yes unusual del but nothing to worry about imo,it will just need to be a blue bar on the 2011 alencon result. ;)

yes del had it twice. :P

enjoyed the video and weather,well done. :) :) :)

just had ma mum and dad, brother wife and kids ma daughter and boyfriend making ten for dinner,all away home after a lovely dinner,just me and the wife with the cheeseboard and grapes having a wee glayva and ice watching the wifes film notting hill still a nice wee night,oh and a wee bit slushy snow about. :)

the proposed programme seems to be pretty good,in the past fanciers would have flown cheltenham and dorchester two weeks before the rennes race dont see a problem with newbury and eastbourne. :-/

read this post and find myself scratching my head i actually cant believe the complete tosh people come up with,i hate to think what the fanciers on pigeon basics (outwith scotland)make of this post and so many similar ones. :( >

great to see the lsc boys looking after each other. :)

one good thing about pigeons. nothing like waiting on a saturday for the doos coming from a race even better if they are coming from a national,nice day maybe may/june/july,at the smallholding waiting with ma dad, my mum making the dinner,with a wee bit luck maybe a good timer from the national,off with the clock then a few magners and ice up the bowling club with the wife,up early sunday morning get the doos cleaned,just one wee thing i love about my doos so many more reasons. :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

not mr rankin but puzzled!!!! dont get this one homer49 ypres this year was one of the most successful races from over the water scottish fanciers have had in years.????? :-/ :-/

got to agree. ;D :)

dave and bing,now we are talking ;) ;D

wee george and andy on now,getting better. :)

yep turned it on and cliff richard was singing mistletoe and wine and turned it straight over. ;D ;D ;D

yes i think ravenstruther,spoke to him at the shu agm just last week, RIP.

i dont see a problem with buying doos,do your homework and identify the fancier and performances that you want,make contact with the fancier and if ok arrange a visit,if you are happy with the fanciers birds ask if you can buy some possibly latebreds from his there best or maybe youngsters to race,i think fanciers today are too quick to buy doos on impulse from bhw, internet,and other avenues without doing the spadework,get off your backsides and go and find these good birds they are there if you look hard enough. ;) ;)

we use it before pairing the stock doos,gives a wee help to the older chaps. ;D ;D ;D

thats the spirit jb,it would be nice for you to be the first name on the trophy,not 5 years though maybe 2-3 jonesybhoy. :)

yes since 2004. :) :)

this is only since the format was changed circa 2004-2005 changing west,south,north and east into the current form of 7 sections and averages for all sections,previous to this i know of quite a few fanciers who have competed the previously titled region f programme,hope this helps jb. :)

;D ;D ;D ;D

agree frank although with doos you never have a level playing field,this is where the problems start. :-/ :-/

bit of a statement robbie,great flyers in all areas,i would not be so confident as to say where the best fanciers are. :-/ :-/ :-/
