PIGEON_MAN

VERY GOOD RESULT ROBERT CONGRATULATIONS.

MIKE,I CANNOT BE CERTAIN THAT OUR FED HAD ANY SAY AT ALL IN THE LIBERATION I WOULD HAVE HOPED THAT OUR RACE CONTROLLER WOULD OF BEEN CONTACTED ON THE DAY TO CHECK ON WEATHER CONDITIONS IN THIS AREA E.T.C.BUT I CANT BE SURE IF THIS HAPPENED,AS FOR YOUR OTHER POINT I,M NOT SURE ABOUT THE REST OF THE CLUBS IN THE FED BUT I KNOW OUR CLUB WERE NOT HAPPY AT ALL WE ALL SAID AT THE TIME THAT THE LIB WAS TO LATE,BUT THEN IS IT BETTER TO LIBERATE IN GOOD CONDITIONS ALBEIT A LITTLE LATE THAN TO HAVE A HOLDOVER AND NOT KNOW IF THE WEATHER IS GOING TO BE GOOD THE NEXT DAY OR EVEN THE DAY AFTER.

RATHER THAN YOU HEAR WRONG IMFORMATION IN THE PUB ALAN THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE YOU THE REAL FACTS ABOUT THIS RACE AS I SENT IN IT,THERE WERE 544 PIGEONS SENT BY MEMBERS OF THE SEVERN VALLEY FED NOT A GREAT NUMBER I,LL AGREE BUT CONSIDERING WE HAVE HAD SOME VERY TOUGH RACING FROM THE NORTH AND WITH SOME CLUBS DECIDING NOT TO CHANGE TO THE NORTH ROAD IT WASN,T A BAD ENTRY.THE BIRDS WERE LIBERATED ALONG WITH THE WELSH NEW NORTH ROAD FED,THE WELSH GRAND NATIONAL AND ALSO THE SWANSEA VALLEY FED AT THE LATE TIME (IN MY OPINION)OF 10.50 IN A SOUTH WEST WIND,THE SHORTEST FLYER,S IN OUR FED WERE FLYING APPROX 295 MILES SO TAKING THE WIND INTO CONSIDERATION I THOUGHT ANYTHING FROM 8 AND A HALF TO 10 HOURS.THE FED WINNER TOOK 9 HOURS 23 MINUTES VEL.924.WITH 10 BIRDS MAKING IT ON THE DAY.RUMOUR AS IT THAT THERE WERE NO BIRDS HOME ON THE DAY IN WALES.THIS WEEK WE ARE GOING TO FRASERBURGH 385 MILES TO ME ALONG WITH THE WELSH AGAIN, HOPEFULLY THEY WILL BE UP ABOUT 6 OR7 A.M. AND WE WILL HAVE A BETTER RACE.

THE CSCFC ARE GOING TO CHOLET ON 24th JUNE.MARKING IS AT SALISBURY ONLY ON THURSDAY 22nd BETWEEN 4.30 AND 7.30.

WE WILL FORGIVE YA ROSE.

COME OFF IT HENRIK AS A SECRETARY OF A CLUB HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW IF MY MEMBERS ARE FOLLOWING THE RIGHT GUIDELINES,I DARE SAY THAT THERE ISN,T MANY CLUBS OR FEDS WHO ARE FOLLOWING THEM 100%.I KNOW THAT IS WRONG BUT THAT IS THE WAY THINGS ARE I,M AFRAID.

AGREE 100% STUART I GUESS IT IS UP TO EACH MEMBER TO DECIDE,I PERSONALLY MADE MY DECISION WHEN OUR FED DECIDED TO GO NORTH AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON,I SAID THEN THAT I WOULD NOT BE SENDING TO ANY RACE ON THE SOUTH WITH THE OLD BIRDS.

WELL NO SUPPOSE IT WOULD BE LEFT TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE MEMBERS,SAME AS IT IS NOW IF A BIRD RETURNS FROM A RACE AFTER SO LONG AWAY THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE ISOLATED BUT HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY DO IT.

ROSE I READ IT AS THE BIRDS THAT RETURN FROM A FRENCH RACE HAVE TO BE ISOLATED FOR 7 DAYS IS THAT WHAT YOUR SAYING.

NO DONT KNOW THAT MATE JUST CHECKED THE RING NUMBER IN THE RING LIST JUST SAYS FC AFTER THE CLUB NAME NO SR OR NR.

AS SECRETARY OF OUR CLUB I AGREE PECKED HEN IT IS A DISGRACE THE WAY YOU WERE TREATED,I ALLWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE OWNER OF A BIRD THAT IS REPORTED TO ME GETS TO KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WHERE IT IS EVEN IF I HAVE TO DRIVE TO THEIR HOUSE AS 1 OR 2 ARE NOT ON THE PHONE,I WOULD BE INCLINED TO TRY THE SECRETARY ONCE MORE,MIGHT BE BETTER AT NIGHT WHEN HE IS HOME FROM WORK.YOU COULD HOWEVER REPORT IT STRAIGHT TO THE UNION AND THEN HOPEFULLY YOU WOULD GET A BETTER RESPONCE.I BELIEVE THERE ARE MEMBERS OF THE NEWMAINS CLUB WHO ARE ON THE FORUM PERHAPS THEY CAN HELP.

HI RAY,RING WAS ISSUED TO THE KIRBYMOORSIDE CLUB N.YORKSHIRE,SEC.THEN WAS A MISS ALLEN,TEL.01751-431920.IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS LET ME KNOW WILL SEARCH THROUGH THIS YEARS RING LIST INCASE THERE IS A NEW SEC.

YOU DONT THINK IT COULD BE ANOTHER FALSE ALARM ROSE,HAVING READ MEALYBAR,S WRITE UP.

GEZ GO TO THE MAIN FORUM PAGE SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM THERE IS SOME IMFO.THERE.

THOUGHT IF IT,S RIGHT THAT WE ARE GOING INTO FRANCH THIS WEEK IT WOULD OF BEEN ONE OF THE FEDS DOWN YOUR WAY MICK.

LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE TRUE BUT I DONT THINK WE WILL BE RACING FROM FRANCH THIS WEEK IT WILL BE TO SOON TO GET LICENCES,BOOK FERRIES ETC AND THEY USUALLY GO ON A WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY.

I THINK THAT YOU WILL FIND THAT MOST OF CLIVE YATES SUCCESS AS BEEN WITH THE OLD CATTRYSE PIGEONS.

UNTIL PETER BRYANT WRITE,S ON HERE THAT THE BAN IS LIFTED I WOULDN,T BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU MAY HERE.

HOW DO YOU MEAN HENRIK,WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD.

THE WINNER IN OUR CLUB FROM CREIF FLYING 297 MILES IS DOING 877YPM HE ALSO AS THE ONLY BIRD ON THE DAY.

WELL PETER BRYANT KNOW,S NOTHING ABOUT IT AND I,M SURE HE WOULD BE ONE OF THE FIRST.

FINAL SCORE 1-0 TO ENGLAND NOT A GOOD PERFORMANCE BUT IT,S 3 POINTS.

ENGLAND 1-0 UP AT HALF TIME.

PERSONALLY I DO NOT USE ANY THING THAT IS NOT FOR PIGEONS,I KNOW A LOT OF FANCIERS WHO USE IT AND I BELIEVE WITH GREAT SUCCESS BUT IT,S NOT FOR ME.

I WOULD THINK THAT WHAT EVER PRODUCT YOU DECIDE TO USE IT WOULD GIVE YOU THAT IMFORMATION ON IT.
