They're still using smoke signals in Larkhall Lindsay, so it might be a day or two til ye hear fae them.

Best man tae ask is Watty Boswell, he'll give you an insight to Louella that most of us couldn't.

A went and asked the wean over the road and she said naw, nae race Saturday and nae point bringing it forward cos Friday is raining. A canny argue with her ave no seen a forecast.

Thursday for Saturday race Vince.

Did you write to the Secretary or President with your thoughts Glen?

That is superb flying from such a small convoy at that distance. Superb!! Well done yersel Davie, i see ye timed the day

9/13 out of Reims Davy ??

It would have been clearer if ye named and shamed the person who said it!!

Well he is in the 2012 book, never mind saying he isnae anyway, tell the man who is

Believe me Frank, he's no feeling worse than me, and whatever he seen that made him Lib well he/they were the ONLY wans tae see it and that's my problem with them. Someone in the doos a couple of weeks would have held Saturday and how the other days turned out is neither here nor there, fact is they lost a lot of men's BEST pigeons on the back of this race and that's no forgivable whether they had doos on the motor or not. They should RESIGN, its the only course they can take.

Good shout Tony, i doubt much more would be needed and the incentive of seeing his hen should get him home sharpish.

It's no Hindsight Steven, it was foreseen when we knew the birds were up that a disaster would ensue. The only comparison we can draw between the SNFC and the others racing from France at the weekend is that we were the ONLY organisation to liberate Saturday. That is an astonishingly Arrogant decision considering the number of other controllers who held over, and that's the most Damning part of it, that we have someone who thinks they know better than all those other men. The controllers should Resign without delay if they have any dignity whatsoever.

Most likely yesterday Steven, in saying that if i was in a position to take a Thursday race i would have given the green light to go then.

You've went to the right man Kenny, Derek's doos are equal to anyone's and better than most!! Well done to Del for the wee Brucie bonus as well.

Naw John its no all about bad weather, its about bad CONTROLING!!!!

Nice one John, hope he goes on and scores some more for you and your Da.

Ate Watty ye had a great race mate, but it wisnae a surprise tae me, told you i'd be at your's given the choice if i wasn't racing, well done mate hope you feel 2 feei taller coz ye should.

Knowing Peter as i do, i'm sure that post was a joke not to be taken seriously. If it wisnae!! away an bile yer heed

Not one person posting here are taking anything away from the winners John, and as stated they would have won anyway, good doos and good doo men. We know we canny win all the time, especially at that distance but the wait is only worth it if you see your bird coming home, far too many men have NOT SEEN their birds homing, there lies the issue!!

Cheers Andrew, hope you've no flattened too many Buds tae get up in the mornin lol, hope you get one nice'n early mate.

Thanks for clearing that up John, btw you's done a great job, the birds that made it were in excellent condition i was told.

How True your observation turned out to be Watty.

Anyone else in?? there surely must be more than one fancier timed in.

Yes John, it states 10.30 but IF NEED BE they could have been there in the early hours.
