weldone j watson what like are returns

edinburgh premier club R CAIRNS 0131 477 3038

it looks good eddie but it is not.as it was just myself and son scott and jakie frazer that sent both ian,s in club turned up to help out also rab h with some strays. all 3 have called it a day with yb,s as lost to many. just hope gav and dougal turn up with birds next week.our we might be the only members sending.at least the guy,s that have stopped racing are good enough to turn up to put birds through .or then i would not be racing then again i would get birds put through at 1 of the other clubs in fed. the only good thing to come out of todays race was which bird do i pick 1st as got 10 drop together

1st g cairns and son vel 1085.9 2nd g cairns and son vel 1083.4 3rd g cairns and son vel 1081.8

the letter is crap his 1st line you have no doubt read the letter in the BHW. he should know i don,t get or read the BHW.

how many have a say in a s.n.f.c race control team

i flew birds from 1997 to 2005 aswell .note i said flew and not raced as i knew nowt then and very little now

thought i would put a wee bit up on how i train my yb,s and why. when i got back in to racing in 2009 .i would get yb,s out everyday and let them fly to open bowl. i always rattle the tin at feeding time.yb,s are quick to realize that the rattle means food (well most of them).when yb,s start to range (fly out of sight for half hour or more) then i would start training from 10 miles and build it up to about 25 miles. weeks before the 1st race in 2009.i lost my fair share of yb,s training with bops the stress of getting caught and put in basket almost daily to run the gantlet of bops and all the rest thay encounter when training i won a few yb races in club in 09 but the late rab ritchie had me beat a few times. i said to him one Saturday after he beat me .that must be all the training your given them. rab said listen son the only time my yb,s have been in a basket for training was 3 day,s before the 1st race. i took them to sutra hilll about 11 mile to rab,s. he also said my yb,s are out evry morning for as long as they want and do plenty flying then. i did not believe him and knew that magnus helped him so gave him a phone .he told me word for word what rab said.so 2010 i let yb,s out everyday .i trained them on the Wednesday Thursday before 1st race from sutra hill 10 mile to me .then 1 suta hill each week through racing .the yb,s got trained from 17 mile the week before or yb open newark 216 miles to me. i had a very good yb season and was lucky enough to take 1st 3 in club and 6th 8th 9th open yb,s newark. 2011 changed things and has a bad yb season. this year 2 10 mile trainers from sutra hill wed and tur before 1st race .all birds home bar 2 race 60 miles .2x10 miles training 2nd race 60 miles all home bar 2 2x 10 miles training sutra hill 3rd race 87 miles all home bar 2 again. alot of fanciers that train more and from further have lost more than i have.i am by far not the best at flying yb,s in my fed but hold my own. with very little training . their are some that have trained alot less than this in my fed and yb,s are doing very well . so worth a wee bit of thought do we really need to have or yb,s running the gantlet of bops and other things that their up against day after day.

a 10th of convoy home on the day. thats like our race controller saying it was a good race from leiceter as 10% got home on the day.we would be teling him i lost a lot of faith with the s.n.f.c and LOST A FEW GOOD BIRDS that day. time for a new rule when birds are put in the charge of race controllers their left in their charge.the person or persons that moved them west after being at race point for that long HAS NOT GOT A CLUE ABOUT RACING PIGEONS .

i think if you are not a member you can pay £10 on the day.to be sure send a £10 cheque or P/O in to now be sure .

nice birds good offer

thats some horse outstanding

Saturday does not look very good for a race in to the lothians looking at long range forecast.Sunday looks better but racing in to a north wind that will test the yb,s. midlothian fed are at thirsk about 130 to 140 miles for members

good flying john

well done

good offer john you could swing by mine on way down another consett won,t hurt them
