they did something similar 2 or 3 years ago went to aberdeen after the edinburgh race and liberated them on a day you wouldnt let ducks out they were in roofs all over north of scotland dont know if any ever got home. i got one in that time and phoned mobile number about a dozen times on wing stamp but got no answer

exactly which is why i never have and never will enter one of these events

i think the deadline was put in so lots of guys dont turn up on the day unexpectedly but in reality they are not going to turn someone away. did you send aldo? if so good luck

what is your solution?? start racing young birds in the middle of june so they have experience to go to 250 miles at end of july?? and we could start the old birds in march!!!! if you dont want to race 250 mile in september keep them at home. pentland are racing from newark on 27th September and there is every chance the weather will be better then than it is now

snfc held over at leicester

spot on tim a fact some guys cant grasp. best of luck whenever race is

and up on monday in a sw wind will suit them perfect

why are any marking anyway dont think we`ll get a race til monday

i think you will be ok if you go along but best to phone sec first. where is your marking station

sorry it was alencon they race marked 2 days before race

why do the snfc have to mark on thursday for a race from leicester. for gods sake they went to tours marking 48 hours before the race. And in view of the forecast shouldnt they be considering delaying the marking

its the same old story in many clubs the willing horse gets all the work. sadly most members dont give a toss and dont care who does the work as long as its not them

they`ll be fine if they follow the east coasters up to kelso lol

must be gods day aff

sorry to hear about your uncle. YOU are the future of the sport the younger generation who are not afraid of change. There are too many stuck in their ways and are holding the sport back. Numbers are dwindling and there is not a lot we can do about it as there are too many other things to take up folks time nowadays and keeping pigeons or any type of livestock is a 365 day a year job. Clubs (and federations) will have to amalgamate as there are far too many clubs with four or five competing members. When I started most clubs had 20+ members. I have seen results in the papers with 3, 2 or even 1 member flying. How can that give any pleasure? Competition breeds success. Dont be afraid to fly against the best. There are also too many fanciers who sit back and expect others to do all the work and fill the official positions in clubs but they are the first to moan if things dont go their way. Sorry to ramble on but I hope you stay in the sport

how did your race go?

it is used weekly during yb season to return scottish strays to their owners. transporters or volunteers collect strays from their own area take them to the stray centre and collect any strays for their own area. i think the shu charge £2.35 per bird and the feds then add their own cost. a lot cheaper than amtrack!! thought the rpra could have something organised. shu lead the way again

when are the first birds timed
