What a surprise.

When Andy Murray was continually not quite making it to the top he was an uppity Scot.Now that he has reached the Wimbledon final he has all of a sudden became British and a hero.Astonishing change in nationality.

This is all very interesting stuff Gareth however I know several fanciers who since the advent of ETS no longer have functioning altenative clocks, looks like they could have problems.

Many congratulations to Jim Dalgleish of Brydekirk Homing Club on winning the Alencon race with his 3 year old Chequer hen

Absolutely pouring in Moffat at 2.55 p.m.

There is doubt what the predator is in the case of my clubmate the predator came to an untimely end definitely a buzzard

It was definetly a buzzard, incidentally one of my club members had a buzzard enter his loft and have a go at a young bird the other week.

Thank you for that I phoned the Dutchman and I think he said keep it for a day or two feed it up and then release it clearly an optomist.

Arrived this morning NL2011 4231438 with a Unikon stud ring and a blue ID ring 0513436531.Blue Chequer Hen, very tame.Any takers??

I am sure I heard a commentator say that an Italian player knows how to roll on the ground cause his wife is a ballerina.

Looking at the weather forecast it looks as if the Maidstone birds will sit in the transporter till Tuesday at least,all this can be easily predicted.Surely there is a better way to arrange Pigeon Racing expecially by the most prominent club in Scotland

The Solway Federation has trans[orted pigeons from two other organisations almost throughout the old bird season this year and there is no doubt that this type of co-operation between federations is is part of the way forward.There are other things that can be done to help pigeon racing in general and our federation will stand ready to co-operate with anyone in Southern Scotland or Cumbria

Solway Federation basketing for Appleton Saturday night

With clear information about what the situation is (updated regularly) fanciers would then know what has been happening and a lot of this controversy would vanish.

I was told years ago when I first tried to run our Federation KEEP THE MEMBERS INFORMED and I count it amongst the best advice I ever received,the lack of up to date information on the SNFC website throughout this saga is regrettable.

What`s happening the SNFC web site tells ye f*** all

Could do with a bit more information on the SNFC web site

I thought it was somebody`s MAW that was FAT Michael

I hope everyone enjoys their celebrations.It is surely a wonderful opportunity for all of us lowly subjects to be reminded of our true place as you royalists celebrate 60 years of unearned privilege and institutionised inequality

Surely I have read this wrong I cannot believe that a driver can overrule a federation race controller

Sitting watching the young birds flying and drinking coffee at 10.15 this morning, all is peaceful and quiet.Suddenly the phone rings!! A very loud and aggresive voice informs me that he has a young bird belonging to my club member and I better do something about it pronto!! I placate him and he goes off the phone mumbling threats and I go back to my coffee. Ten minutes passes and the phone rings again, the same fancier now all apologetic informs me that the bird in question had been bred for him by my club member and duly transferred. I say "Okay son" and go back to my coffee again I can heartily recommend the life of a pigeon club secretary.
