SEVERN VALLEY FED START YOUNG BIRD RACING THIS WEEK FROME FROME.

HI ALF,NOT SURE HOW YOUR FED CHARGES THE CLUBS FOR TRANSPORTING THE BIRDS BUT OURS WORK THIS WAY,IF FOR INSTANCE IT COSTS THE FED £1000 TO TRANPORT THE BIRDS AND THE CLUBS SEND 1000 BIRDS THEN THE FED WOULD CHARGE EACH CLUB £1.00 PER PIGEON,IF THERE WAS 2000 BIRDS WENT THEN IT WOULD BE ONLY 50p PER PIGEON,SO DOESN,T MATTER HOW MANY GO THE FED NEVER LOOSES OUT IT IS THE CLUBS UNFORTUNATLY,ESPECIALLY IF THE CLUBS HAVE PERHAPS DECIDED TO SAY CHARGE 50p PER BIRD BEFOREHAND.

SORRY KAZ TRIED 118500 BUT NO PHONE NUMBER FOR THE SECRETARY,WHERE ABOUTS DO YOU LIVE KAZ THERE MAY BE SOMEONE ON THE FORUM WHO IS CLOSE TO YOU WHO COULD COME AND PICK IT UP.

KAZ,IF THE NUMBERS YOU CAN SEE ARE THE ONES DIRECTLY AFTER THE LETTER THEN THE BIRD IS FROM MALTBY NEAR ROTHERHAM,THE SECRETARY OF THE CLUB WAS IN 2003 A MR.COLLEY BUT THERE IS NO PHONE NUMBER,I WILL LOOK IN NEWER RING LIST,S AND SEE IF I CAN FIND A PHONE NUMBER.

KEV,JUST A FEW IDEA,S,IF EVER I GET A BIRD REPORTED BY A NON FANCIER THE FIRST THING I USUALLY ASK IS THERE ANYBODY AROUND YOU THAT KEEPS PIGEON,S,I ALSO SEARCH THROUGH THE RING RIST AND TRY AND FIND A CLUB WHICH IS CLOSE TO WHERE THE BIRD IS USUALLY YOU CAN THEN GET A FANCIER TO COLLECT IT FOR YOU AND TO MAKE SURE THE BIRD IS O.K. TO HAVE SENT BACK,SOMETIMES IF YOUR LUCKY THE FANCIER MAY LOOK AFTER IT TILL IT PICKS UP AND THEN GET IT LIBERATED TOWARDS HOME (NOT MUCH GOOD THOUGH FOR A YOUNSTER THAT MAY HAVE BEEN LOST OFF THE LOFT)BUT THESE IDEA,S MAY BE WORTH A TRY TO SAVE HAVING THE BIRD IN A BOX FOR SOME TIME.

IS THAT A NEW RACEPOINT WING,S.MEANT.LOL

BILLYMAC CHECK OUT WING,S POSTING 6TH JULY HE HAD THIS BIRD IN THEN, I GAVE HIM ALL THE IMFORMATION.

HI WINGS,99.P.29652 WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED TO THE PENRITH BEACON F.C.SEC THEN WAS A T.A. MARTIN PHONE NUMBER THEN WAS 01768-865159 MIGHT BE WORTH A TRY,I,LL SEE IF I CAN FIND THE CLUB IN A MORE UP TO DATE RING LIST.THAT WAS A BIT OF LUCK WENT STRAIGHT TO THE RIGHT PAGE,SAME SEC,NEW NUMBER,01768-862736.HOPE THIS IS USEFULL.

HOW FAR IS IT TO YOU TONY,HOPE YOU GET A GOOD ONE,OURS ARE AT THURSO DUE TO GO UP IN THE MORNING 451 TO ME.

SEVERN VALLEY FED ARE HAVING THIER LAST OLD BIRD RACE FROM THURSO,450 MILES.

THIS RING WAS ISSUED BY THE MIDLAND NATIONAL FLYING CLUB SO YOU WILL HAVE TO NOTIFY THE RPRA ON 01452-713529,OR SEND AN EMAIL.

I WAS ALLWAYS TOLD THAT THEY NEED TO BE ON DARKNESS FOR A MINIMUM OF 16 HOURS PER DAY,DO MINE FROM 5 pm.9am,AND TO TAKE THEM OFF IT 4 WEEKS BEFORE THEIR FIRST RACE.

