Sorry to hear your news Harry.

Just come in to your replies. A big thankyou to you both. Problem solved.

Anyone know where I can get the little plastic blocks that hold widowhood fronts in place? They were provided in packs of five. Boddy and Ridewood no longer do them. Im looking for about 50 in total. Cheers

I bought a box of 100 from the company that sells the vaccine through the BHW a few years back. Give them a bell

There was no "us" & "them" at the SNFC AGM. Only "us". It is interesting to note that if the few that voted FOR last weekend had voted FOR 5 years ago it would have been carried with a substancial majority. Now it is left with existing members to decide what is in their opinion the best way forward and forget the agro. It is a fact that some SNFC rules are at odds with SHU rules yet this seems unimportant. It was a sad day when the SNFC took on the fight of the SHU. That should have been left to SHU meeting where yet again very few people attended. Enjoy your racing regardless of which club you fly with. Thankfully the doos dont know the difference. Best wishes for 2009 and for what ever short time the doo game has left.

It can be useful to put the pair in a section on there own, even if just for 10 minutes or so to see how they get on. If you have doubts about a pair taking then put a brick up on end against the back wall of the box so that the hen can get up out of harms way if need be. Dont let her get scalped.

Wiltshire cleared nicely. Wind from the south west and fairly stronge

I'm gone

By the way who is red cheq?

Will do. Hope you have a good race. Will be up either late Saturday or early Sunday. Now which one of us is you?

Very funny. I will see you at some point this weekend. Sending Tomorrow?

Am up in Scotland this weekend and will ask the right people. Watch this space.

Any truth in the rumour that Scott Gibson has joined Glasgow?

A yearling that has already done 370 miles has nothing to prove. I would think again but as the man said, your call. It took me a long time to realise when a bird should be put by for the season. I wish you success

When a bloke is open and honest about a problem and gets treated so badly by those who should know better, then other lesser mortals will keep quiet in future. An example needs to be made of those idiots for the good of the sport. They should be held accountable for their actions.

Would have been interesting to have a race of this nature open to all the fanciers up there. Some of the finest fanciers will give it a miss. The like of John Ellis to name but one are unlikely to send. What a wasted opportunity.

Sadly that seems to be what is happening

Back Saturday. Happy Chinese New Year. Some lovely doos over there. And no I am not on the wind up. Looks like a genuine offer. That bloke asking for me is Alex, secy of the club next to my old one. Be carefull as he keeps interesting company. Marion has the new place looking good. All I need do is sort out a club. Will probably end up racing north road.

Instead of talking about it and fighting various corners, why not just send a doo and see what happens. Seems to me that nobody is asking which organisation/s you are a member of. No fighting is needed. Lets just either do it or leave it to others. Surely some non-shu members will go and we shall see how they get on. Looks like neutral ground to me.

Heading south tonight and fly Friday. I'll be covering thier New Year again so hear you in 3 weeks. I don't know why either. Lets face it you ain't that good.How could anyone think that you could be me when I'm really something and you are really not? Post your name. That would confuse.

Working down the thread, it all seemed a very positive meeting me thinks. Good top table and possibly good men that may talk with other good men. Lets all hope it helps the fancy in Scotland

But sadly to be a member of SNFC you need to be in SHU and for some that wont happen.

Your French is as bad as mine but you are correct Daccy is now not a committee member. He was only on a year or so before he fell out with the old committee then slipped back on at the change. You can take the boy out of the village but you cannot take the village out of the boy
