They shouldnt be at any national race John, A federation pigeon with a higher velocity than the national winner would take the shine off your victory

Wonder when this is going to be put on the Website so we know its official

I see Andy Frame has found it neccesary to email all Federation Secretaries regarding people asking to have strays either liberated or euthenised, and reminding people of their obligations regarding these. says he has had complaints regarding this both from fanciers and non fanciers

Anybody got a contact number for Bryan Shipley, Woodside Lofts ?

Cheers for putting the bird on your transporter and also thanks to Clockie for picking him up. collected him today and saw George get one from the National

Sent you a PM

Section B Marking Times Due to lack of assistance race marking for Huntingdon for Section B (Dolphingstone Farm) will be from 3:30pm to 6pm - apologies for any inconvenience!

Getting my 2nd one on the 8th June, was fine with the first one

Dropped in today, had a feed and water, came back in, Ring Book says Lanark and Dist, at Prestonpans, will call Sec tommorow

Put the link on here Bernie ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

Bernie, PM me bank details and I,ll ping a donation thru for Darcy

You must have got a different Email from me then as it is the 21st April on mine

Dougie, its time to ditch the benzing and allow other makes that do the same job

I still dont know why this was railroaded through at the SHU meeting, Clubs should be able to purchase their own ones, ie Garmin, the bull that was spouted about Benzing using 10 or more satellites when a GPS uses only three and the base being used to triangulate the position, the members at that meeting were duped, as they were,nt clued up on what was being said to them. And being only an observer at the meeting you are not allowed to say anything.

Touting for votes

Cheers Jamie, I knew you were usung the FCI rings but thought it was for the Bicc races as well, live and learn

Do you not need to hve rings with the FCI symbol on to compete with the BBC BICC?

Wont matter if they are in Scotland or not Derek, the General Licence refers o the whole of the Uk and until Defra restores this we cant race

Its all down to the General Licence being renewed, the case for that wont have been helped because of the new outbreaks of bird flu being reported down South.

Just had a look, still only the three arrivals

Dont think it will matter as this seems to bean EU rule so Belgium ets will be the same

The rule as is worded now is bird must be timed inside the loft

First one that threatened violence to me or any committee member doing their job or applying the rules their feet would not touch the floor, they would be out of the club and sport.

It’s £15 plus the 50p to the medical research is it not John?

Its the method of clocking that needs looking at Tommy, there are still some who use manual clocks and are quite happy to keep using them, but these traps put them at an even bigger disadvantage so maybe the clubs need to look at the positioning of the pads and bring back the rule regarding sealing the padsin to place at the start of the season. Also those who go and verify pigeons, ie at Federation or National level should be checking that pads are situated so the birds are times inside the lofts.
