PIGEON_MAN

Got 3 guys in our club that have sent,the one fancier as sent his good cock again this year for the FIFTH year on the trot,believe he was 6th open last year, approx 740 miles.

Dont use roundabout myself so cant really offer any ideas.

You could report it to the RPRA or speak to his wife again and ask her if she could give you the number of another member in the club.

Thought that the system motivated them that was the idea of doing it.

Long way from home ring issued to the ENFIELD CONTINENTAL FC Sec Mr.Terry Welch 01992 624303. Hertfordshire.

Cheers Brian did you get to see the liberation.

This ring was issued to the Prestwood H S sec Graham Guy 01902 658683.

No contest mate got to be Lerwick.

Sent 3 mate in the NFC Tarbes, 2 went last year first time I,ve ever sent that distance 623 miles to me,the others a fresh one.

As a club sec.I just have to take their word for it,with the consequences of being found out by DEFRA I would say that any serious pigeon racer would not take that chance as the birds could be tested at any time by a official when being transported.

If you show your birds you should present your sheet to the sec,or someone else at the show,see the code of vaccination in above threads.

No mention of France in number 1,just says races,surely you are not reading it as just races from abroad.

Sorry mate you have got that wrong ALL FLYING OUT BIRDS MUST BE VACCINATED weather flying inland or abroad.

Is vaccinating not compulsory up in Scotland.

Sending 3, 2 that flew it last year and 1 fresh one,623 miles up to me.

We are back down at Poole next week Brian, our last inland race for the old birds.

Dont really know of anything I,m doing different this year but they are certainly coming well.

So very sorry to hear this Harry,we met Bob through yourself at Blackpool 3or 4 years ago and he always spoke to us when we met up.RIP Bob.

Same here Wiley.

Was told years ago by a real expert at racing darkness ybs to take them off 1 month before the first race, although I must admit I took mine off on the longest day last year and had a very good yb season,so its the 21st again this year for me.
