GREENGRASS

note to karen..........................you have him spoiled rotten ;) ;) ;)

well done westy hope you can defend your title this year hope square peg gives you a run for your money again this year and also young sam and wiley etc............................. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

super performance from mr d yates and well done max was a tough day to be racing pigeons.

without a shadow of a doubt one of the finest stockmen ever. his records may never be beaten and remember he will be around for a while yet so plenty more to come from bondhill. also remember he has had some setbacks along the way with his stock birds stolen etc etc. well done ron.

Bart as it was Ian`s bird i had to send it up first class ....................... ;D ;D

came in this morning with my own birds a bit flown down.

what a stupid statement to make, peter virtue, dennis dall, mr & mrs graham john proctor, etc etc ......also rans, the best birds on the day are those that handle the conditions better, you cannot blame a bird or fancier because the wind was blowing a certain way or do you think only a select few should be allowed to do well and everybody else should be happy to send, prehaps we should keep our birds at home and let the "names" send theirs.................

4,500 is great birdage as some feds have had a hammering this year, the best of luck to all competing regardless of location and wind direction, may the best bird/fancier win.

easy answer jimmy the first four will be paired to the second 4 that are soon to be glasgow bound..................................................... ;D ;D ;D ;D

Congratulations to Danny Mitchell & son from the Clarkston club in the Midland Federation in region E who have taken 1ST OPEN WANSTEAD FLATS with the SNRPC. We had a fantastic race with the top 10 birds in the open stretching from Peter Virtue in the east to Luke & Patterson in Port Glasgow in the West. In section F well done to F & W Doonan from Campsie club who were 1st section with Luke and Patterson from Clydebank club in 2nd section and Graham Bros from Chryston Social Flying club who were 3rd section. the top 10 open looks like having a bird form every region so well done to all concerned at the club.

WHY IS IT A SECRET

nae bit early for me who do you think i am "ALF"........ ;) ;) ;D ;D ;D instead of knocking people like chris whom i doubt you have ever met or spoke to why not acknowledge his achievements and try to see if maybe you are capable of doing what he has done................just a thought.

roland are you vic`s pen pal by any chance, maybe you could let us know why you are so quick to try and put down good performances. maybe your own are better so why not tell us what you have achieved............ ;) top flying chris and fiona all the best for the coming nationals starting today.

Ripon with the comeback race for the mighty Glasgow fedderation and Wanstead Flats with the Scottish National Racing Pigeon Club.........

steve if you want ali`s phone no just let me know.

there are many opinions on how many to clock etc and what is fair but if a man sends and pays for 50 birds then surely he is entitled to put as many in the clock as he wants, if another man sends 5 is he allowed to clock all 5. why does everyone assume that if a man is clocking so many in before you that his birds are better and therefore you must get better birds, maybe his management is better and his birds are better motivated in better health and fitter, we are to quick to try and buy in winners before we have tried to get the maxium from the birds we already have. far to often we blame our birds when the problem is far closer to home, but we dont want to admit to it ..................do we.......... ;D

I have just recieved 4 cracking youngsters from jimmy and they are a credit to you mate, 4 beauties in super condition and thanks for the advice on how to get the best out of them. ps send me a pm when the other 4 are ready and i will pop down and collect them. thanks also to "darnaway" who collected the youngsters for me.

well done ali and linda you are having some season, long may it continue.

check out the pigeon navigation website..............???????? states birds will find it diffucult to get home today if at all...............................!

well done Wilson & Cairns super flying yet again.

i wonder who the auctioneer was............................................ ;) ;)
