you are not really up to date with the important stuff are you vincent :emoticon-0136-giggle:

i am the race controller--if i needed the postal address of a lib site i would contact the fed secy--simples

do ye think we could go on and win it now vinnie ? :emoticon-0123-party:

surely you got to be in it to win it!! that is the nature of competition

with all your years of experience racing pigeons i would have expected you to know that the fed secy is the man with the info you require.

BASKETING FOR COWDENBEATH (REPLACEMENT FOR KIRKCALDY) IS GOING AHEAD ON FRIDAY AS PER NORMAL, 20 BIRDS PER CRATE. ALL MEMBERS DISTANCES FOR THE NEW RACE POINT HAVE BEEN SUPPLIED TO THEIR CLUB SECY AND ARE APPROX 1-2 MILES FURTHER FOR US IN KEIT SO I ASSUME THAT THE DIFFERENCE TO MOST MEMBERS WILL BE ABOUT THE SAME. NEXT MESSAGE WILL BE SATURDAY AT 08.00

IS IT NOT POSSIBLE THAT THE BIRDS SEEN OVER KINTORE WERE YOUR OWN ONES ? THE VISIBLITY AT KEITH AT YOUR LIB TIME WAS TERRIBLE AND I BELIEVE WAS MUCH THE SAME BETWEEN HERE AND ABERDEEN.

hear hear!! looks a cracking place for liberations

left turriff at 10.40 and it was looking like a great day, fantastic here with a good southerly breeze, atb to all who put birds

BASKETING FOR ARBROATH IS GOING AHEAD ON SATURDAY AT THE NORMAL TIMES, 25 BIRDS PER CRATE FIRST MESSAGE WILL BE AT 10AM ON SUNDAY

due to crap forecast for saturday basketing is being postponed for 24 hours, forecast for sunday looks a lot better so far. As i am judging at Turriff show on Sunday ( yes mr able i was asked) your president will assist in controlling the race. next message friday 8pm

was that one of the rockets squeezing onto the fed result this week? :emoticon-0123-party:

does being inbred not entitle you to a parking permit :crying:

that would be october as well then :emoticon-0179-headbang:

so we start in september and finish when exactly ? first week november

start yb racing in August or later you mean september????
