happy birthday tommy

well done to the winners and well done to the clarkston boys who did the work to make this wee show a great success il miss my wed nights out and the good company have a great christmas and a happy new year lads

well done pat

lots of guys saying there birds flying longer in the winter imo a lot of this is to do with what we feed in winter most guys will have barley in there mix or feeding a light mix are the birds finding there correct flying weight just like the saying fat birds dont win fat birds do not want to fly any lenth of time think its all about what your feeding winter and summer how they fly at home or race but thats jmo my birds are out everyday rain snow or wind unless i think there is a danger of being injured

well done bill and danny and all ticket winners also well done to both guys judging

happy birthday pat have a good day m8

rip jim

hope to get every bird in the loft vacinated at the weekend treated for canker and cocci still feeding a high protein mix as most birds are on there end flight will be on barley in the next week or two sprayed inside the loft roof last month with cresote and not had a fly in since so will spray again just before racing starts as its the only thing ive tried to keep flys out the loft that has worked and also a nice smell in the loft like i will be honest and say like many fanciers i have not vacinated my stock birds for a few years as they are prisoners and kept separate from my racers but as this has been my worse year with not long separated youngbirds getting sick and being culled and after studying my breeding books have discovered 99 percent of them were bred from un vacinated stock birds is it just coincidence or am i on to something all the stock birds will be done this year and ill keep you guys informed

what a brilliant night entertainment was first class forgot about the hernia after 5 or 6 drinks lol up dancing all night with daughters and grandaughters big thankyou to our guests charlie muir and danny michell who did a grand job in presenting both clubs trophies and along with big peter had a great night at our table with plenty of laughs and lots of p s taking its what we keep them for guys roll on next year hope everyone enjoyed it

dancing might be suspended tonight hernia is playing up lol

a good night again with good company well done to all ticket winners

looking forward to our presentation night tomorrow the 17th always a great night 18 of my family and friends going grandsons and grandaughters to mr mcguire and i will have a few beers and with my op over and went well ill be ready for the jiggin

correct stuart we have had some realy bad races from newark how quick some forget but imo it will not matter where we go the bop will move with us they have to or they dont survive and they are deff not stupid and for myself i will not be voting to stand for over two hours in the rain at newmains or anywhere else not fit for purpose for inland nationals getting to old for that s t no more inland nationals for me dont mind for the ypres race with the snfc as not so many birds and it makes sence with safety in numbers there is no easy route now and the race controller gets the blame even when he does everything right

me to derek sorry to hear if she is packing in

another great wee show

always a good night james and i will be there good fun good banter

happy birthday you guys

lm just agreeing with you john

id just fit a sputnic trap over that hole m8 with your ets pad on the floor of the sputnic sorted

bang on john we are pandering to the few who dont want it and dont want you to have it and so far the best timing to beat the cheats in our sport

at 3 days thats just what it looks like pat a long legged spider with red legs

not the best position but not bad in club and we are in the west section of our fed which is hard in any club unless we get an east wind but who needs east winds m8

a wee update on james mcguires progress this season james won three first club five second club seven third club and 8 cards 4th 5th and 6th winning two 1st west section fed and a 1st open fed all in only his third season racing and has well past my expectations for him he should also have won his first national diploma in bedhamton 350 odd miles but is not yet a snfc member but should be joining for next season it has been my pleasure to to help and watch james put in the work and dedication it takes to be a good fancier good sportsman and a good friend long may it continue in his dream to be a pigeon fancier your there pal well done

i check all my old stock birds eggs with a light at 3 days if no spider they are binned have done this for years and found 3 days is the best time to check them as the blood veins are bright red and you dont waste any time getting them back down again

last night after angio plasty through the groin to fix a blocked artery in my leg black and blue for a while and bloody sore but glad to be home hope to be back on my feet soon like to thank my pal james mcguire for taking me and bringing me home
