SEE MY PM.WESTY

TAM,YOU WILL PROBABLEY GET AS MUCH USEFULL IMFORMATION BY USING THE OLD METHOD OF HANGING A PIECE OF SEAWEED OUTSIDE YA BACK DOOR AND KEEPING A EYE ON THAT THAN YOU WILL BY TAKING ANY NOTICE OF THIS NAVIGATION THING. ;D

HOW ABOUT GOING ONE STEP FURTHER WITH THIS,YOU,VE SORTED YOUR BIRDS OUT AND THEN ONE COMES BACK THAT HAD WON A COUPLE OF RACES IN THE EARLY PART OF THE SEASON AND THEN LOST,BUT THERE IS NO WAY YOU WANT TO KEEP A EXTRA BIRD.NOW IN THE LOFT YOU HAVE A PIGEON THAT YOU PAYED A LOT OF MONEY FOR,I.E.PEDIGREE AS LONG AS YOUR ARM,PARENTS DONE EVERYTHING BUT YOU,VE TRIED THIS PIGEON WITH ALL YOUR BEST HENS AND IT ASN,T BRED ANYTHING ANY GOOD,YOU,VE PERHAPS HAD IT ABOUT 3 YEARS SAY, WHICH BIRD WOULD YOU KEEP.NO IF,S OR BUTS JUST ON WHAT I HAVE WROTE.

I WOULD SAY THAT MOST FANCIERS START TO PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR AFTER THE LAST YOUNG BIRD RACE AND CUT THE BIRDS DOWN TO THE NUMBERS THEY REQUIRE FOR NEXT YEAR,SO WITH ME THESE BIRDS WOULD PROBABLEY THE FIRST TO GO IF SAY IT WAS A CHOICE BETWEEN ONE THAT HAD FLOWN THE WHOLE PROGRAMME OR ONE THAT HAD BEEN LOST AND COME BACK AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

I THINK I WOULD STILL PUT IT DOWN TO A MALFUNCTION IN THE BATTERY IF ONLY FOR A MOMENT I THINK IT COULD BE POSSIBLE.

WE HAVE ALL BEEN INVITED TO STAY AT SPEEDBIRDS FOR THE WEEKEND SO NO NEED TO BOOK ANY HOTELS.LOL.

EVEN IF THIS HAPPENED YOU CAN STILL GET A PRINT OFF OF ALL THE CLOCKINGS E.T.C.THAT IS IN THE MEMORY.

THE ONLY THING I COULD THINK OF WOULD BE SOME SORT OF TEMPORARY PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY,I WOULDN,T THINK ANYTHING ELSE WOULD CAUSE ANY SORT OF PROBLEM WITH THE LCD SCREEN OTHER THAN THAT.

YEA BUT DID YOU THINK TO CHECK THE BEST BEFORE DATE ON IT LINDA PROBABLEY ABOUT 1945..LOL..

JUST WONDERING WHAT OTHERS THOUGHT WAS THE BEST TIME TO INTRODUCE YOUNG COCKS THAT HAVE BEEN ON DARKNESS INTO THE WIDOWHOOD LOFT,I HAVE TRIED BOTH WAYS I.E.PUTTING THEM STRAIGHT INTO THE WIDOWHOOD LOFT AS SOON AS RACING IS OVER,ALSO LEAVING THEM TO MOULT OUT AND PUTTING THEM IN THE LOFT AFTER THE MOULTS FINISHED.WHAT ARE OTHER MEMBERS THOUGHT,S ON THIS,PERSONALLY I HAVN,T NOTICED MUCH DIFFERANCE,OBVIOUSLEY THEY SETTLE DOWN BETTER TO THEIR NEW SECTION THE SOONER YOU GET THEM IN THERE?

WE DO HAVE SO CALLED SPRINT PIGEONS IN OUR TYPE,S OF RACING BUT I,M NOT SURE THEY WOULD BE BETTER THAN THE BIRDS THAT HAVE BEEN USED TO THAT SOUGHT OF RACING,I BELIEVE THE GUYS YEARS AGO USED TO CALL THEM MILERS WEATHER THEY ARE A DIFFERANT BREED I DONT KNOW BUT AFTER A FEW YEARS OF BREEDING AND RACING THAT WAY WITH SOME OF TODAYS RACERS I SUPPOSE THEY WOULD ADAPT.

GAZ SEEMS FROM YOUR LAST POSTING IT IS DIFFERANT NOW TO HOW I KNEW IT.

WILEY I BELIEVE THE RACING DISTANCE THAT GAZ IS INTENDING TO FLY IS AS HE SAYS A MILE,THIS SORT OF RACING GOES BACK YEARS AND WAS VERY POPULAR UP NORTH I THINK, WHAT BASICALLY HAPPENS IS YOU HAVE LOADS OF GUYS LINED UP AT THE START WITH THEIR PIGEON IN A BASKET ON THE FLOOR,AT THE GIVEN SHOUT ALL THE BIRDS ARE RELEASED AND THEY FLY IN A STRAIGHT LINE TO A EMPTY BASKET WHICH THE GUYS MATE AS READY THE OTHER END SOME DISTANCE AWAY,ANYTHING UP TO A MILE I THINK.THE FIRST BIRD INTO THEIR RESPECTIVE BASKET AND THE FLAP CLOSED UP IS THE WINNER.I THINK THATS SOMEWHERE NEAR AYE GAZ.

WILEY,YOU SAY THAT YOU GIVE THE BIRDS A FINAL BATH,SURELY A BATH AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK WHEN THE BIRDS ARE IN THE MOULT IS MORE BENIFICAL.

SO WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY DRIES THAT THE RPRA DIDN,T DO AS MUCH AS THEY COULD OF TO CONVINCE DEFRA TO LET US RACE FROM ABROAD.PERSONALLY I DONT THINK IT WOULD OF MADE A SCRAP OF DIFFERANCE THEY MADE THEIR DECISION AND WE HAVE TO STICK BY IT AND I THINK IT WILL BE THE SAME FOR A FEW YEARS TO COME.

TO MANY YOUNGSTERS BEING BRED FROM PIGEONS WITH LONG PEDIGREES AND BIRDS THAT HAVE DONE WELL RACING,IT DOESN,T MEAN THAT THE YOUNGBIRDS WILL BE ANY GOOD,HAVE FOUND THAT MOST OF MY BEST YOUNSTERS ARE OFF BIRDS THAT HAVE NEVER RACED.

CHEERS MATE BUT HE AS GONE NOW FED AND WATERED HIM FOR A FEW DAYS THEN LIBERATED HIM.

HAVE KNOWN IT ALSO HAPPEN WHEN SOMEONE AS PAID LOADS OF MONEY FOR A PIGEON THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BRED LOADS OF WINNERS AND THEN BRED NOTHING FOR THE NEW OWNER.

SEVERN VALLEY UP AT TRURO 12.45 L NW.

I WONDER WHY SAM,YOU HAD BETTER START PUTTING THOSE SEXY PICTURES UP AGAIN.LOL.
