no they don't unless you want to enter them in flown classes. Most of the big shows have seperate classes for flown racers and show racers.

I'd have to check the ring number but sure its mine, if not it spitting image and the pic is Norman Perry's.

thanks guy's, Mick is on his travels at the moment but will add them to the list thank you.

have you looked in its wing, there maybe the owners phone number or e-mail the number to gail@whpu.org.uk and she'll locate the owner for you.

Thanks everybody.

they will have learnt a lot today! If there was a big batch it could be somebody running a training service and will prob lib about same time each trip so may be worth changeing your time to avoid clash.

this one? http://forum.pigeonbasics.com/m-1245753002/

1st toss under there belt, yipee

cats carry so many bacteria on claws and teeth that a bite or scratch soon becomes infected. Anything that receives cat damage needs a shot of anti's to have much of a chance.

Do you run any trucks up that far Chris?

LOL, will make a nice youngbird shed!

we are looking into transport to get 1 of the scottish one loft lofts down, if he was interested in the other one could possibly share transport cost.

Reply received from the editor:- Thank you for your suggestion, I will certainly look into the possibility of such a page and will put forward your suggestions to the BHW Management Committee when they meet next month. Will have to wait and see but i'll send another at the end of July if i've not had a response! Phil

he will have to run it past the RPRA so lets see if he's got the b*lls to answer members concerns or will continue to hide behind his desk with head in the sand?

sent team for first time this season last saturday and took 2nd, 1 more race with oldbirds then looking forward to getting a full yb season.

I have just e-mailed the following letter to the BHW editor, if this was adopted we may actualy be able to find out what the RPRA are doing if anything! Good morning Mr Richards Can I make a suggestion for the BHW. I belong to a few forums and there often appears to be concerns from members all over the country about the lack of action or response to problems by the RPRA. You already have your “view from the Reddings†slot but I think it would be a good idea to have a questions page where members can e-mail questions and both the question and answer from the RPRA are printed. Surely one page an issue could be given over to this which in turn would build bridges between the membership and the Association as well as enabling the Association to actually here from the grass roots membership and give a reply on what is being done or can be done etc!

p.s if they mess you around at coming in then cut next 1/2 feed back, they'll soon learn.

an ounce is prob a bit light for growing yb's, give them 1/2oz in morning and then main feed after excercise in evening or other way arround if excerciseing in morning. at main feed offer as much as they want until 1st bird goes for drink and then take food away.

Are they onboard with William Harding?

As Runt says, do some homework on which you want. Show racers are happy to be kept in but will also happily free fly if you want them to! Like these of mine.

Yes Jimmy, she's been shown how to Handle the birds and hold them correctly. She's got 2 birds, the white and a kormorner. You have her school details Ian, St Peters, Cassington.

if they have been with you a week and know what your whistle/call means they should be fine.

Vallance had some for sale

when you have got them quiet and they are coming to you for food but before they get to strong.

I think its a good idea, but maybe for out of season when racing is finished etc
