Happy Birthday boys

nice wee day out to take the grand weans some amazing looking birds and a wee play area and cafe for a tea and bite to eat

ypres as a yearling national roye liege gold cup 600 mile race with another organization as was said and back to roye would be my wish but i would make a great effort to try and get a lib site at Rennes again as that was the race joe public always asked you about and had an air of mystic about it jmo ps leave the inland nationals to the feds

if one is as good as the other i agree with you steven but ive never had two that good in the same show anyway ill not need to worry about a first in the shows lol

i agree 100 percent pal some of my best birds were only trained as youngbirds and went on to score in the national at 500 miles

it does if im judging steven i would not give an inferior pigeon a first just because its through the moult in a handling class i pick the bird i would like to take home but maybe thats just me m8 like i say the moult is not a fault imo but thats why its up for discussion everyone has there own opinion and its good to hear what others think

im pretty sure it is tommy but ill find out m8

on a tuesday night each week james mcguire and i meet up with our pals from clarkston club where we discuss many topics but mostly pigeons we were talking about the up and coming club shows which start next week and i stated that my birds were no where near through the moult and that most were on there 2nd last flight but i would still bring a couple to the show which is a yb handling class one old timer stated it would be a waste of time as a pigeon that was not through the moult would never beat a bird that was he was shot down by all of us my opinion was that the moult is not a fault and i would not mark down the best handler in the class because it had a flight to go and had infact given the red card myself to pigeons that were not fully through the moult simply because the bird was the best handler whether it was through the moult or not whats your thoughts guys another topic was our feds proposal or suggestion to have six short races for the next three years to try and combat young bird losses which we all thought is a can of worms as to where we race from as we were getting disasters from kelso and all thou dunbar was better for returns the following two races were disasters because the youngbirds were off there route and going past and coming out the north east which is a fact so no one wanted to go to dunbar with our youngbirds with some of the guys saying if its dunbar they will not be racing and will send with other feds my sugestion was 3 from otterburn and 3 from appleby which have been good race points for our fed only one of the company disagreed saying it was not far enough but he was on his own with that one my opinion was im not that bothered as i have already made up my mind the youngsters from my best birds will just be trained and not raced and i will breed some sprinters to play with in youngbird racing again what do you think guys

great night last night really enjoyed it well done mary pride and snfc committee all worked hard to make it a night to remember well done to all the guys that won prizes does not get any better was also a pleasure to meet the great john Hodgson from Annan a true legend and a gentleman hope ive reason to go next year lol