WORSTED DAY SO FAR KEEP GETTING THE SAME MESSAGE AS BEFORE ALSO NOW GETTING A SOFTWARE FAILURE MESSAGE.

PAUL,IBELIEVE THAT YOU FIRST PUT THIS POSTING ON ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AND YOU HAD SOME VERY GOOD ANSWEARS ESPECIALLY FROM ROSE WHO INVITED YOU TO GO AND SEE HER LOFT AND ALSO THAT SHE WOULD TAKE YOU TO THE LOCAL CLUB,WHY DONT YOU TAKE HER UP ON HER OFFER,SHE WILL INTRODUCE YOU TO THE LOCAL FANCIER,S AND PUT YOU ON THE RIGHT TRACK,WHAT MORE COULD YOU WISH FOR.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE THIS MESSAGE TODAY,COLDN,T GET ON THE FORUM FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AT ONE STAGE

SURELY THERE IS NO ONE THAT CAN COMPLY WITH THIS RULING ANYWAY,IT SAYS THAT THE BIRDS HAVE TO BE ISOLATED SO UNLESS ALL THE PEOPLE WHO RACE OVER THE CHANNEL HAVE PURPOSE BUILT BOXES READY HOW ARE THEY GOING TO ISOLATE THEM FROM THEIR OTHER PIGEONS.LETS HOPE THAT DEFRA DONT SUDDENLY VISIT SOMEONE WHO AS RACED OVER THE CHANNELL AND THE BIRDS THEY RACED ARE STILL IN THE LOFT WITH THE REST.

MASSARELLA STILL AS THEM,

WAS TALKING TO JEREMY LAST NIGHT AT THE CLUB,THEY NOW HAVE A WEBCAM SET UP AT THE 1 LOFT RACE AND YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THE CAMERA ABOUT OFF YOUR OWN COMPUTER.HAVE BEEN TRYING MYSELF TO GET ONTO IT BUT NO LUCK YET.ONLY SEEM TO HAVE 5 ACTIVEX SETTINGS ON MY COMPUTER.

STILL NOTHING FROM FRASERBURGH SENT 4,BELIEVE THERE WERE ABOUT 6INTO WALES ON THE DAY.

NO BIRDS HOME IN OUR CLUB FROM FRASERBURGH,AFTER A 06.50 LIB.WAS EXPECTING TO TIME IN ON THE DAY BUT NOT SO,DISTANCE IS AROUND 385 MILES,NEVER MIND UP EARLY IN THE MORNING.

PERHAPS YOU GOT THE FED WINNER IN THE FRST BIRD ALAN.

ALLWAYS A SAD DAY WHEN ONE OF OUR OWN AS TO CALL IT A DAY,ALL I CAN SAY IS ALL THE BEST MARK IN THE FUTURE MARK PERHAPS ONE DAY IF YA HEALTH GETS BETTER YOU WILL ABLE TO START AGAIN,YOU CAN ALLWAYS STAY ON THE FORUM AND STILL HAVE A CHAT EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE BIRDS.

HI MATTHEW,THE AGENT FOR GERALDY IN THE U.K.IS ROGER HOWLAND FROM PETERBOROUGH TEL.01733232714,THE ROOF TOP BOX IS £380.AND AS 4 CONTAINERS INSIDE IT WHICH HOLDS 60 PIGEONS IN TOTAL, WAS ALL SET TO ORDER ONE MYSELF AFTER SEEING THEM AT BLACKPOOL BUT CHANGED ME MIND AT THE LAST MINUTE.IT,S BEST FITTED TO AN ESTATE CAR,BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A ROOF RACK OR BARS ALLREADY FITTED.HOPE THIS IS OF SOME HELP.

WHO MADE THE DECISION GEZ THE MEMBERS OF THE CLUBS OR JUST A FEW ON THE COMMITTEE NOT REALLY LISTENING TO WHAT THE MEMBERS WANT.

SEVERN VALLEY FED.AT FRASERBURGH WITH THE WELSH NEW NORTH ROAD FED,LOOKS LIKE BEING ANOTHER HARD ONE IF THIS WEST WIND KEEPS UP.
