http://www.timeandda...n&afl=-11&day=1 05.47 local time guess its 04.47 here

sunrise was 5.47

would be wary of the early morning mist in the channel might be ok at the liberation site but sometimes needs a few degree's to burn the mist away over the sea mind that was the convoyers report

like anyone andy you pay your money you take your chance !! surely you have took a chance and failed more times than you get a good yin

nightclubs am there to look at pigeons five days peace and quiet loft visits

they must measure from the racepoint to your loft location surely i know in my club we have a large ordnance and survey map and our secretary puts a pin in the map where the loft is guess they do the same with the racepoints

she is on facebook too george

think the scottish homing union use the northing and easting lines to measure distance

hopefully we will be able to visit the loft of raymond when we visit in march if not i sure hope he will be at houten show went his sale in blackpool and the boys that bought them have had good results with the offspring so hopefully i can add some to my loft

well done John great performance from your bird and a great picture hopefully it does this business for you in 2011

Right what john is saying frank regarding things being highlighted at the agm ,just a wee guess in my opinion as others also are thinking ,Bovingdon region that sent most birds complained of very few returns yet most that i spoke to in our region including myself got 100%,Eastbourne what a fiasco heldover because of wind we are not talking youngsters here we were talking experienced doos maybe more wind direction me thinks sorry cant help telling the truth no use lying takes another to correct it,why change the gold cup john duthie proved it could be won in dundee a worthy winner ,Bourges was a disaster for those who sent lot of very good doos went down at that one ,agree with gareth got to give the birds the best chance of making it home which meens cross at the point with least water common sense ,Robbiedoo spot on with his comments as well,it is hard enough these days trying to build a team especially at the distance so why put obstucales in there way ,some will agree some wont at the end of the day we are all entitled to our views,to me i love racing my doos and competing but there are more important things in life i think the correct decision was taken at eastbourne the wind was blowing a gale that day and on advice from locals who were there said there would be a chance the birds being on the coast would have been blown out to sea and the chance the birds would end up in france the bird i got from eastbourne went on to score in clermont we all want to race doos but give them a chance

Thanks for the reply john hopefully the committee that proposed the racepoints will say why at the agm of you would not want non members on here having a say on the fine club that is the snfc

John surely someone in the management committee said there was a problem with Reims,Bovingdon and Eastbourne so that's why they came up with other racepoints it would be good to hear what problems were encountered at the above locations before the vote at the agm or why the management committee came up with these new racepoints

that's what i done this year save myself a wee fortune and come the old birds they will have them on think more people might do this in the future

great offer good to see guys helping others

was that the race jim hannah of blantyre was 2nd open to jim farmer

welcome John mostly racing pigeons on this site but i am sure you will find some good people to talk too with plenty of helpful advice. cheers frank

thinking along they lines as well

so its all your fault your right jim shot at dawn

there only trying there best and giving an opinion on racepoints your being a bit unfair with your comment

good to see what people are thinking on the racepoints hopefully i can get to the meeting and get my vote in and another thing its good to talk about pigeon related posts for a change

your off subject what way should we vote liege/reims or somewhere else

can you answer me this why do birds in inland races drop into the south section in droves and the west section are miles behind why is that its only 60- 70 mile

not wanting any pigeons lost mate just trying to make my mind up if i can get to the agm which way to go in the vote
