Any club base station can kill the race

you can only kill race on a club base station

You will need to get clock struck off before you can clear the race. Don't think you can synchronise clock with pc when there is a race still live

Thanks to all who have congratulated me on timing last night. I would like to give credit to the breeder, Paul Thomson of Forres (Blue Chequer Pied) We were drawn together in the Joe Murphy Young Bird exchange two years ago and this is one of three birds Paul gave me. You need a bit of luck in this game sometimes! On a less positive note as John Hood said the returns are terrible. I only have one from eight and there are some of my best pigeons missing. There were 33 birds timed at the Dundee clock station from around 300 entries. Returns for my club members as far as I know are 1/9, 5/18, 5/11, 0/6, 0/6, 0/6, 0/15, 0/6. Don't know the answer but we cant carry on like this or channel racing is finished. David Liddle, Forfar

Yes a disappointing entry except for Section C. My club (Forfar) has an entry of 80 pigeons plus another 6 non SNFC birds in the convoy. Hate to say it but I think Ypres is having a detrimental effect on the entry for this race.

Well done also to Gavin Ferguson. 2nd Section 4th Open with the pigeon which was 5th Section 27th Open Maidstone and also 6th Section 13th Open with his Maidstone section winner. These two cocks are father and son!

Just had Dave Glen on the phone confirming he is 1st Section C 1st Open SNFC Ypres. Congratulations and well done Davie!

A fellow club member had a Maidstone bird reported in Essex yesterday but the bird had a note on its leg saying it had been released in Guernsey

whats the best in the north willie

You have me confused mate. The best place to be on Tuesday was Section D. But only if your name was Tam Blair
