Best of luck with them John They were nice ones ye had at the arena bar as well on Saturday, don't think they'll worry these birds too much mind you

wrong neck of the woods there Mossgiel. The hen was a NFC Pau winner for Ron Mitchieson- 'Queen Guinivere'

I'll second that

Aye the Swan was a Wilson pigeon. Down off the £1000 hen when paired to D & M Donaldson cock, I think the £1000 hen was White Tail's last daughter. Nah it wasnae Storm Queen Paul, she was some pigeon though

Cheers Paul Was night to meet yous all at the arena bar don't want to list them all in case I miss somebody. Will stay in touch Lewis

A bit quicker on the draw that time SNFC record holder- furthest distance flown by a 1st Open Winner Will end the night on what I think is a right hard yin(I could be wrong mind you) have a bash

Mossgiel has found himself a challenger in Blue Chequer Pied See who can get this one quickest

indeed 12th,64th and 49th Open Nantes including a 1st west Section timed at around 11 o'clock on the day of liberation whats this one ??

Not a very good photo, but I'm sure you'll manage

Aye that's her 1st SCC Dol 1965 in the race where he was 1st, 2nd and 3rd

In our hotel . The bar was shut but they were selling bottles over the reception until yon time. Sat with a few Irish lads and enjoyed one of their classic arguments without an answer- Was Billy Parkes better than Ronnie Williamson ? My first proper time down at the show-a good laugh and a great weekend
