lol could not afford a bike andy

as a school boy i used to take my birds in a cardboard box 20 miles by bus and single them up

if you can also get them flying an hour or two at home id say yes m8

shame peter so much for helping a fellow fancier m8

i always thought the word bowl was derived from bolt hole which some old fanciers called there trap

was a great night with great company and a good laugh my ten trophies are still awol in the boot of my son inlaws car but they will get here shortly im sure hope charlie and old danny had a good night and safe journey home well done to big alf tam and peter white for making sure all went well and john carrigan for a lovely meal john does well by the pigeon men and its all over for another year roll on next season nor me ian

lol

hey keep me out it jim and i were out at smokers corner half the night did not even know ye spoke about it peter and im as deaf as you to boot plus i was still trying to figure out why the judge was not spending anytime with my hens that were in the cock class lol but to be fair id have lost money on it not being in this years book wonder why

a thought you had retired craig lol its a good wee night out peter well done on your card looked a nice pigeon m8

shut it i had a senior moment again lol

great wee night again well done to all the card winners no tickets for me tonight but jim won the hen class and i won a raffle prize a drinker and a grit feeder chuffed with that and a blether and a few laughs with the guys what pigeons should be all about good night good company

its not easy anywhere colin and good luck to you m8

lol

well done peter then it will be a good surprize if your 1st open pal lol

only if he wants to win a national robbie lol

as john feenie use to say its the graveyard of champions peter ive lost some great pigeons at the gold cup but id say if anything this post proves is that many roads lead to rome and all types of feed and training methods which brings me back to you must have the right birds or your wasting your time you can be lucky and get a daff one and be king for a day but to be consistent you need a good family of birds and that takes time but again jmo

well done who ever he is lets just hope people dont try to baffle him with science

im just being a realist m8 but ive also found to my cost three and four hundred miles is not 500 plus miles i found the birds that won for me at three and four hundred miles could not do the gold cup it was different birds in my loft but your birds maybe different it was the birds that came later in these races that scored over the 500 miles for me but your deff going the right way ive been 5th open on the day and timed the first bird in the morning to be 11 th open but there all fed the sameway as we never know if its going to be a day race in our section and as wiley says they have to have the fuel and a lot of luck to imo but i wish you all the luck in the world and dont be put off with what anyone says as its all only opinion pal

and a good pigeon wiley like ive said on here before if you dont have the birds it wont matter if you give them rocket fuel imo

happy birthday you guys

eastcoasters mistake was moving to the west or centre of scotland if he wants to win a national although we can all wish a section win with a good open position is more realistic and lots of eastwinds to boot outwith that it happens once in a blue moon over here or a disaster of a race but thats just my opinion

well done guys sorry did not make it tonight

used it for years now peter but never had that problem m8

thats why its a two day race peter

you been reading the same cook book as my mrs peter
