PIGEON_MAN

Now you got me more confused,who is right linda or sqare peg,i guess i will have to talk to unikon my self. :-/

Sorry Carol i am trying to make sence of this,i am also a secretary and am trying to find out as much as possible about the ets as i think it will come legal in the u.k. before very long.

This is what would happen at our club,the clock would be reset if you wanted to clock in on the second day,but what i cant understand is what linda is saying,in that if you have the ets read on day one thats it you cant clock in on the second day or that any birds that arrive after you have gone to the club would only be classed as trainers as all the race data would be wiped clean.

Going to the show at Aberdare tommorrow not sure if the Unikon stand is there but if so will have to ask the guy to explain this one.

Hi Square Peg,i see from your posting that you say that your second bird would be timed in if you had allready gone to the club,but would they be in the result as linda and fifer say that they would only be classed as trainers because all the race data would be wiped from the clock by having the first bird read,i just cant seem to get my head around this one at all. ??)

How about you guys up there in Scotland surely this as happened up there on the long races someone must know the correct answear.

Linda,as i have said that is the ruling at the moment weather that would have to change i dont know,but at the moment if you clock in on day one then you have to have your clock read off on that night,then if you want to clock in further birds the next day the clock as to be reset the same night,

CAROL JUST TO CLEAR UP WHY I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE MY CLOCK TO THE CLUB ON DAY ONE OF THE RACE IS BECAUSE AT THE MOMENT THAT IS THE RULING,SO AM I TO TAKE IT THAT YOU CANT USE ETS FOR A TWO DAY RACE IF YOU HAVE YOUR CLOCK READ OFF ON DAY ONE.AT THE MOMENT WITH ORDINARY CLOCKS THE CLOCK WOULD BE RESET ON DAY ONE IF YOU WANTED TO TIME IN SECOND DAY BIRDS,IS THIS NOT POSSIBLE WITH ETS.

SEEMS TO BE SOME DIFFERANT ANSWEARS ON THIS POINT CAN SOMEONE SAY FOR CERTAIN WHICH IS CORRECT.

LINDA WHAT WOULD HAPPEN THEN IF I WAS WAITING FOR BIRDS TO RETURN FROM SAY A 450 MILE RACE,IT TURNED OUT TO BE A HARD RACE AND SAY I HAD A BIRD ARRIVE LATE AT NIGHT,I,VE GONE TO THE CLUB TO GET IT CHECKED WHILE I,M AWAY ANOTHER BIRD COMES,YOU SAY THAT WHEN THE CLOCK IS HOOKED UP TO THE COMPUTER IT WILL DELETE THE REST OF THAT RACE,S IMFORMATION,SO WOULD THAT MEAN MY SECOND BIRD WOULD NOT COUNT AND WHAT IF I WANTED TO CLOCK IN FURTHER BIRDS ON THE SECOND DAY.

Linda just wondering if the latest advert from unicon overides your above statement, this is from this weeks BHW,Even without the pocket clock the unicon loft clock will still clock your birds,so if you are away at another club with your pocket clock you do not have to worry about missing a single bird from another race.

Cant seem to find what time the show opens and closes anyone know. :-/

AS 2007 WOULD BE THE FIRST YEAR BIRDS COULD BE SENT TO THE LOFT(AS LONG AS THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS) THAT WOULD MEAN THEY WOULD BE TWO YEAR OLDS IN 2009.JUST WONDERING WHAT OTHERS THOUGHT IF THIS WAS A GOOD AGE TO SEND BIRDS TO BARCELONA OR WEATHER THREE OR MAYBE FOUR YEAR OLD WOULD BE BETTER.

I WOULDN,T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN TO SOMEONE ELSE MY TIP FOR PICKING NEW STOCK BIRDS AS I ONLY GO ON THE EYE,PEDIGREES OR PERFORMANCES MEAN NOTHING TO ME WHEN CHOOSING A BIRD TO BREED OFF.I WOULD SAY THAT I HAVE BEEN SUCCESFULL 99% OF THE TIME IN MY PICKINGS USING THIS METHOD TO PRODUCE WINNERS.

WHAT WERE THOSE ROSE ? "PAY RISE"

SORRY DIDN,T REALISE WHERE THE LOFT WAS SITUATED,BUT I SUPPOSE MY QUESTION THEN WOULD BE DO YOU THINK THAT BRITISH FANCIERS WOULD BE ABLE TO SEND BIRDS THERE TO PARTISIPATE AS THEY WOULD BE GOING SOONER THAN LATER I WOULD THINK.

DO YOU THINK THAT RACING FROM THE CONTINENT WILL STILL EXIST IN 2009.
