  1. which water do the birds cross flying from thurso. the forth???
  2. if there is a record of which basket each bird is in they just have to re rubber that basket otherwise the whole lot should be rerubbered. ets rung birds should have their registration ring recorded. personally i dont see the need to rerubber if the registration rings are checked

    Libs today 10/08/08

    dundee were timing in from about 11.10 so their birds would be in the arniston area around 10.20 when yours would (or should) have been long gone. satisfied?
  4. how are the fife and dundee returns
  5. a few thoughts....... 1. there are not enough fanciers or pigeons to support 2 national clubs in scotland. 2. the prestige of winning a national has been devalued by having 2 clubs. 3. snrpc members keep harping on about snfc membership being restricted to shu members yet to join the nfc you must be a rpra member. 4. if the infamous vote had gone the other way those who lost the vote would not have run off and formed another club. why not rejoin the snfc and try again 5. there are enough reasonably minded members in both clubs to get round the table and sort the differences out. its time for those who cant see the wood for the trees (in both nationals) to stand aside

    marking postponed

  7. how did the race go?
  8. best suggestion for a long time...........dont think it`ll happen tho too many stubborn folk on both sides
  9. anyway i hope there are a lot more birds tomorrow but its been a hard day for them no doubt about that

    Is this a record?

    i think it may well be a british record. i think there was a bird or birds timed in fraserburgh or peterhead from nantes a few years ago but i may be wrong. that would be around 720 miles. some of the north guys will know
  12. the birds are good enough the weather was crap. well done getting them all home. what were your times and from which race(s)?
  13. and the nfc drop their rule that you must join rpra
  14. totally agree there is not enough members or birds to sustain two national clubs in scotland. there were members from snrpc at the Ypres race.
  15. think its a secret
  16. hows the race going havent heard much news
  17. 300 at Tours lib at 8.45 Ypres lib at 8.00 am not sure of entry
  18. approx 1440 as there are 144 open positions on result at 1 in 10

    snfc alencon

    Great stuff. Well done to pigeon and fancier. Two outstanding winners in both nationals on Sunday.
  20. Can't go by treading alone. Hens will tread hens, hens will tread cocks, cocks will tread hens, and cocks will tread cocks. just like humans...anything goes lol
  21. i think it should be REmoved completely from the site. how this has been allowed heaven knows! i dont personally know any of those involved but some of the allegations made could land folk in serious bother. the matter should have been dealt with in the proper manner through the proper channels i.e club, fed, shu but it is difficult to see how a balanced verdict could be reached now.
  22. changing direction slightly (pardon the pun) many on the east side of the country are not happy with west of scotland feds racing down the east route as it increases the risk of clashing especially with young birds. maybe if the west feds went on sunday this would help
  23. unlikely i would guess
  24. contact union (rpra or shu or whatever) & explain situation. hopefully they can advise
  25. well i`m one. and i dont clear off to the pub once the first birds are home either. thats not why i got ets
