PIGEON_MAN

Severn Valley Federation have decided not to go to Yelverton(136 miles to me)but to go to Yeovil (83 to me)this is because of the horrendous losses a lot of members have had so far.

Was always told you only get out of them what you are prepared to put in,I also think that when it starts to be a problem at all looking after the birds its time to seriously think about weather you should keep them or not.

That should be better.

Not a Welsh fancier but Gail sends me the ring list each year so I can help out with any Welsh pigeons reported on here so here goes,Ring was issued to the BANWEN H.S.SECRETARY was or still is M.GRIFFITHS.phone number 01639 700039,hope that helps.

Owing to the severe weather forcast for Saturday down on the coast the race as been moved forward 24 hours,so basketing will be on Saturday night hopefully for a Sunday liberation.

If say the averages are the inland averages then you have to clock in every inland race to compete, same for channel ave,young bird aves etc.

Bank holiday Monday Gareth probably have difficulty in getting one.

Well dont like blowing my own trumpet as they say but yes I won our club race from West Bay with a yearling widowhood cock doing 1006 vel.

Well done mate,where did you race from and how were the returns,oh yea and whats your velocity.

Yes it was mate thanks.

Thats better can read it now.

Bit small this week dont know whats happened.

Best of luck Tam I think you will need it,how far do you fly.

I fly 98 up here in Malvern I,m looking at 2 1/4 -2 1/2,mind they were a lot quicker last week than I thought.

Nice and clear around the Malvern Hills and down towards Tewkesbury Tam but very cold.

Severn Valley Fed.birds liberated at West Bay 11.30 north east wind.

Ours are down at West Bay,no word yet.

Where was that from mate.

Were these Unikon rings or off another system.

Think what they are saying here Mick is say you have a life ring 2011 A 12345 if you look on the computer under the owners ring list and that ring is not there then no EtS ring as been assigned to it,but then again the member may say well I raced that bird last year with a ETS ring on it,its obvious then that who ever is in charge of allocating the rings must of at sometime deleted it off the computer but it would still be in the clock so it should still mark on race night.

Can someone tell me how to get rid of the second posting when this happens.

I,m sure people that have their ybs on natural must vaccinate whilst the birds are moulting so I wouldn,t think it would make any diferance to darkness ybs,always vaccinate mine when I wean them and also put them straight on the darkness system.
