  2. RIP Sam
  3. Welcome, good luck for 2018. Got to moots and pickup tips, meet new fanciers and have a good time. Also read up on the methods for what you want to achieve.
  4. Thanks mate
  5. Cheers John, I think I wentered there two years ago, but can't remember were it is.
  6. What is the post code for the nearest marking station to Glasgow?
  7. Are Almond valley at Wetherby this week?
  8. Well done Huge great performance
  9. The whole west of Scotland has not raced the west for years and the first time trying we are desimated, if the theory of starving them was going to work, the west bop population should be at its lowest right now, but it looks like it's stronger than ever, no matter where we race from there are fancier the whole length of the west of the UK and the birds still have to home into these areas. I do think the bop play a big part in poor returns but this year I think some other factor is also responsible for the loses. Jmo

    Losses

    How many latebreds will make up fanciers teams next year , and then be cleaned out again by 200 miles, also the quality going to the nationals will not be up to standard giving more losses. A down ward spiral , it will take years to recover from this season, but will most wait that long?
  11. If after reading this year's racing returns you still want to take up racing pigeons then you will do fine. As my father told me when I started "there are more disappointments than anything" All the best.
  12. The 2nd inland needs to be from Maidstone or Eastbourne, Ypres has not been as good since we moved to the middle of the country,
  13. It has been a tough race since the second inland moved from east to central
  14. Well done del.
  15. 10:35 and it's dark here, 25 minutes of flying time remaining! !!
  16. We had it and it took longer to clear than normal and we kulled a lot more than normal, but doing good now and coming well in training, I think it was a different strain of viruses this year.
  17. This year has been a wash out for us, but sent one bird, good luck everyone who sent
  18. Well done Hugh, a great performance and a great guy.
  19. Good luck Del the whole of Scotland will be rooting for you.

    Ypres

    This will be another tough race I rekon, it has always been a great race but the last two years it's been tough, the last two years we have been to Littlehampton and bedamp ton , previously we were at Maidstone and Eastbourne before that. Back to the east for me it's a fairer measurment for all and the racing is better. Newbury, Bovingdon Bedhampton and every other race point down the middle has been poor.

    Ypres

    Sent 6, here's hoping for a good race, best of luck to all who sent.
  24. I am referring to the fact the north of England was to be backed out, this was forcast so controller knew this, meaning that the bulk of the convoy never had a chance, but we liberated anyway.
