DONT SEEM TO HEAR MUCH OF FANCIERS WHO RACE THESE BIRDS NOW,I THINK MARK IS RIGHT IN SAYING THAT LOUELLA STILL HAVE THEM,BUT IS THIS NOT TELLING YOU SOMETHING.

I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT IN THE DAYTIME WHEN I GET THE MESSAGE THEIR IS NOT TO MANY ON ANYWAY CONSIDERING THERE WAS ABOUT 65 PEOPLE ON AT THE SAME TIME WHEN WE HAD THE LAST AUCTION I DONT THINK WE HAD A PROBLEM THEN.

SEVERN VALLEY FED AT CREIF,GOING WITH THE WELSH NEW NORTH ROAD FED,BEEN TRYING ALL WEEK TO TEACH MINE SOME WELSH SO THEY CAN TO ASK THE WELSH BIRDS THE WAY HOME,YAKIDA.LOL.

I,M SURE YOU WILL O.K. STUART HOW FAR IS IT TO YOU.

SOUNDS AS IF YOU HAVE THE FEEDING O.K.COULD EVEN BE A BIT MORE USUALLY GIVE MINE A OUNCE OR MORE IF THEY WANT IT THE MAIN FEED BEING LATE AFTERNOON DEPENDING WHEN YOU SHUT THEM UP FOR THE NIGHT.

I DONT THINK THE WELFARE OF THE BIRDS COME INTO ANYMORE,IT,S ALL MONEY ORIENTED I,M AFRAID THESE DAYS,BUT SAYING THAT FEDS HAVE GOT TO GO WHERE THEY THINK THEY WILL BE MOST SUPPORTED OR ELSE THEY WILL NOT SURVIVE.

IF WHEN YOU LET THEM OUT OF THE LOFT THEY ARE RANGING FOR TWO OR THREE HOURS I THINK YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME JUST TAKING THEM SHORT DISTANCES,SOME FANCIERS I KNOW START THEM OFF AT ABOUT 10 MILES OTHERS EVEN FURTHER,I THINK YOU MAY BE BEING A LITTLE TO CAREFULL WITH THEM.THE GOING OFF FOR TWO OR THREE HOURS WILL CERTAINLY HELP THEM TO GET TO KNOW THE AREA I WOULDN,T WORRY TO MUCH ABOUT THAT,AS LONG AS THEY ARE RETURNING.

ALL I CAN SAY IS THE ADDRESS WHICH WAS ON THE BIRD IS THE ADDRESS OF THE GUY I GAVE YOU THE NAME AND NUMBER FOR YOU COULD GIVE HIM ANOTHER RING AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT IT IS THE RIGHT ADDRESS,OTHER THAN THAT I WOULD SUGGEST IT MIGHT BE BETTER TO NOTIFY THE RPRA,BEST OF LUCK LET ME KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.

WHAT DO OTHER MEMBERS THINK IS THIS SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT.

NO PROBLEM MATE,YOU JUST OWE ME 20p FOR THE PHONECALL I MADE AND SOMETHING FOR THE 20 MINUTES I SPENT LOOKING THROUGH THE RING LIST.LOL.NO ONLY KIDDING ALLWAYS PLEASED TO HELP OUT.

WHEN OUR FED TOOK THE DECISION TO FLY NORTH BEFORE THE SEASON BEGAN SO THAT WE WERE VIRTUALLY SURE OF LONG RACES I DECIDED THEN THAT I WOULD NOT SEND TO ANY SOUTH ROAD RACES EVEN THOUGH I AM A MEMBER OF THE NFC,MCC AND CSCFC.WE WILL HOWEVER BE RACING SOUTH WITH THE YOUNGSTERS AS LONG AS THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS DOWN SOUTH.

HI AGAIN MAX,OWNER,S NAME IS MR.K.AUSTIN, TEL.01332 666449.

I CAN REMEMBER SOME YEARS AGO I HAD A KIT OF YOUNGSTERS THAT USED TO COME HOME FROM TRAINING IN GOOD TIME THEN GO OFF AGAIN AND BE GONE FOR HOURS,PERHAPS IT ISN,T FAR ENOUGH FOR THEM NOW THEY ARE GETTING FITTER.

YES STEVIE JACK OUR FED THE SEVERN VALLEY WAS DUE TO GO TO PERTH BUT WE WILL NOW BE GOING WITH THE NEW NORTH ROAD FED (WELSH) BUT THEY GO TO CREIF WHICH IS ONLY A COUPLE OF MILES DIFFERANT TO ME.

FIRST RACE LAST YEAR WHICH WAS ST.NAZAIRE 8696 BIRDS WENT.

THIS IS A NRCC RING SO YOU WILL HAVE TO NOTIFY THE RPRA UNLESS ANYONE CAN COME UP WITH THE OWNER,S TEL.NUMBER.

NO,ONLY HAPPENS TO ME ON THE FORUM.

GLAD IT,S NOT ONLY ME THEN,PERHAPS RICHARD CAN EXPLAIN IT.
