Didn't he offer you a share to drive it down Andy?

Youngbird season is for education and if I was you settle for the experience they have gained and save them for next year. Phil

be interested to see if he realy cares where the birds are! Prob clearing up the beer!

Me to Chris. Tomorrow evening will be fine David, keep him hungry in the morning so he'll come back in tomorrow evening. I would still let junior out as well, again keep him hungry and if you let him out in the evening he shouldn't go off knowing food isn't far away. Phil

contact the owners Andy, get in your car and claim a share of the £30k!

Thought you'd like him Chris! I would be careful tomorrow David and if you do let him out then leave it until evening as the Welsh Combine will be coming over you from Ramsgate. Phil

counting the money no doughbt Tom!

Berwyn's looking well David, has he been out yet?

anybody only had to look at this forum this morning to see the birds shouldn't go up! If it was a fed or combine somebody would be sacked but this won't happen here, they can't sack themselves they'll just start thinking about next year and more money!

beer and food only free after paying £15 to go in!

Gareth, do you think given the fact that no birds have made it, that if anybody had a call this evening with a bird they wouldn't drive it to Cardiff for £30000? I don't think there are many that wouldn't, do you? Phil

:X :X :X :X

maybe somebody wasgiven free entry to get licence?

Do i recall that the region were refusing them a licence? Was it for many of the reasons that have been stated above and why did they issue one in the end?

Thats another story Chris, surely all the birds should be transfered and registered to the one-loft! If an bird gets reported then the breeder will be responsible for the cost of return, but what if a bird is sent without a wingstamp etc, the breeder gets suspended and the one loft organisers carry on regardless! Phil

I think even if there were thunderstorms from start to finish the would have been up, just look at the advert in the BHW Rose, they were committed!

I spent a lot of time at the Gutteman centre, Stoke Mandeville where a lot of dissabled athletes train and compete within there fantastic facilities. These lads & lasses put a lot of us to shame with there enthusiasm and commitment. Phil

whoever gets birds in can be sure they won't be paying a courier to get them back!

All take and no give!

Tim , that was so obvious from the TV programme as well!

If they held the birds until tomorrow where the forecast is good then how many people would take a day off and go? Just look at the full page advert in the BHW to see how much money has been spent, let alone, how many people would have gone today for the Auction of the South West race if there wasn't the bonus of the Europa? Money, money, money and sod the birds!

Its the right time inthe yb season for a 300 miler but we just havn't had good enough weather for a lot of yb races!

Oldyellow, i've never acused anybody of cheating, just seems to much of a coinsidence! Like i've said, anybody thinking of entering have to make up there own mind, but I will never enter it!

like i said redwhiteblue, look at who winners have been and make up your own mind! Brother-in-law or similar relative, then owner of land the lofts were on!
