good shout for a couple of gentlemen :)

yes alf spot on,i had jock allan and john bosworth as my national gods and have been lucky enough to have made good friends with both with bozzie one of ma best mates in the doos and the late great jock allan bred the dam of our rennes national section winner so all just great,roll on june/july. :D down side thistle were rotten today!!!!!

will look it out for you.

yes not far wrong lewis.

going friday to sunday with my young brother and three pals with none of them being doomen!!!!!!! staying at the premier inn.

good eddie thought del would have got a few but to be fair the mathiesons are a hard nut to crack. :)

i have a loft report on j hodgson of drem somewhere i think. :)

been on the forum a few years now and always find these type of questions only cause problems,as a fancier who has studied scottish national flying club results for years and marvelled at top distance pigeons from all areas of scotland it can be unfair sometimes to fanciers in unfashionable locations as they can be timing exceptional pigeons which in all honesty have little or no chance of winning the race.jmo :)

was hopeing to get to the show today after work but went to firhill instead(big mistake)well done to todays winners and special mention for the mathiesons who will not be far away at blackpool

part of a team m8 just got the one,we have 5 in the mix with 1 missing today,have enjoyed the whole thing so far but a very long way to go,so onwards and upwards.got the flights booked for march and hopeing we have a doo left for the final. :) :D good luck yersel.

i hope you are right m8,its a shame to see them missing but i suppose this is all part of the challenge. :partick-thistle-Crest:

lets hope they are there in the morning,we have "wee rode" missing from our team today. :o

find a local distance fanciers who does well with not keeping too many birds and scores regularly from these long hauls. imo that would be a good start.

spot on bob :)

looking forward to getting the papers the morra!!!!!!!!!!!!well done lads.

:D hope so too bob i was at school with his dad and he is a wee bit keen as well so you never know!!!!!!!!! he bought in some birds from a well known stud and this turned out a bit of a set back,see his wee team charging up and down most days looking the part.

aye bob but you have a better head of hair!!!!!! :D not too many youngsters coming into the sport though bob.

steady on m8 stb was at the high school when we were in short trousers!!!!!!!

your not so old yersel bob!!!!!! there is a young lad who has started this year from MOC(first for 30 years) and got some very handy late breds from the milton of campsie and campsie boys, along with his dad they work on the sites and the birds go hail rain or shine training most days,not sure what club he will join but hopefully one for the future. :) :)time will tell.

usually won by a dipped doo i am afraid eddie :o if entering doos we usually go for the flown classes and have been lucky enough to have won the 300 mile class a couple of times in the past at fauldhouse but have given these shows a miss of late as the distance flown criteria can also be open to abuse mores the pity!!!!!!!!!!! :o good luck eddie if you compete. :) :)

sorry to hear this rab. my dads greenhouse has been smashed and also no felt left on our stock loft,we have refelted this morning with the help of my young brother and john harwood.

had my last bit of steak pie at my brothers last night which was lovely,just off the dookit roof which had a wee leak and could feel the steak pie!!!!!!! fruit and yogurts are the order of the day. :D

i think any fanciers who are west of you and continue to not only compete but also put up top performances at fed/national level are worth more than a mention!!! :partick-thistle-Crest:

thats another 2 tosses completed with good returns and all the scottish doos home and tucked up for the new year. :partick-thistle-Crest: :D

just had a wee look davie,cracker m8. :partick-thistle-Crest: well done.
