  13. cheers sapper756 , there be thousands of systems master one at a time and stick to it for one season , then you'l get the best system ever and thats experience , then you may decide to look at other systems best time to do this is at end of racing season , but master one stick to it , see if there are areas where your lacking and improve , as for videos i dont find them very explanitory for new fanciers as the many videos that i have seen take for granted the watcher knows the ins and outs before viewing books tend to be more descriptive so therefore more informative , as for the Mark Cauldwels system i have heard of this flyer and yes he flys a good pigeon the choice is up to you but the Dave Allens book i would advise to anyone wanting to fly there birds on widowhood to reach top levels in this our sport . Good luck and enjoy your birds

  18. yup the same usualy happens in most clubs the secatarys job is a thankless job that no-one wants , but its the same few that call the sec from a dog to a pig if they get it wrong but wont stand up to the plate when the jobs offered to anyone , then the secatary usualy ends up doing it for another year, realy this job could be broken down to share over a few members , like ring secatary ectra.
