  1. We have 2 hens from John at Formula 1 , a yb from one of them topped our fed and transporter by some way!! its nest mate was going great guns in the europa one loft but was lost at training , Our firt season with them so we think they are good birds so far . Colin

  4. I am waiting on call back, phoned today was told debbie would phone me back to confirm pickup ? will give benifit of the doubt but if birds not picked up by thurs 4th dec am afraid it is no good to me or the guys that are sending the birds . all we want is to be kept imformed. will call again tomorrow,
  5. I Watched the darts on ITV4 last week and as a past decent player a few years ago it was the best i have seen in a long long time Why and what has darts got to do with pigeons? Well any darts player will tell you they went down the same road as our two nat clubs one lot fell out with the other and split !! it douse`nt matter which one came out on top over the next few years but they are back playing against each other making for great viewing, The SNFC and SNRPC are in the same boat now, they both cannot and willnot survive as a profitable concern until we get it sorted a little at a time, We want to win a nat with all of you top men in the same race because Scotland used to be the best distance racing in GB
  6. All this is well an good but i was at last AGM and there were`nt many take`rs for the top posts ?? and if memory serves me correct it took some time to get enough members for the managment comittee, I agree the top table have`nt done too great but it`s like a lot of things in life Try Before You Buy, it`s not easy.
  7. I asked my na bor he said ok afew weeks later he changed his mind!!!! my solicitor told me they cannot do anything about it ,How many Doo`s do i have in my shed ? 3 late breds and they don`t get out it`s only temprary till i move , but she next door don`t want pigeons next to her 5 bedroom detatched hoose ,TUFF sh** , my lawyer also said to tell her it`s pigeons or breeding rats as there is no legal case against rats LOL LOL
  8. Can confirm the Paul Woolliss birds are great birds to look at and handle ! and will find out inthe next couple of years if they fly as well as their ybs look and handle !!!!
  9. Put us down to if not to late (Grieve Bros)
  10. Joe Murphy was good but up his own *expletive removed* too much ,every thing he gets involved in is the joe murphy this , joe murphy that but he was good ,mr gibson`s coverage has been very good ! better than murphy`s but he should never be allowed near anything to do with the SNFC until he drop`s his action against the real doo` men
  11. i voted for all to fly together because we want to beat all of scotland when we win the gold cup :)and i will at AGM if i am there. Ps Bring back Rennes lol
  12. i got my first doo`s from Joe Hodgsen who won rennes 1955 and Gabe Sinclair was 2nd , i was but a boy !! one of the 4 he gave me we timed out of rennes as a yearling (Grieve Bros ) and we had the top yearling at this years Alencon , RENNES just sounds right , if only we could get the old birdage as well 3500,4000 5000 plus when old Joe won it , Magic just talking about it .

    SNFC /RPRA

    The reason is i was not racing at the time , but my brother was and he was one of the one`s who got up and walked out ! but he like so many others realised that that was not the way to do things and has put it all behind him as the rest should for the good of our sport . i will not get involved in a polical slanging match over this or any thing else that is how we have 2 small national clubs instead of 1 decent one, :P :) Who`s going to the SNFC BALL then

    SNFC /RPRA

    Well done mate you are spot on we decide who is on what commitee and lets look beyond the past and try and help ourselves go forward , Colin
  16. I`m not into any politics but the time for change is NOW ,and lets start with all the money from blackpool go`s into fighting our corner against Raptors, the public misconception about our flying rats (That really gets my goat) and stop all this your no getting in our club cause your too good or the winds always in your favour (BOLLOCKS), And lastly Bring back Karen because she had the balls most of the men in our sport don`t , ps sorry if i have repeated anything but ave no read all the posts yet. Colin
  17. We have been at the last 2 but no more! Going to the RPRA this time instead. only because they are`nt going the 300 mls ! so if they are only fying 200 plus i personaly think the RPRA is better run . There will be some top doo`s going a bit cheaper this time i think , (how many got home by wing instead of delivery ??) Colin
  18. sorry maybe i should say members of both organisations ! because this subject always ends up as political slagging match . And does any one think we can both survive the current downturn in the sport ? Not a chance, if the banks can go tits up so will we .
  19. Lets get this all sorted soon ! because both clubs cannot sustain the drop in birdage that is current in the sport , no one has to say sorry just let bygones be bygones even if we only start by transporting together with a chosen controller etc from both sides, 4 nationals 4 winners from what is and always will be the home of long distance pigeon racing.
  20. Did you get them all Andy ? We only got 6/12 doing 1442 with first but big wait for 2nd doo
  21. Hope this doo gets back to full fitness ! But you have kidnapped my thread and am really in need of some help to collect these birds ! I am a stranger around these parts that is the only reason i am asking for assitance?? If not Amtrak will have to doo ;D ;D not a fan of amtrak)
  22. C leadbeater+son Look at the (consistancy?) of this loft over the years , FANTASTIC
  23. Hi Lads I have 2 ybs coming from Ireland on monday to Stranraer and have to work !! So anybody that is spare and want to earn some dosh i`ll pay the amtrak rate. not sure of time yet but will find out tomorrow, ferry port to Bargeddie !! (Glasgow) Please pm me . Thanks Colin
  24. Has any one got any reccomendations of a good shed builder in Coatbridge area?? Looking for a small shed to be made to measure, Thanks Colin
