Its ok if they know what basket it came out of, to take numbers.

Not sure on the exact rule. But if the convoyer reports an escapee, the race is null un void and needs to be raced again, i would have thought, just my opinion.

Welcome m8

I fully agree with you rednyellow. I,m all for bettering the sport and keeping it alive.

YES.There is an inbalance in the bird population, which needs to be addressed, NOW!!!

Go to the googl bar and type in Frank sheader yorkshire, it gives you pictures and contact details.

Dont go in the oven, go in transport that is in the best interest of the pigeon. If it means using a state of the art trailer, then so be it. It will be in the best interests of the sport if we start to build again, instead of dismantling it.

Go together????????????

What would be the potential problems if the 2 nationals did share the same transport and cost?

Nice mix pearse, how do you get on with them?

I,ve e-mailed them, thanks guys

Thought that merlin thanx

Is that Murray brothers, jimmy?

thanks jimmy

Does anyone know the best place to purchase the Dordin strain, be it stock birds or young birds, Thank you.

I joined our great sport when the SNFC split, for whatever reasons. And also Fife Federation split for whatever reasons. We now have SNRPC and SNFC at national level, and also Fife Federation and Kingdom racing pigeon club, at federation level. The aim is the same, to race our birds. I feel very saddened at the politics, but cant feel that it is the fancy ourselves that are being destructive to our sport. Surely if all the facts are addressed with the best intention of sport and sorted, surely we could help each other, before we kill our own sport. Theres always going to be differences of opinions, which is normal in any body of sport. I would like to see common sense prevail, and we all get our heads together, sit around a table and strenghten the sport, not destroy it. Only an opinion. For the record i flew my 2 out of 3 years with the snfc, for no other reason, than thats what the majority of members in my club were affiliated to. And i also flew with Fife federation, for the same reason.

Is this guy untouchable or something, to hell with asking, just go and take what is rightfully yours. After all he never asked you did he. What club fed and national is this low life belonging to. Tell us all and they can kick him out, dont just walk away, sort it out.

Good luck shadow. I,m sure theres a reason, all the best

Have you tried phoning him, there may be a logical reason why he's not answering. God forbid he isnt in the middle of a crisis. Its a shame when people put themselves forward to help the sport, that they get pelters from every direction when things arent going the way they expected. I appreciate that theres interest, but he may be in a predicament that is out of his control. Only a suggestion.

Hope they return m8

A lot of Fife birds were coming out from the north as well clocky. It seems like the south west wind pushed them further up the way than expected. We only have 1 race from Kelso this year as oppose to 2, then its into Otterburn for 1 as oppose to 2. The thinking behind this is, that the fanciers who didnt go to the first 3 races ie kelso,kelso,otterburn, then jump them in with the trained boys (to get a pull home with the experienced ones), they are now forced to join the young bird season quicker. I dont understand people who cant be bothered going to the first race, after all the season is short enough.

Thank you shadow.

Thank you chickadee.

I,m moving to sunny Lochgelly lol. Thats where my wife is from, and my mother-in-law is going to looking after our wee boy. I,m in the process of helping the club at Lochgelly apply for a lottery grant for the ets. As i know what i,m doing with it i,ve been appointed ets conveenor? They have all been realy nice and have offered to help me move. Thats what its all about eh. Just cant wait to start flying again, my young birds are bouncing but cant be raced till next year, but i may have them ready for the kelso come back in september.

Thanx again guys, appreciate the best wishes. Will keep you all updated with my move and how i,m getting on with my birds ect Continued good wishes for the remainder of 2008.
