I know, but Gordon Brown was a good Chancoller for the last couple of years as well mate.
Its crazy and we all know it,but always done it so will continue to do it.
Many a good bird lost to september winds and rain,just as there will be this year.
All these reports are best summed up by saying it is wheather typical of around this time of year, so i'll ask again, what we doing racing young birds from 250 miles on the 6th of September.

All the best, to all in both races over the weekend.
Still not sure why we are racing young birds from 250 miles in the month of September.
Other, off course than the fact that, its always happened.
Good luck
Rab

Bluepiedcock sad story in more ways than one.
I have just return to the sport and find it hard that we have allowed things to get so bad.
There are many reasons we find ourselfs here but weak leadership,with little mind for change has played a big part in our demise.
Enjoy your birds
Good luck
Use to race pigeons short distances a mile.in years goonby the had clubs and raced many times in the one day,sometimes on an knockout basis.
Been away for years
Yes this was discussed at length last night.Some going a bit over the top.
Where you go with you pigeons is your buisness
Wish you all the best for the rest of your racing
Cheers

You right it will never work cause to many will look for problems with it.Two many scared or radical change.
One thing for sure, save on fuel bill for the year and fill the transporter up the way it should be.
You can be sure that the y/b will be home first 9 times out of 10.
The financial implications of this make it at least worthy of further consideration. As would the increase in numbers of birds on the same flight path
Start the y/b season early June national in July.
We start racing to early with o/b.
We could do any age racing together, seperate baskets from the end of May start of June.y/b National taking place within this system when the 250 mile stage comes around mid July.
