PIGEON_MAN

Club racing from Portland 107 miles to me,also got birds away at the National Flying Club race from Fougeres 265 miles.

Its a rule in the Midland Continental Classic FC that clocks must be set the day before the advertised date of liberation.

Thank you for letting us know about the ring it was issued to a club in Kingsteignton not to far away I believe,the secretaries number is 01626 364602 a Mr. Beavis if you would like to let him know he will inform the owner,thanks again.

Hope this might help,the ring was originally issued to the Watford NRFC,the sec,back in 96 was a MR.P.DEARING tel.01923 230279,have searched through the 2010 ring list but cant find that club,perhaps a call to the old sec.might throw up something.

Are you sure about the 60 after the NWHU,as this would make the bird 51 years old?

Had a email from Ray Knight at Unikon at 4.24 yesterday afternoon but was basketing the birds and then went to the club so didnt find it until I came back home,better late than never I suppose ?

Didnt bother trying to get a signal set the Unikon manually,got up yesterday morning before 7am and set the Bricon system and again this morning but I see the signal is still showing on the radio clock.?.

I would just like to say that this letter was sent out by Mark Palmer at BRICON to all the people who are responsible for the club equipment, I wonder weather the clubs who have Unikon will be notified by their people,DO clubs who only have Unikon realise what this means, I,m surprised there hasnt been more postings on this.

Severn Valley Fed at Portland away at 9.15 in a north east wind.

This ring was issued to a member of the NFC,so we cant help to trace the owner,it will have to be reported to the RPRA,thanks for your concern.

Think this one going to be a very tight match no one giving much away,could go late into the second half with just one goal in it,but to who?

Have read in the feeding plan that gerry plus should be given 100% Sun,Mon,Tues,it also says that gerry plus is very poor in proteins,surely these are the days when you are supposed to be given proteins.

Pocket clocks are now £220,just over 12 months ago they were £99.

All clubs are sent their activation code to the person who Unikon as on record,I would not have thought that clubs would have the same code number.

If they are already flying out I would have still carried on letting them out the moment the work began perhaps keeping them a little bit more hungrier than usual,if they havnt been out yet then I would basket them up and leave them on top of the loft or in view of whats going on,then let them back into the loft by placing the basket a short distance from the door,or if you have a trap put them back in through that way.

We had 9 members sending 215 birds to Wincanton our first race,another 5 members not sent.

I was reading in the VERSELE-LAGA catalogue where it says give 15g of corn on the day of basketing, anyone use their feeding system,certainly doesn,t seem much to me,any views on this.

GB 10 Z Rings were issued to the Midland National Flying Club,but have to be reported to the RPRA.

Think they are about £17 plus £10 courier service from Mark Palmer.

NFC rings need to be reported to the RPRA not the NFC.

Some Feds and also the NFC require the role off of the master timer to be sent in with the paperwork from clock stations if ordinary clocks are used.

Not sure if this is what your getting at but when you set up the Bricon eqipment for marking it prints out a A4 sheet with the actual setting time and date of when the base was syncronised with the radio clock or GPS receiver.

Unfortunately this ring was issued direct to someone from the RPRA (racing pigeon headquarters)so you would have to ring them or report it on their website to find out who the owner is.The phone number is 01452-713529 or email, strays@rpra.org,thanks for your concern. 9

Can someone advise me weather or not I am on the right setting for the time on threads,on the time zone settings it reads GMT CASABLANCA-DUBLIN-LONDON-LISBON-MONROVIA,Is this the correct one to be on as although my computer is showing the correct time the time shown on threads is a hour out if you see what I mean.

Just posted a reply on one of the threads and noticed that the time was plus 1 hour,checked back on the time showing on the computer and thats showing the correct time
