Naedoos people will keep bringing it up cause their not happy. That will probably continue until its all dealt with, as it should be. Fanciers are fed up with being kept in the dark and want to know what's going on, what's wrong with that? There are hundreds of irate fanciers (life long members) wanting to know when its all going to be sorted out in the open. You don't want people to say anything, best keep stoom don't rock the boat and so on.Why, please tell us. Do u Know whats going on ????? You seem to be quite happy with the current state of the goings on at the moment. Or are u one of the many unhappy growing number of fanciers that are slowly beginning to run out of Patience because of a lack of transparency ????? Can u honestly say you are more than happy with all this hanging over a once great club ?????????? :emoticon-0127-lipssealed: :emoticon-0127-lipssealed:

Its a bloody disgrace, birds of prey have got more protection than children and children are harmless. Children at times don't get enough protection, you have all seen the horror stories on tv news with children being neglected, case after case of child abuse and all sorts. There's not enough funding to do it properly we get told by social workers and the like. What a joke an absolute scandal. However there's some spare cash, well lots of it really to help the rspb to spend on setting up nesting sites and protection programmes for birds of prey that are supposedly rare. Yup that's a great thing for the government to do really amazing isn't it. Meanwhile Schools closing because of lack of funding, just a lack of funding in schools in general, and also the NHS. Makes me sick. :emoticon-0179-headbang:

Just have to try and avoid the area Peter, when the weather warms up a bit during May/ June better to go earlier before those murderers become active. :mellow: :mellow:

Good pics, nice n tidy well done.

Trust you Andy, bet ur face isnae always like that though lol. more like or maybe :o lol.

Welcome to Basics, hope u enjoy.

Jamie the National Flying Club fly from Saintes which would be APPROX 720mls, to Elphinstone a fair old fly for any pigeon. I think it is usually after the Scottish National Programmes are finished so should be about Sat 24th July this year. They may have changed the dates this year though, you would have to check their Programme . I,m pretty certain you would be able to get to a Marking Station further North and get ur birds marked at Sect J, or : Sect K, If U wanted to. :D Forgot about Sect L which is probably the nearest to yous guys.

Yes Jamie I wondered what the little logo on this years GB rings was for, I just found out at wkend they are from FCI which the RPRA are part of through the Confederation. Or words to that effect. I had to get my Daughter Dani to give them a good sketch over to se what it was that was on them lol. Best of luck to you and your pops when you enter some of the BICC races. Most of us have enough of a time getting them from 500/600 plus mls, but I admire people that have a go. Will be interesting to see if a few more Scottish fanciers take up the challenge, I know we have the birds.

I think a Friday was chosen simply for that reason. Sky to themselves as I say as there is a lot of pigeon traffic ie Liberations on a Saturday across Europe. If the pigeons are fortunate enough to get up on the Friday they could get a very good start. At least the SNRPC are giving the pigeons a chance of racing on a Friday and I would like to thank the Committee on that point for thinking of the pigeons and not about peoples egos. That's whats wrong with the sport these days not enough people thinking about the PIGEONS! :emoticon-0137-clapping: :emoticon-0137-clapping:

Its Troyes geo. About same distance as Tours. Flown on fri 3rd July. Sky to themselves.

A think al give John Ellis a call see if he fancies having a go at it this year from Barcelona. :huh:

where abouts did u get the porto cabin m8 ?

Shocking guys really feel for you and ur poor pigeons. I know iv'e been scudded with percy a couple of times at Leven. Think the bar steward comes off the big chimney there, must be able to se for miles around. There's also the near by quarry, I know someone who works near by and he sometimes collects rings from the area. When checking who the pigeons belonged to he found out they were local as well as race birds from all over Britain. ITS ANOTHER SCANDAL THE GOVERMENT ARE DOING NOTHING. Probably no money to be made in it for them, so there's no interest what so ever! In the meantime we suffer along with the poor pigeons of course. :emoticon-0127-lipssealed: :emoticon-0127-lipssealed: :emoticon-0127-lipssealed: :emoticon-0127-lipssealed:
