ours were up from messac at 7.00. got 22/23 and doing 1884 for 277 miles (clocked at 11.19). doesn't look like there was a problem in france or the channel at that point.

sorry - the above time should read 11.18.

they will be motoring that's for sure. ours were at messac as well today. 277 miles to us (just north of london). They were up at 7am and we timed at 1.18 for a velocity of 1884. Had 2 together as well. There will be hundreds on the day in scotland I should think. Good Luck.

sending 6 to BICC Tours.

hahaha pigeons can't carry bird flu, and you certainly won't get a cold from handling it.

why use racepoints where the birds have to be liberated before 9am?

I take it we are not to expect an early verifications result tonight?

party like its 1699.

Let's have a dance off.

i would pick and choose their races carefully. have them trained with your others, so that if a good weekend's weather is predicted then a couple of decent races will educate them well. If you can't get them in the first few races there will be a few dropbacks later in the season. Just a thought.

are 2 ets rung pigeons allowed to be timed in at the exact same time? surely if they are then there is a hint of discrimination against those non-ets fanciers who are not allowed to put 2 rubbers in one thimble. I take it that this is the issue that raised this topic in the meetings.

watch they don't get scalped if they are left on the floor though - that's if u have other old birds in the section.

looks like a light north easterly - not good. go on www.xcweather.co.uk excellent site

oh yea im sending 6 old hens as well

sending 10 darkness pigeons - 5 of them will be ring noms.
