RIP Jacko. Condolences to the family.

Great team performance 👍

I managed to get in touch with an official of The ALL ENGLAND ROLLER CLUB and he said he would get back to me this evening.

The bird AERC 2023 7268 is in a loft in Dundee. According to the SHU the ring was issued by THE ALL ENGLAND ROLLER CLUB, the phone number I was given was for the past secretary who is no longer involved. Does anyone know the current secretaries number ? Thanks in advance.

Thanks also to past national winner, Iain Scott, Forfar who is kindly donating a youngster.

Bump

CPH number, vaccination sheet and Vet visitation attestation form.

It is with sadness that I inform the fancy of the passing of George Briggs this afternoon.

It would have been easily missed as it wasn't listed with the other Nantes winners. It's good that the SNFC are going to have a 600 mile race in 2024. Good luck to you in the coming season, you did well last year 👍. Cheers Brian Donnelly, Dundee.

It was flown in 2000 - W & S Aitchison, Eyemouth won the race.

Well done the Coutts Brothers, delighted for you !👍

Rest in peace, condolences to the family.

The Gibson cock you mentioned, was actually bred by the Smith & Thomson partnership and it, along with it's nest sister, were bought at the Dundee & District club squeaker sale by Bill Gibson. As yearlings Bill Gibson entered these nestmates in the SNFC Rennes Gold Cup race [ 580 + miles] where the cock made the result, the hen however, returned a few days out of race time. Not long after this Bill Gibson packed the pigeons in and gifted the nest pair to his near neighbour, the maestro, John Ellis. If I remember correctly, the Gibson cock scored in 5 SNFC channel races and his son also had a good record in SNFC races. I'm not sure of the Gibson hen's record but I do recall John Ellis still sending her racing at 9 years of age. Like all the Ellis birds, they were given the "works" where his motto was - "flee the buggers oot"! John Ellis gifted me a late bred Blue w/f hen in 2001 direct from the Gibson cock. This hen was the granddam of a hen to score - 13th open SNFC Clermont 541 miles, 23rd open SNFC Alencon Gold Cup 570 miles and 104th open SNFC Clermont 541 miles. The late John Duthie won the SNFC Gold Cup race twice and both his winners contained 50% Ellis blood.
