it has to be more than the bops ,wind or rain , the Barcelona nat was also a disaster with something like 20,000 doo,s missing . could it not be the constant jagging every year for pmv ! as a hell of a lot of older pigeons like chris said 4,5,6,year old pigeons going missing that have already been several times before. just another idea to mix with the rest .

sorry andy but because you don`t give two bollocks about your pigeons most of us do ! what about the boys in the north 8 or 9 lib is no good to them , selfish . colin grieve

It will be a test ok , we have mostly vandenabelle`s away they done us proud at bovington 309mls but this could unwind them ! hope i`m wrong !!

i agree delboy ! we should be on the best there is but as you know the members just wont pay for it ! and as for the letter in the bhw from mr mcmurchie about the birds being dehydrated (spelling na gid ) ok we had a good race , but we had 7 birds in 1and half hours and the first five could have all went back the following day ,Honest, we also had our fancied doo reported dead in wales so i think clashing is more likely than bad transport .jmo colin

can`t see a crow catch a pigeon unless injured , the brothers a game keeper and tells me they will rob your loft of young out the nest, but they are`nt fast enough to pick out a adult bird , and they do chase the bop`s from their nesting area ,

how many birds away to this race ?

We had a good cock reported dead in WALES from bovington!!!!

Where did you get this result ??? can`t find it on web site

Am i reading your result correct Blaz mr findley only sent 1 doo fantastic flying if that is the case , and well done karen carrying on the great Newcombe name! grew up as a boy in Longniddry in awe of Eddie and Dales acheavments , colin grieve

ours has to be 56 cock yearling vandenabelle, 2x1st club 1x2nd club 1x3rd club 1x1st fed 1x2nd fed 1x3rd fed 1x13th fed and timed him in the nat at weekend.

if these are still available i will have them , sent you a pm . colin

well done steve lapinski fantastic result mate

don`t blame you the ayrshire doo is a cracker but steve is a great doo man and bloke .

we (Grieve Brothers ) have just been confirmed 2nd section 3rd open over the fn moon , so it looks like either the lapinski or bell doo did`nt beat us and that could be good news for the ayrshire lads ,Well Done to which ever it is:lol:

sorry the reply was to the ayrshire doo

that is a great pigeon over there and deserves to win ! but 1376 wont beat steve lapinski`s and he is behind mel bell, and stop finding all these fast times because we are going down the sheet all the time

I think what is confusing is the position of Bovington as it is further round than say Newbury we fly very similar distance in east lothian as i will at my new place in greengairs ! but a lot stiffer test for the doo`s in the west ,this race seams to be very even with good birds in all sections and think it will be close Well Done to the winner ??????

we fly 309.1282,we`re happy where ever we finnish

Karen is in at 13 05 we are in at 13 06 and get 2 mls and we don`t beat steve lapinski ,our vel is 1373.85 , this is if Karen`s time is correct,

not sure but my info is Mel Bell or Steve Lapinski from dalkeith we could be 3rd but not sure ,hope this helps

She tried and thats as good as winning (almost ) Thanks

we`re doing 1373.85 for anybody`s interest , maybe not good enough to win but we`re chuffed by our yearlings performance

Grieve brothers east scotland (longniddry) 13 06

Do we still no ken how many is away surely gareth will let us in on the secret ,

hi andy what were your returns like in edinburgh and what vels you doin in the pentland we are still 7 short but were 1st 2nd 3rd doin 1296 but lost a wee bit wi the first all club members had bad traps which could have been clashing but hey if one can make it why not the rest , Colin Grieve (east scotland fed)
