Trainings ok if you have 2 separate teams like me and Walter, George The smaller team goes up first as they aren't as fit if you know what I mean. If everybody did this then the pigeon game would last for many years.

When I was young we never trained our obs, we flagged them after 200 miles for 1 hour morning and night. We could tell when they were hitting form when doing this. Maybe methods are different now and sometimes we must adjust and go with the flow.

Use your imagination, haven't you read the threads on here for years m8.

Same everywhere Jim,ye have to fight back m8.

I think all birds need trained but only a couple at the start of season for the old campaigners. But if they fly well at home then you've won a watch and can save a lot on fuel.YBS is a different kettle of fish, they need plenty of training imo.

IM A FEKIN INSOMNIAC AS IT IS LOL without more shyte in ma heed lol.

So I was right ? JOCKEY

I agree with you Davie, maybe someone that's still on the committee from last year can enlighten us on anything that was discussed and decided by the committee about YPRES before this years agm.

He had his first professional fight in August 1961 when he fought George McDade at the Kelvin Hall, Glasgow, winning by a technical knockout in the third round. He lost his third fight to Jackie Brown on points, but then continued to build up an impressive list of wins. In his tenth fight he fought Jackie Brown for the British and Commonwealth flyweight titles. The fight was in May 1963 at the Ice rink, Paisley, and Mcgowan won by a knockout in the twelfth round. In September 1963, he defended his Commonwealth title against Killer Salomon from Jamaica. The fight was in Paisley, and McGowan won by a technical knockout in the ninth round. In April 1964, he challenged for the European flyweight title, held by Italian, Salvatore Burruni. The fight was held in the Olympic Stadium, Rome, and McGowan suffered the second defeat of his career, losing on points over fifteen rounds. In December 1965, he stepped up a weight and challenged for the European bantamweight title, held by Italian, Tommaso Galli. The fight was again in Rome and ended as a draw after fifteen rounds. In June 1966, he again fought Salvatore Burruni, this time for the WBC world flyweight championship, which Burruni held. They met at the Empire Pool, Wembley, and McGowan won a fifteen-round points decision to gain the world title, despite sustaining a badly gashed eye in the seventh round. Cuts were to prove a major problem in his career. In September 1966, he fought Alan Rudkin at the Empire Pool, for the British and Commonwealth bantamweight titles that he held. McGowan scored another fifteen-round points win, despite suffering a cut eye in the tenth round. In December 1966, he defended his WBC world title against Chartchai Chionoi in Bangkok, Thailand. The Thai fighter won and took the title when McGowan suffered a badly cut nose in the ninth round, and the referee was forced to stop the fight. The two boxers had a re-match at the Empire Pool in September 1967, but again the Thai boxer won and kept his title, when cuts to both McGowan’s eyes and his forehead caused the referee to stop the fight in the seventh. In McGowan’s next fight, in May 1968, he lost his British and Commonwealth bantamweight titles to Alan Rudkin. The fight was at Belle Vue, Manchester and Rukin won by a fifteen-round points decision. McGowan fought six more fights, all against foreign boxers, winning them all, before retiring. His last fight was in November 1969 against Domenico Antonio Chiloiro.
