  5. Below is what Joe said last year: m now in my 8th year of coordinating the Sporting Challenge, which was first created to help promote the sport of pigeon racing within Scotland, with the main purpose being to have a one bird nomination competition emerging between fanciers that compete against each another in the SNFC Gold Cup race from Reims with their nominated birds. The highest placed bird on the open result becomes the outright winner of the sporting challenge. The selection for entry into the challenge is I ask the first 2 fanciers in each of the 7 regions from the previous year’s Gold Cup race if they wished to partake in the sporting challenge. Out of the 22 people asked only 14 fanciers are prepared to take up the challenge. The previous year's winner is always asked back to defend the trophy and I’m happy to say that Maskame & Mackie from Peterhead have accepted this year’s challenge and they are going for the ‘Double’ with their very good blue cock Richmond Maverick. Last year we again experienced a very hard race with only Richmond Maverick being the only bird on the open result and many good pigeons did not make it home. The other invites went to my Fancier of the Year Dennis Anderson of Annan and the runner up turned down the invitation. Like last year I have again given the fanciers the opportunity of introducing a reserve pigeon in the event of them loosing their original candidate. This was well received last year although it was more work for me I have found it very interesting compiling the information on all these wonderful pigeons.

  12. Hi Does anyone know how I can transport pigeons from Frankfurt back to Edinburgh/Glasgow. I have checked airlines and the vast majority don't allow pigeons from Frankfurt to fly to Edinburgh/Glasgow. Does anyone know an airline that does allow it, or another method I could use to get the pigeons back to Edinburgh? Thanks

    unc bourges 2007

    i live in scotland dont have handbook
  16. how can i get 2007 bourges result from unc 2007
  17. 48/ `1000` 49. 500. 50. 1100.
  18. all the best this year 2010 " bye the way im in a bad loft location in region d as when they come round the ski slopes. then fly in west s/west giving rest of the fed overflight and thats what beats me check for ur self " ask any member in the central fed
  19. 22 nat tickets all in the open result not 2 bad for this year. 8 the year before not bad only been flying old birds here 2 years ;D ;D ;D 30 open snfc tickets.
  20. region "d" east section i fly in which means i fly against st. abbs about 60ml s/east of me just 10 ml of the west section. when u sit in one of the best bit in the west section if the birds come out the east as u say. because that means u get overflight of them all in the west section. and in club racing ur a desperado no matter the race. and other members in ur fed win.
  21. The worst place in Scotland to fly pigeons must be Stranraer.
  22. delboy come 2 east calder plenty houses for sale. and there.s no problem 2 get in a club here. how did u do flying against almond valley in 2009
  23. the hardest thing for birds is hours on the wing which the north section have. because of there distance. but if they come up the east they get every mile they fly in the north. where if u fly in central scotland if the birds come from the east they come up 3 valleys ie gala vally. or the lauder valley or the a1. i think that all the good birds that get good pos come up the gala valley hoping 2 stop as much of the dog leg as possible but from the ski slopes they still have 2 dog leg because of the pentland hills they have 2 come round them. when they come from the west they come out of a74 and dog leg from abinton so either way we have 2 dog leg. which means either side if there birds with them flying north u cant beat them. but thats pigeon racing. all the best 2 all for 2010. well done caitlin great post.
  24. got mine 2 day 22 tickets this year
