like Lewis is what's needed to take the sport forward Not people going to Agm's with agendas to suit their own personal gains Just my opinion I feel Ypres is the race that's killing the gold cup It was only meant to be a commerative race ?

Reims is that the lorry park where they fly in front of lorries when liberated Sounds like a common sence choice

Seemingly Frank Heard Peter 2010 say on the bus that they had cured his YBS

Thanks Frank Got it sorted one of the birds we met in Amsterdam with the Clydesdale midweek is seeing to it lol

Would agree That's the first time since I started in 1972 that I've had a Doo reported abroad Mind that's the first and last time I'll send them that Far East

My hen was 3rd section ybn and scored at Portsmouth as yearling That's 2/4 now How much to get them returned ?

Got my good blue hen reported today in Holland

Solway sedburgh 9-45 SW wind

Took my yb s to 20 mls yesterday over a one and half hour period put them up in groups of 3 They all cleared North immediately,jotted down their numbers and had Ets set at loft My friend jim was at loft to see they trapped First four groups spot on time then next 3 groups never showed ,other groups were ok bar the last group Never got a bird from 2 o'clock in afternoon till they started to work from 8-30 last night till dark Still 4 down 3 of which were clocked from last weeks Shap race One home last night with terrible falcon injuries Pigeon racing has now become a lottery Two fellow clubmates who trained yesterday also had birds missing Another stating he will not train again due to horrendous injuries his birds have suffered this last month sitting at present waiting on latecomers it's like waiting on Reims birds
