Don't know where the olympiad will be after Budapest but it's every 2 years and deffo wont be the same place.

Not going, we're going to the Olympiad in Budapest,the same weekend..

I was like a Burst Baw all Sunday!!!

:D :D

If the first inland national is a wee bit tough, I think yous could struggle with your yearlings, with this "sprint" programme, also most didnt get very far as youngsters! I also think this is the reason why there is a lot of losses at the first national due to the fact there is a lot of inexperienced yearlings. Maybe yous should have given the west route at least another year as its straighter. Your back to teaching the birds to fly round corners...JMHO and good luck.

Good luck with your outcome m8

Walter you said the liver had cysts on it, this would eventually crystallise as the birds get worse and die.I was under the impression this is definately paratyphoid and not paramyxo as a vet told me this some 25 years ago?

Channel races how about Reims, Ancenis, Ypres, Falaise. All on different weekends. Gives 2 from East & 2 from West (Compromise)

well done all

Fed Beans for years during moulting and the lead up to channel racing

100% Michael.

Im sure you will John and the very best. At least we have something in common, with the exception of a couple of club members my section B position is the same.

John, Wouldn't dream of telling you how to fly your pigeons, I'm actually agreeing with what your federation has tried to do this season with their race programme. Im also not quote "trying to work out how to stop Billy Billsland." unquote, but I'm sure he will win from the channel too if not the National probably a couple of sections with 2nd Opens. Maybe you should try to work out how to stop Davie Elliot being streets ahead in the west too!! Lol.

The first 4 lines upto "train stopped and released them." is spot on. The west section twice this year have never had a better chance to win an SNFC race for years. Normally the statements on here is "Easy for the East boys in that wind" (west or S/W) As for the YBN with the exception of the winner and Mr&Mrs Elliot, the rest were ta-ta time! as to where they should've been, and yes the east dominated again...Some will say its due to the fact that there was only 100 odd pigeons away and 70 odd in Solway, absolute p*sh. When the conditions are suiting your region, if your pigeons are good enough, properly prepared/trained/fit etc, and with a wee bit of luck from BOPs, the top fanciers/pigeons should be up with the leaders. This is not a dig at the west, more a wake-up call to some. My opinion is you've started racing the west route and some got their youngsters to 220 miles, in difficult and testing conditions on the day (headwind) but IMO you have to stick at it, and push the youngsters on, with the west route, and not teach them to fly round corners (east route), do your bit to sort the BOP problem and I'm sure your aspirations will be reached. This is only the opinion of someone who flys 40 miles w/n/w from the Eye Valley area in the same section!!Lol..

Well done to G&L Firth on winning the National

Should it not be SNFC Ian?
