  1. I'm with the snrpc and the snfc due to my dad . I only started last year seriously to help him and learn but I got the doo bug and am now hooked. I don't know about all the politics sh.t but I did notice last year that when sending my birds there was no eyeballing and whispering in corners when I was marking with the snrpc the same could not be said for the other however I'm still in both and will attempt to race with both so I'm saving my judgement till after my first season racing on my own. In my limited opinion if guys could stop bitching and slagging each other off and concentrate on racing doos the whole sport would benefit just my opinion
  2. 14 weening 4 eggs first round looking good
  3. Mate Gordon Geddes is who helps me with all the unicon stuff u could try him
  4. I have been at this a tea break I don't know much but I can see that this great sport is suffering I have only been at this for a few years but have lived it through my late father for twenty years and the only reason I didnt take it up sooner was that I never had the disipline to put up with all the bitching but after being badly injured in Afghanistan I could not compete at a high level in football and found pigeon racing could still give me a competitive outlet, I think that there is a lot that this sport can give to younger men as well as the older generation and my question still stands is how do we advertise or educate people as to how good this sport can be . I see a lot of new members joining this site and a lot of what they see is grown men that could not agree on the colour or sh.t lol we need to find a way back to making this sport great again . I don't know enough to even start but the experience on here is vast I'm sure if we all stopped arguing for just five min we could come up with one or even two good ideas between us it can't hurt to try.
  5. Lads let's not turn this into another on line bitching session this is about how we can all improve our sport and attract not just young new members but older ones aswell I'm just new to this sport but lived with it for years through my dad but the only reason I never got involved was because of all the moaning and bitching . I want this sport to get stronger and want to know how we can do this
  6. Hi Duncan we lost two members today from Clackmannan but the question I have for everybody is can we do anything better to try and promote our sport more to attract new members . A lot of people who ask me questions about pigeon racing always sound fascinated but I think the lack of promotion and encouragement leaves many potential new members with to many questions . How can we all work together to solve this.
  7. Cheers boys I'll just have to do my best
