"Luck? Something you need when the loft is flying well-if it's going badly nothing will help" -Rod Adams

Seeing yer looking at the house of Aarden doos is it long distance lines you are after? You've maybe missed the boat for this suggestion but a number of your top distance fanciers locally will be racing their best birds to the nest at the minute with the "Classics" coming up in the next four weeks. Many of the eggs under these birds that will go on to score top prizes from these events are surplus to requirements and often thrown out. If you get into contact with someone for next season you could have 2 or 3 pairs down the same time as their main birds and get eggs out of birds which should be in the best condition they'll be in all year. They won't cost an arm and a leg and will be hatched into your own loft enviroment

Didnae want yous getting grease on aw the bonnie doos

If you look at the "greater good" and not the income through entry the inland nationals should'nt be in existance in my opinion. The near destruction of national channel racing and local competiton?

very true Martin.Just looking for a seconder for next year

Has the good doctor been to take yer photae yet Alan?

On another note you'll maybe agree now wi the member who couldnae get a seconder at the AGM when proposing Peterborough be flown on the 9th and Witton Castle be flown on the 16th?

Heres a story for ye When I visited the Blacks of Dromore Davie told me about a pair of identical sister nestmates.One was always stock and the other was their main fancy for the race(Think it was Dinard,but cannae mind 100%) Davie was busy on the day of basketting so his brother sent the doos,think there was 11 of them.Anyway he sent the wrong sister-the one that was a stock hen and had never been in a basket in its life,leaving behind the fancied bird. As you can imagine Davie wasnae too pleased and expected never to see the hen again. The race was a hard one with something like 20 on the day of lib,the Blacks clocking two on the winning day.The first bird into Ireland the next morning was the identical sister hen in her first ever race
