  8. Race controllers do a thankless job , If not happy with them vote them out or choose to be a fair weather flyer and pick and choose your races
  9. I believe a pigeon can make it through any conditions , there's always a few that make good times , remember the 98% rule only a handful will ever be winners no mater how well bred they are , in simple terms if you don't like the conditions don't send or watch the results in hard conditions and try to get the best hard day birds you can get , in racing having the fastest birds doesn't always give you hard day birds you need both in your loft , Janssen based and sootgen pigeons are great on hard days and also fast birds I let two strays up in light drizzle last weekend even worse down the country with mist and they both made it back , quite simply if pigeons are good enough they will do the job a head too many paper birds out there they simply absorb the water and fall to bits when the going gets tough . The biggest motivation anyone can give there birds is love of home they don't get that from been hammered down the road in all states of tiredness , watching your birds at home flying around loft tells you exactly what there fitness levels are , tired birds exercised miles from home are only feeding the countless bops on route Just the way I see it if there good enough healthy enough fitness and form comes with good management and love of home is the thing most knock out of ybs , there only young birds for a few short months and there the future of your loft luck after them
  10. 100% returns although weren't home to time my arrivals due to late liberation
  11. weren't it true that you didn't have history at school as it was just called ' Current affairs ' :emoticon-0136-giggle: :emoticon-0136-giggle:
  12. good ventilation and plenty of baths
  13. there must of know the exact amount of prize money after they received the last entrant ???
  14. just watched the liberation training place bloody hell I wouldn't of singled up from there !!!!!
  15. can always ask fer half yer money back lol , how can they do that when you enter and prize money has been offered at start then they should see it through otherwise it's nothing short of fraud !!!!
  16. this one loft has been a disaster as long as it's been run , there never going to make it work they can't keep the birds in condition to start with by the results of last race for last few years
  17. have made elderberry wine years ago strong stuff , my mother had one bottle popped it's cork she gave one away and guy made another gallon from it , needless to say made a right mess in airing cupboard :emoticon-0136-giggle: :emoticon-0136-giggle:
