well done. No club should refuse any member but unfortunatly the locations of some clubs ddon't permit juniors. Good luck on Wednesday and hope you manage to join a club. Unless you are planning to race this year you will be better applying for membership after the AGM or you may be liable to this years fees. Hopefully the sec will advice you when you see her.

Clue prob in the clubs name! UPTON WORKING MENS S R F C! If based in a working mens club, under 18's may not be allowed membership to the club so would not be able to join the pigeon club if affilated to it!

he's the club sec but will be able to put you intouch with the owner. Does the bird have a wing stamp?

with the loft you have i wouldn't bother with them. If i was to build a new loft though it would def have floor grilles but there would be at least an 18" gap under them with vents around. This allows air flow right from below floor level, and food dropped etc falls through and then they can just be lifted every week or so for cleaning. The best loft i've seen and a 7ft gap under the grilles with a seperate entrance door where a guy could just walk in under the loft and remove the droppings.

east aint it! :P

go the RPRA web site, open the 2009 ringlist and search the town you are looking for and it will throw up your local sec and club.

they don't in comparison to the price of good birds. New starters, which is what the thread refers to would not have the experience to identify problems and it would be cheaper in the long run to have birds routeenly tested rather than treat blind with medication they know little or nothing about but a mate has said "give them this and that its a cure all etc!"

there are a few places, Retford or Lizzy Rigby both seem ok.

get a budgie!

garlic, cider vinigar, multivit, grit, minerals and a test kit for routine testing as a newcomer may not be able to identify a problem!

taken a couple of years ago. Race lofts a couple of dors away, just got these in our own garden.

take your ring off and toss it out by one of the other lofts, it maybe theres but just don't want to claim it! If it is theres it should drop back onto there loft. Best tossed when you know the blokes are out!

just a pale yellow which will race as well as any other.

very nice, are you taking orders?

also juvinille adults sometimes peck toes when young in nest.

I like to see other batches of birds around or out excerciseing when i'm training and hope mine go and mix with others as it will teach them to break from a bunch in the future.

well done, keep them going.

vallance had some for sale

I had a bird came into me, down, flown out! Returned to owner, then the bird won 2 RPRA awards, 2 consecutive seasons afterwards! Should he have been binned?

welcome to the mad house!

And i'm sure the owner will thank you for it!
