I would predict a velocity of 1050-1100ypm for the best into the west section :wacko:

Can you identify ma doo for me Ian? No_27 i think it is.

I don't know that a pencil in particular is the best, but i do know the Choc,s cross very well with just about anything, (especially when the neither of the parents are choc) we had some terrific success with them paired to Dk Ch and Blacks ;)

Ye wid need a meetin to decide whether a postal vote should or shouldnae take place!!

There is a queue a mile long, so no bein wan tae show favouritism i'll hang onto it :D

Ta, she looked great when she returned from the race and has held her condition well.

Hey Mick, leave them in their own wee world, your in better company here ;)

Stranger things have happened

Here's hoping it turns in a good performance for BOTH men, as i know Billy will derive as much pleasure from it as John.

Thanks Alan, the Ck with her was 9th Wsec 74th Open Newbury last year, it will be a young bird from this pair that goes into the SNFC latebred sale on 5th Sept.

:lol: See you'll no get wan like that cos you don't spend as many hours lookin at the sky as i do!!

Ypres1, Ypres2, Ypres3, Ypres4, and Ypres5. will do nicely :lol: :lol:

:D Maturing nicely ma missus says ;)

I know when i go to the SNFC races these days, there is a possibility of finishing on the first page of the result, and taking open pool money, if the club moves back to the west i will have lost this opportunity, as previous years have proved. I can't reconcile myself with the notion, other sections of the club wish to deny me and the rest in the west this FAIRER line of flight. The expectations in the south and east of the country have had to be reviewed, due to the impact of the change in race points and reduced birdages, so you want things reverted to "the good old days" without a thought of taking this expectation from me??? Shame on you's!!

Cheers, i've passed the details on

Naw no yet John. i'll see about getting one soon as she is in good order still. Mind you, i'm no too clever at posting pictures, so you might have to live in ignorance :lol: :lol:

The hen who won the Section this year is now called EQUIPOISE, (Perfect Balance)

A friend of mine just called to say he has this pigeon, could ge a Fife doo?? any takers

Cheers Frank, i'll have a look.

Ta Steven, any contact details for either of them? if so would you pm them to me, Cheers.

I was looking around for Sprint/mid distance doos for a friend of mine but i've no really got the best idea where to go for the best of the SVR doos these days. Any idea's guys??

Its hard to say whether modern methods are better/worse than 30 years ago, what is beyond doubt is that the pigeons nowadays are faster than the doos of 1980. In those days most lofts would have had Larger birds than they do now, doos with big Wattles and seers, broad heads and broad "shoulders". Today's birds are much smaller and, unlike 30 yrs ago, you can hardly tell the difference between sexes in some strains, this change to what i refer to as a European Type of doo, may well have reduced the homing instinct of the birds too. Also a factor is in those days was how FEW Peregrines were around compared to today, i think the lack of 2nd day birds turning up compared to then is down to the BOPS. jmo's

Ditto

Why are you giving them medicine in the first place?

:D thats just age Billy, comes to us ALL!
