I would like to thank Mr D & E Ball, Little Oaks, Eyke Woodbridge. Suffolk. who phoned me this morning regarding lost pigeon from madstone race. said bird was hanging around for a few days, and is in good condition, he will feed and water then is coming up to the middle of the country midweek and will release my bird. would like to thank him for the effort he is going to and not looking for any financial gain just helping a fellow pigeon fancier , once again thank you.

A 20 second video does not help, it's time all members at Club,Federations and at National AGM's to insist that a video of the transporters arrival at race point the water and feeding should be videoed as this will be time stamped.the release of the birds should not be 20 secs, more like release the sky,surrounding area and till all the birds a clear (1 min/30 min) however long this takes. in this day and age and every person having a phone with video capability this would be at no cost to Club/Fed, National and cost pennies to post on the internet. The nothing to hide argument states that individuals have no reason to fear or oppose surveillance programs, unless they are afraid it will uncover their own illicit activities. An individual using this argument may claim that an average person should not worry about government surveillance, as they would have "nothing to hide"

Thanks For The Update.

At the SNFC AGM this very subject was raised.? the result that no member was allowed to do this,and only one base is allowed at any location. I was thinking of having one base at my loft in falkirk and one at my friends loft in Dunns then i can pop the clock in the two bases then should have a winner??????????????????????????????.

So easy to lose friends when they feel hard done by or unjust decisions don't go THERE way,Denny members held a meeting as the Midland Fed was no longer operating and we needed a Federation to transport our birds for season 2020. options available were Central Fed or North West Fed or Almond Valley Fed. We approached all three and N.W.F. was the only Federations willing to pick up the birds from denny clubhouse,with Central we would need to transport birds to Broxburn round trip of 45 miles: and only one member was keen to join Almond Valley Fed. At the meeting the options available to the members with N.W.F. being the prefered choice. we applied for membership and the Denny members were all accepted bar ONE MEMBER so at the meeting held in Denny club it was unanimously and democratically done they choose the N.W.Fed leaving one member to fly solo as he was not allowed to join for reasons only known to members of N.W.Fed. my own view is clubs, Federations should stop living in the past and welcome any pigeon fancier to the sport regardless of past indiscretions, we should have central marking and all Feds merge.
