YOUNG BIRD RACING IN SCOTLAND 1960!!!!!!!!!! :) THOUGHT THIS BLAST FROM THE PAST WOULD BE OF INTEREST WITH SOME WELL KENT NAMES

they could fly the doos lewis,they were at abington before first light prior to the nationals,great record in the fed opens also. :)

once the daffys are out is the prime time m8.

:lol: got to be at the distance,ma dad says gettin a good yin at the water is like catching a 25 pound salmon. :lol: would be lovely but dont think we can afford him. we can only hope.

unfortunately geo,although winning the section at the gold cup and the arb trophy have been the highlight of our time racing the doos. :partick-thistle-Crest:

patience and time and you will get there geo. :partick-thistle-Crest:

DEFINATELY A LEGEND GEO. rumour was that an open topped bus travelled through Croy with the Nash Bros and the GOLD CUP,this was the attention a fancier got with a national win in the sixties, :) the glory years.

great wee nugget jim, Rennes section winners,this is what we all dream about. :)

great post m8 and totally agree.

lets hope this helps wuldon,i am scratching ma heid with this one as i thought the ethos of a one loft race to be fair to all competing fanciers "all for one and one for all"mentality :( only my opinion.

yes good fanciers rikki,lets hope section f is still strong for 2012. :)

thats a pity about the nationals ricky as i think section f was becoming stronger all the time, :( as for the route change time will tell. ;)

signed.

happy birthday the scottie boys rooster had a hard paper round!!!! :P only kiddin.

great hen m8,raced just along the road from masel,bred by Jock Reed stenhousemuir raced by nash of croy. :)

yes geo,great fancier

all too true Davie,still a few doo men left. :o

not actually sure about rev sam ovens,think he retired to crieff,maybe someone on here knows?? jim rintoul great guy though. :)

was a good wee watch lewis,remember being in front of the national committee with a problem with one of our ring nos,the rev sam was in the chair and common sense prevailed,i had a sweat on though with the thought of looseing a nat ticket and a few quid. :D
