Home and Away is a programme ma maw and ma sister watch.I find it absolutely intolerable!!!Cannot be in the same room as it Best programme has to be Dog the Bounty Hunter

arrived today then I'm glad you got it,I've had a 2 or 3 things lost in the post the last year

Not long til kick off now

Clive's Memory was a blue

She was a latebred 1990 pigeon.But it just shows how at certain times of year folk will put old rings on the doos

De Lorna?

Was the house named after the doo or the doo named after the house?

Maybe if you say to Stevie he'll suggest this name to his uncle Jimmy it rolls off the tongue

Aye Tam is a top class dooman at the distance,must have great confidence in that hen.Single entry at Eastbourne and one of two for Clermont

2 Honeymans Dream

Anybody notice the 12 year old hen that popped up in some of the SNFC results last season? Will have to ask Tam how he breeds such longevity into his pigeons

Aye the Jock Allan "No Surrender" was some tool one of his many Will find out the age McLean's "No Surrender" was when it won Rennes but I think I've picked it up wrong.Cannae see it being ten when it won Rennes even though it was a very stiff race and at a time when folk seemed to be scoring well with older doos.

Happy anniversary

I've a clubmate who'll be able to tell me the age it was when it won Rennes,think am getting mixed up though with 10. Only really know about it as there was a picture of it in the Avonbrig pub for years.Willie McLean raced to Standburn originally but moved to Dennyloandhead,this is where he flew when he won the Rennes race.

Very true It won it in 1910 for Willie McLean dkj Know Jock Allan had a pigeon of the same name as well,albeit a few decades later

Cannae find the Age of No Surrender when he won Rennes .It scored four times in the SNFC from 500 miles though 3rd and 8th open Granville,1st and 12th open Rennes.It also topped the NW fed from Bournemouth-the "Auld Reekie" of his day??

Aye I'm struggling to think of one older than that flew over 500 miles. Got a feeling "No Surrender" may have been 10yr old when it won Rennes but I wouldnae put money on it. Probably getting mixed up

"Cockpen Heatwave" was the name of the doo

just checked and its just shy of 500 miles(496) back to the drawing board

Oldest I have heard of was Bobby Carruthers 1989 Sartilly winner at 9 years old.May well be some older though
