my thoughts were for every Federation to be at the same racepint at the same time and to have a joint liberation,for example welsh north road ,rhondda valley ,south west glamorgan and all the west Wales feds.People are going to want to know where the Welsh birds are on a saturday,especially if we are liberating 20,000 piogeons.

Just been looking at the weather for thursday and thats not very good,cloudy with showers.Nice day for friday? what do you do for the best,put them in tomorrow and see what happens or have a holdover until friday?.going back to the thread,still think that the Welsh fanciers should get together, all that are going southeast and have the same racepoints and a joint lib,i know in the begining the wind will have a big say in the outcome of the result but the birds will be in Wales and not up country.

i dont think going south would be the answer,their having difficult racing as well, with low velocities and poor returns.Do we have too many old bird races? on previous years we would have 2 Hullavingtons ,2 ,Marlboroughs and then down further ,are they getting enough experience. My personal view is we were later than usual with the young birds and people were rushing them down the road to get them in bacause there were no double races therfore they have had no exsperience.Surely the way forward is WELSH birds all together in the same racepoint.

Most of the welsh pigeons once again took a belting this weekend from Newbury,losses reported from clubs throughout the fed.top fanciers loosing half of their teams after only 4 races.For instance in one club alone fanciers having 27 out of 50 11 from 34 this seems to be the norm with most members. The federation (SOUTH WEST GLAMORGAN ) have decided this week we are going to Epsom on wednesday for a thursday liberation just to avoid the clashing. i just wondered what members views are on the clashing.Should the welsh pigeons all be in the same racepoint at the same time and liberate together. That way other feds will want to know where we are to avoid clashing with what could be 20,000 birds if we were all together.Or do we have mid week racing to avoid the clashing.Surely for me the best option would be to ALL go to the same racepoint and liberate together,their all coming into Wales.what are peoples views.

south west glamorgan fed we are at NEWBURY 90 miles to me. i think most of the welsh birds are at NEWBURY this weekend.

This is what i have heard,because of the bad wheather at the start of the young bird racing a lot of fanciers are behind with their training and certain feds are looking to help these fanciers, personally i dont think they should alter the racepoints other fanciers have their birds trained and are preparing for the nationals,if they want to get extra races in then put them after the nationals why should we suffer for the fanciers who are behind. putting races back 2 weeks defeats the object of the darkness system.you put them on the system to have them in condition for these races. keep to the original programme.

clamoxyl is the antibiotic given by vets at 40mg amoxixillin like was stated is for humans.clamoxyl is a amoxicillin bases antibiotic,but this is far to strong for pigeons. hope this helps. nigel.clamoxyl is only given for severe infections and IS used for young bird sicknes as a last resort .
