no bob, that Malborough not Marlborough. Its 14 miles west of Newbury m8

Steven, look at the results from Newbury and Messac.

Been to Messac once before, disaster. Only 180 birds in race time, dominated by Solway, ps I timed at 7pm second day and was 150th open

Aye John, total P*** m8. Marlborough is 14 miles west of Newbury. The race points suit the Solway boys again, as if they havent enough advantage

Keep going lads, its for a good cause

I think we have established here that everyone bar one agrees with me that the clock check should be made to accomodate the late pigeons.

I like to see a decent step on every flight up to last 3 which should be similar lengths. Just a preference of mine and no doubt means nothing to the pigeons capabilities.It comes down to theories again, eye, throat, vent wing, all just theories

I like to tend to ALL my pigeons, not just one or two that have been fortunate enough to be at the front that day. What about your main pigeons for the nationals/classics, dont you want to see how they return etc. Beats me why we are rushing back with our clocks. I flew in a fed, in the Open races with central marking, you had to return your clock to the clock station an hour after timing. I flew to one of the furthest locations so after timing had to leave with my clock. When i got to the clock station, usually their were only a few pigeons timed and sometimes no poolers. This meant coming away back home to time in another bird and returning my clock again. Total nonsense and bad management imo

What if you stay 25 minutes north of most members. The time you get your first pigeon it is time to leave with your clock. Thats not enjoying the race as far as im concerned. ps. Bacardi is my middle name

Eh,you run off clocks on Sunday not Saturday, simples. How the hell is it more hours for the clock setter By the way, I did the clocks as well as secretary

On a race day, why do we have to return our clocks so quick.Some clubs want you back with your clock an hour after you time in For me, this is crazy as you are not enjoying the full race and welcoming all your pigeons home. When I was secretary of Kirkintilloch and we werent part of a fed we used to do the clocks at 11am on a Sunday.Mind you, we were all ets, so variation etc didnt apply. This let you enjoy the whole Saturday watching your birds come in. If you run off the clocks at 11am on a Sunday you can do this for every race in the year ( providing no holdovers )Why the rush to get your clock back ??? Pigeonmen are crazy.

Thats good Colin, be up next week and ill drop your peds off and collect it m8 .

If he was in the Armadale radius then he should have been let in as a member. Sorry state the pigeon game is in with guys wanting to say theyve won this and won that when flying against nobody.The poor fanciers are keeping the good ones out without giving a reason. Shameful behaviour

Heres hoping D

What, if yer east of anybody, yer in a favourable position,its easier for you, thats a fact Derek, you know that. West Lothian in the worst part of section D and East Region. Thats like saying West Lothian isnt any harder than Edinburgh

Excellent buy m8, whos birds were they?

This is probably an excuse for the real reasons Gareth

Rennes site was stopped because of lack of amenities. For 30 odd years it was used and was reported to be a bad site These are not my words, these are the words of a past SNFC convoyer. We have not used Rennes since 1999.

Aye, I remember now Andy. Is your Reims doo aff it

Duthie has done very well in the SNFC for years now. The Andrew Deans birds have left their mark in Uddingston lofts as well Jim Where did that Ref G end up Andy

Have a good yin Gary 40, I doubt youve had a hard life M8

Did he not get the best of his mate John Duthies doos as well Jim? Duthie is top flier and won Gold cup 2010

waterville favours everybody and maybe could turn out a west section winner but this cannot happen as the one eyed bandits in the east couldny face it
