Could the "moderaters" please note that although this is potentially a purely innocent question, by members giving out full addresses, phone numbers, etc, this is not good practice due to security and privacy issues !

I think it's a Midlands National ring number. You have to ring the RPRA on 01452 713529 I think Louella also issue a lot of Z rings and they can be contacted on 01530 242255 Hope this helps

Hi Dave Thornton from UK Pigeon Couriers here. One of the problems with being successful is that the phone never stops ringing.Getting a 2nd phone line would not help as we only have one office person.If you get the answer machine out of office hours or at dinner then please leave your name and number, and helen/julie will get back to you as soon as they can. Kev, julie can't get signed in to recieve p.m.'s at the moment. Thanks

Could I through this site give my best regards and a speedy recovery after his operation yesterday, to Rex Doe, Cornwall. a name synomanous with the area, an elderly (active) statesman of the sport. one of the Best. Speedy recovery Rex . Dave Thornton

I used one of their "quality boxes " to take my roundabout hens to the club tonight !! (by the way !! daves better lQQking than Julie and Helen)

last weekend I submitted my advert, so its probably a few weeks away yet

being the head of the biggest pigeon courier company at the present time !! i suggest you try ringing a courier !!

Pete. He wouldn't get Tarbes. He has a right "Janssen" stamp to him, so I fancy he will be better at less than 500. (we have "THE SECRET RED HEN" for Tarbes !!! ) lol. Dave

in the 1970's , my dad and I used to put a platform on stilts with a bowl on for the second round nest, above the youngster below. The reason being the hen would not get pestered by the youngster for food as it is the cock who takes over the majority of the feeding duties after the hen has laid

Wish I could win them !!!

Pigeon Widow (Julie) hasn't been able to get on since Friday and still can't get on !!!

Pigeon Widow is having the same problem

is this direct from "the house of aarden " steve wright ?

we sent 2, i'll be up first thing waiting for the other. then we have 3 going next week to saintes again with the national (we only have yearlings as we have only been at this address 15 months). When i am out delivering till silly o'clock julie has to feed and water them. SO !! she's to blame that we clocked lol . as you can imagine we are well chuffed

Hi, Dave thornton @ UK Pigeon Couriers here .A few things have cropped up on this thread that hopefully i can throw a bit of light on We cover scotland via SPDS normally. The £45 Cost covers both our charge and theirs (up to 6 Squeakers, or 3 Adult birds, then £2 per bird). thats pigeons out of Scotland as well as pigeons to Scotland. The reasons we use SPDS are (a) because they do a good service even up to the far north, and with scotland being quite a large area to cover, then its the most viable way at this present time. This Coming week we are actually sending a van up (fully booked), as SPDS have notified us that they. cannot deliver from Scotland this week. The way we take bookings is - book before 6pm friday for a guaranteed pick up or delivery the following week. as you can imagine i have to do my runs from bookings taken, which i do over the weekend ,and we notify you which day we need your birds at least 24 hours before pick up. We are normally fully booked and can sometimes just squeeze in the odd job that comes late. The phone situation has been altered to give ourselves a few hours off. At first we had the mobile and house phone on 24/7. The mobile was carried by myself whilst out delivering, but answering the phone on the road just meant i was spending more time talking than delivering, so for the time being we leave the mobile off to encourage fanciers to ring the other number. The other number is now fully manned 9am to 5pm monday, tuesday and friday. we know its difficult to get through, as our phone never stops, please persevere, or if you get the answer machine , just leave your name and number and we will get back to you as soon as we can. I will endevour to answer any further questions you may have via our e mail info@ukpigeoncouriers.co.uk. hope this helps . Dave
