Happy birthday pal all the best from me and Karen

Hi guys I’m in maspalomas Gran Canaria while on a bus yesterday seen a lib of about 20 crates of pigeons anyone any idea who’s birds maybe Tenerife olr ? Don’t think it’s the Gran Canaria birds as I hear their lofts are in maspalomas ?

Lost my old pied cock last winter bred by jock Alston .bred my 2008. Snrpc national winner with numerous other cracking pigeons .he was a 1997 bred cock .

Hope to be there .but all depends if I'm finished early enough .

What's the classes this week guys ?is it y\cock handle old hen peep ?

Thanks andrew .aye no doubt I'll get cut to about 12 .think we all needed the outing to brush off the cobwebs .said to jonesy about the 16th Dec troon ?weather permitting.

First one this year at hollandbush lesmahagow , poor turn out only 5 played although wee had an adjudicator in John Quinn who has a sore hip I think .

Cool Charlie .Matt had birds with him too ,but the wrong ones thought I said old clocks and young hens .it's an age thingy.lol

U must have them in great order pal well done .and all card winners .

I'll check way my pal in morning he was doing marine ply 18 at £20 a sheet .

Correct but further East than whitburn/Blackburn .and they are in East section/region.

Come on David he's not West expletive remove .have a,look at a,map Colin u never came West to gain an advantage ?

I agree but no-one moves West either .

Good luck Craig

What happens when more want to go one way and there's not enough room ? Best thing is it you have two transporters is when the numbers drop and your down to using one way at around 250 miles the other could go to a spring race yes to race but would give guys a good toss especially when jumping birds a fair bit .

Salou for 4 nights on the 30th too busy to take a full week off .

It was my fault .couldn't get reception to call Secretary .had to walk for about 1\2 mile or so to get one .even turned my phone off and back on.

Spoke to jimm Hannah a couple of weeks ago about this .There are no wee birds about .the swallows the finches etc have already left .the sparrowhawk is now hungry and our pigeons are on the menu now .had a squeaker hit and it was relentless trying to get it even after i chased it off it twice .cheeky bassa .it didn't get its dinner glad to say .

Best wishes Harry .

Well del and johny .strange we go up half an hour later mess about lib site the same as your birds for about 10 mins .you guys get a great race although slow we get a hammering but over 100 yrds \min faster .one guy getting a bird reported in workington expletive remove .
