Happy Birthday John.

Best wishes Archie. Have a great day.

Good luck to all.

If this is your chosen route, with a little bit of work, you could put runners up, and be able to darken off your new roof panels by having sliding solid panels. I suppose it depends on your current roof construction if this can be done. Only an idea.

I'll reverse the charges ! LOL

Many thanks to all who posted their best wishes yesterday. It was much appreciated. And yes Mr Mckay, the new house-roof is now in place, and a constant reminder of how to spend money without getting anything in your hand !!

Think a pic. may help !

An excellent idea. Wouldn't take a lot to have a video recording of not just channel liberations, but ALL liberations in the NIPA. Sound thinking Pat !

I see there's a full Committee meeting scheduled for 4th July. Wonder what they're going to talk about !

Well done, great call.

And nearly as barren as Connemara !

Just checked their site , still nothing new ! Not even an acknowledgement there may be a problem !

Just checked NIPA 'site'.....nothing more posted since 22.00pm last night. Why would anyone want to race the distance when their birds are treated to this ? Wouldn't surprise me if PETA gets all over this !

N.I.P.A liberated yesterday at 6.30am No day birds. Up to 11.00pm to-day only 7 birds are listed on their website as 2nd day arrivals. Back in the day we called this a disaster. What's the modern take on it ?

No problem. Stress not !

My advice....Get your old birds split now, so they can have a good moult. Concentrate on your 18 youngsters. Put your effort into these. By now, you should have started their training, so keep that ticking over where weather permits ! A big team of youngsters, for a novice like yourself, could be a bigger hindrance. Don't fall into one of the many 'traps' where you think more is better. If you can start racing with a team of 18 well trained youngsters, you should get plenty of enjoyment this year. Best of luck.

R.I.P

Agree 100%. Mine are on all day every day, and are seriously cheap to run.

Do you have electric going to loft ?

R.I.P Condolences to Dave and the family circle.

Many thanks for your helpful input.

Hi Guys Just asking if anyone would have a disc, or could burn me one for Microsoft Excel. I would like to use the part of the programme which produces pie charts and other such presentation aids. My laptop has Apache software, and I find it impossible to use ! Microsoft was much simpler. Thanks folks. Paul

Thoughts & prayers.

Anybody know of an Anti-Slip treatment / stain for wooden decking which will leave it non-slip. Have tried a few products, but so far haven't found anything that works.

Was just looking through last weeks result for the NIPA from Tullamore, and I thought members would be interested in the performance of Gordon Bros & Son of Killyleagh Central (Sect F) Tullamore 15th April Section F sent 1466 birds Gordon Bros. & Son. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc, etc, up to........26th (plus other Section prizes) Total convoy 22,129 birds 1st Open, and 32 prizes in top 40 (60 prizes in top 200) Top flying, don't you think !! A once in a lifetime result.
