theres a coincidence ,some of my pigeons look like turkeys

welcome home

morning folk,s

misty morning here

nothing spectacular ,ive regurgitated fish & chips myself

just like a training toss here for the pigeons

I was surprised Del , when I moved up there wasn't one planned ? . last club back in Wales we had 2 a year ,presentation night when all trophies and prize money went out .we invited other clubs to come along ,with raffles ,young bird sales ,food & drink was always a good night. also had a mid season do all were invited , food & drink again , with karaoke ,had some cracking singers from other clubs within the fed come along .

was originally issed to Rectory Lane h.s. ,North Yorks fed , sec J.A.Stevenson 01287 636533 .

does your club still have a presentation night ? we are looking to re-instate ours this year

never easy to hold a decent conversation about any subject on the internet Owen. we cant see each other for facial expression or tone of voice etc. yes the points you have listed would be a good start ,if you can achieve them ?

the quote was because you are far more knowledgeable than me Owen. I was hoping for some guidance as what to do. I agree fully ,we wont last very long at all if we don't sort it out. I have tried to make changes at the home end , but have no control over the birds when they are in the basket . cant even make suggestions as to what would be better once they are away to race , because personally I don't know .

morning all

yes pal

was Seaforth looking for more birds ? maybe a PM ?

good offer Barry , well done

thank you for your reply Owen. can you give guidance to a lesser read man like me. should we first try and identify which cause was relevant to each bad race ?? I am thinking of the "bad" races I have experienced .for me our 1st yb race had poor returns .I after asking discovered a North road fed had liberated just prior to us and North of us with an old bird race? there were no notifications I believe ,in the press ,or by contacting any other liberations due. again with "bad weather" when all appeared well ,bad weather hit them at a few locations ,and another bad race experienced. another case where many previous card winners were lost and yearling,s who hadn't seen that distance homed well ,if a little later . how do we deal with these issues ? I don't know ,do you maybe?

had a few gifts ,exchanges this year . 2 lasted until the last race .I have yet to learn how to hang on to youngsters that are gifted to me

sounds just like a normal youngbird race anywhere in the uk , at least once a season over the past few years .
