Poppy Loft

7 gone to Blandford, 88 miles. Hope to do better than last week when my first bird took over 3 hours from 90 miles, with the winner doing a shade under a mile a minute. My own fault I only gave them one toss on a different line and they took an hour and twenty. Back to basics this week, 3 good tosses from 15 mile on old line, home before me each time so fingers crossed.

Not from me mate I'm a Hereford fan, we sold our cabinet years ago! Just think he is overpriced at that age on the back of one season when he stayed injury free

Good business from arsenal, injury prone prima donna with one good season. Ham string by september.

Blandford 88 miles, Herefordshire fed

Just had my 4th back from north, obviously gone way over. Pleased to see her, 3 to come.

Having a mare! 2 from 7. 90 miles. First bird took 3hrs 10! Other members got birds doing 60mph. Oh well back to the drawing board!

Still quite a misty haze here. Sun trying to break through, however if anyone is racing from Hereford I would think it will be a while before they are up.

7 or 8 to Basingstoke 90 miles, Herefordshire fed. Took them an hour and twenty last night from 12 miles so dont know what to expect!

Superb!

Fantastic! Brave wee bird, chuffed for you

Well done all!

Isn't it a fantastic feeling when you see that first one over the horizon! I know how you feel, well done and hope you get the rest home mate!

Just had my last one home, he did three victory laps around the loft and then pranced about on the aviary showing to anyone that would listen! Pleased to see him, but 8 and a half hours from 63 miles!

8 out of 9 from marlborough. 1hr 25mins (63 miles) 4th club quite a bit off the pace but pleased for my second race.

Cracking set up! Puts my 10x8 coverted garden shed to shame! Hopefully aspire to that in a few years! All the best Colin.

9 going to marlborough, 63 miles. 8 flew it last week and one who wasnt ready is bouncing now and well trained so he's off. Will keep close eye on weather, so far seems ok for sat morn early but deteriorating as the day goes on.

Any more worked in mate?

Marlborough again, 63 miles to me, Herefordshire fed.

Thanks, I will give it my best!

ME! First race for 15 years and I took 1st and 6th club. Bought birds off this site! So happy

My first race for 15 years today and Toms birds have won me 1st and 6th club. If I can win with them anyone can, absolute quality! Have birds from 5 different places and Toms were my first 3. Keep your big money well known stock lofts, I know where I'm off for some late breds, thanks Tom.

Thanks ALF,andy,tiger and stb, i am so chuffed! And even better they are both birds that I bought from an advert on here! I am going to put a note on his advert as they are quality birds.

7 from 13. My first race for 15 years and I won! 1st and 6th club

Thanks ALF

Thanks Andy
