Hi Paulo, there is a company at Chilton Just Sheds(I think that is what you call them), Just of the A1M junction 59 (about 4miles). They are supposed to be reasonable, they supply pigeon feed etc in this area. If i find a number will let you know.

I cannot even get in, it says you need to update flash player , done that and still no joy.

Good result for you at that time, the 1st in aycliffe was at about 11mins past the hour. Also heard that quite a few from dean bank and coxhoe were on at about that time.

al the time round aycliffe area, there are about six breeding pairs in the area that i know of. Dave

Good luck to all, Durham combine up @10:45 light sw wind. Hopefully Any of our straglers will get picked up by the UNC Ybs? Dave

Durham Combine from Wanstead flats, last race hopefully. Weather in Aycliffe very foggy/misty.

Agree to a point ,the checker should see that the entry is correct. When i check the paper clip number that is read out for the person who is writing the entry, i cannot always see if he has written the birds ring number correctly. It is usually fairly hectic, and time is limited. Again as the rubber matches what was put on the bird then it should be allowed. quote (The about the clock rolls not being signed, the member is not allowed to handle his clock while its being opened and not allowed to have contact with the rubbers, etc.. I think this is completely out of the members hands, and should be given.) If the controllers at the end of the race did not ensure that everything was correct, then they should be the ones repremanded / suspended. Ok so allow the results to stand and as a lesson learnt, provide better communications / checks, more space usually some small dark pub? and have the dam thing organised better to ensure it does not happen again.

I think I would allow the 1 to stand as it appears to be a genuine mistake, that someone has misheard or mis wrote. How can you stand and check every bird that you put in to see if it is correct. The rest all appear to be Non-compliances with clock rules and for such an important race I would ensure that if I had clocked on a bird that my clock print was right. ow long have these people been racing? Therefore I would say that these should be not allowed. I have nothing to do with any of the members names as shown, and it is purely my own opinion. It loks to me as though the problem has been with T3 clocks? Does anyone agree or disagree?

now got 8 back from 12

222 miles normally takes all the birds about 4 - 41/2 hours, first bird was 4 hours 48 mins, 2nd was about 5 mins after that. Lots missing

4 from 12 from wanstead flats to Newton Aycliffe overall lots fo birds missing looks like they have been pushed up the east coast.

anyone know what its like at Wanstead Flats? Aycliffe now clearing with blue sky visabiltiy 1- 11/2 mile patchy mist still about

Witton castle should be clearing about now, I live about 10 mile from there and we are now getting blue sky, still patches of mist about . Visability about mile /mile and half.

durham combine heldover at Wanstead Flats

Durham Combine Wanstead Flats YBs Nationals,Breeder buyers etc, then one more to go.

Saturday 26th November is the NEHU Show again at a new location at the Temple Park Centre, John Reid Road, South Shields Hopefully will be going, never been before.

now only waiting for 3, had 2 return form newark (2 weeks ago) and 1 from training toss on thursday( think hes been in somewhere else? neighbouring loft?) anyhow, they are all going to the nationals from wanstead flats, 222 miles see what we get back, and they will go for the last race at wanstead the week after. Need to get some new blood stock in, as these home breeds are good for getting home but too slow?

Ive heard similar stories, but due to suspensions and appeals etc it could take 2 months to get the results. I heard about 30 in all, all from one clocking station. The next futurity race may only have one clocking/ringing station, they had 8 this year, bedlam springs to mind. 4000 rings sold this year, so if only 1/2 made it to the race, it would be an extremely busy day to get them all ringed and clocked? if at all possible in one location.

1st bird back in exactly 3 hours 39 secs for 167 miles. (1627ydsm)

Mixed returns in Durham Combine (aycliffe section) sent 12 still waiting for 6, got 1 back from 2 weeks ago and 1 back from last week other members down 6 and 4s and 1 `s and 2 `s Has a Patch of mist has sent them past us? as most birds were coming in from the west and back over from over flying?

Heard rumours today of some disqualifications, but i don`t know why? About 20 in total? Anyone have any info?

Durham Combine at Huntington

any results been sorted out for this. fellow racers in our club are keen to hear of any news
