Good post Charlie.

The girls got me an I pad and it's all I use John,I am terrible with computers but the pad is much better than the lap top IMO.

Loose lips sinks ships,we don't do ourselves any favours. <_<

Bob I was one of the guys who was well up for going to the long race with a big convoy mnfc unc etc but opinions change and mine has!i think all scottish national birds should go on there own! 200 300 400 birds if that's what the body of the hall wants,let's get on with it.

Good post del.

Might make it through bobby,working in the morning but no jags game,will see if bozzie fancies it.

Toppers Lewis and a credit to jock.

Good stuff bobby great too see a wee afternoon quiz.

Not sure about the buss hearts but he was 2nd open Rennes a few years later. Or was it Duncan McClure ? Getting older.

Good luck lads and all the best for 2014.

Good luck wull,doos looking good.

Yes Joe and Scotland's premier race of the year where it would be great for every fancier to have an entry! In the above year 1960 new Cumnock doomen had 100 birds at Rennes.!!!

Saw the picture on jocks living room wall every time I met him along with other crackers,great memories.

Very very good Lewis!!!

550 miles to the central belt that is the problem Vinnie! 7000 birds at some of these old gold cup races and a lot of times only a handful of birds on the shift!

John use your Newmains charm and get one related to one of Scotland's best performers this year,cheq hen 17th open alencon for Morris bros.

Great stuff,and some money in those days.

This was a national most will prefer to forget,at the close of the race on the third morning less than 300 birds have been recorded from the convoy of 5500 birds,the winner a 4yr old b ch hen belonging to j Wilson and son Lanark,landles bros calderbank Airdrie were third on 701 with j Mitchell & son Douglas water next who had the terrible misfortune of their bird dying a few hours after being clocked! The first Renfrewshire bird was to carlin bros kilbarchan 8th open and a later bird winning 42nd open,j Wylie lochwinnoch 33rd open was next Renfrew bird. Top honours in ayrshire fell to genial Alex Nesbit Dalry 25th open closely followed by veteran wull weeks crosshouse at 31st open,with Kilwinning fanciers Muir bros and w Blair 44th and 47th open respectively. H & g mcharrie prestwick take up top place in the Kyle fed with two birds to win 28th and 35th open with McGill & hay 73rd open. Sore gold cup Rennes racing even in 1960!
