you have been so unlucky alan but you have doo's you know that can do the distance that's three birds sent to three races and they are all in the loft well done big man

got 2 birds last night first one at 20.00 then 3 today still 6 to come the race summed up my season crap from start to finish

well done your certainly get the hang of these national races ian

well done Stuart that's some miles your bird covered and john hood if your not in it must be a disaster of a race congratulations to you both

would be over the moon if Davie Allison won it nobody works harder with there pigeons than Davie

great breeding there

good news george

Tomorrow ok for you just pm me your address I will be up about 08.00

where do you train from? we went a toss last week from Dumfries took my bird 7 hours and another well know kamakazi it took his two days although some did make it on the shift to be fair anyone want to take a trip into the leadhill's and toss there young birds i will take them free toss no problem

seen it last week plenty food around here

Mr b am with you on the east side don't go jumping the gun

Forget the west side of france Dover to Calais line of flight for me thanks very much

Just shows how badly it is run I sent an email three days ago asking for there thought on an enquiry still no reply so I will follow it up today with snail mail as I forgot the letter to hand it to mr graven last night at marking

try pigeon chat lot of english fanciers on there

thats tough alright east/west no doubt lanarkshire fed will have a fair ding dong this coming race programme agm Jumping the gun mr b am on your side that's the east side

lost two at messac am gutted too never sent to the inland nationals its been a very very tough season and i will be glad when its over

not trained myself but some club mates telling me tonight 7 left out of 26 (just starting this season) 20 out of 45 9 out of 36 from a toss on monday :emoticon-0179-headbang:

Will members of the Snfc be able to attend and should someone neutral not be asked to conduct an enquiry ?

true doomen i hope it is a kind race to you and your birds

similar to lewis i have been training 13 birds but will leave some out but will choose on thursday morning

there was friday liberations due to take place but both races held over maybe there was another that went on friday

1. get a professional weather forecast team to supply us with up to date weather forecast on call 24 hours a day put our faith in the guys who take the job on of race controller and back them with no expense spared to do the job correctly send them on a course at the met office make contacts with the people who can help us get our pigeons home go for the line of flight of the shortest crossing of the english channel of dover to calais send the race control team over to look at the available good sites on that route two changes i would like to see for next season

if your referring to me only posting information i received on Saturday night and i went to the bother of checking it out and getting someone to back it up and by me posting has pissed you off most of the snfc members are in the same frame of mind and are looking for an answer or theory on why our birds are lost so we can hopefully stop it happen again or do we just except it and move on

Thank you Peter for your honest reply

i also believe jim hannah would not have let the birds go with fog in front of them he can only go with the information he has received.To me something has gone wrong very wrong with the information given to the race control team no matter who we vote into place or remove from race controlling if you tie one hand behind there back they wont be able to do the job http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/training/calendar#ft line of contacts paid for by the snfc to give the correct information and race controllers paid and trained for a very tough job they do and having the most up to date weather forecasting information no expense spared to do the job properly sweeping it under the carpet and hoping it goes away will not help in the future if it costs me another £20 on my dues to help with the cost then that's fine as it cost a lot more for me to train,feed and prepare my birds for the gold cup race sadly that never got a chance to prove my methods wrong or right
