Just 30 minutes to go and some good birds going cheap.

Ally has had to work hard for some years now to build his team of pigeons with the ability to navigate through the mountains and to so do on their own for that last 60+ miles after flying quite some distance prior to that. Lots of fanciers have helped him with pigeons and whilst they are top fanciers some of their pigeons just could not "cut it". Follow his guidance and you won't go far wrong. I know he is still learning, but you can gain a few years from his help.

Ally is your man with the knowledge, but how far before the mountains at your side?

Less than 1hr to go and some good birds going cheep :emoticon-0136-giggle: :emoticon-0136-giggle:

If your club uses both, then consider the cost of ETS rings and systems. Basically they all do the same job, so what suits your pocket the best.

Didn't think I would get anything, not that I got much compared to some, but I tried anyway. Something is better than nothing.

Benzing!!! It can be used on Unikon and Bricon Club systems via a Universal cable and it is so simple to work. The advice you will receive is to get what your club uses.

Sorry to hear your sad loss. She will never leave you, always being in your thoughts and heart.

Happy birthday.

Good morning all.

I just got the text below, roughly translated, from the Dutch NPO. In the French part, what I think it is saying is that in areas where there is a restricted zone in force then racing etc. is prohibited but games (races) are permitted outside those areas. So, racing from France looks possible at this stage. Avian flu measures Netherlands, Belgium and France Although there is no protection and surveillance zones have been established in the Netherlands because of bird flu, the measures that the government took previously, still in force. This is because the risk remains high on bird flu contamination by wild waterfowl, and one wants to minimize the risk of contamination. However pigeons without measures. This may just fly out! From Belgium today we received the message that there doves again allowed to fly without restrictions. Starting next week, there may again africhtingen and flights are operated. France, the measures formulated as follows: The matches with pigeons with departure, arrival, overflight or participation of pigeons coming from an ecological or administrative area, which are subject by the head of the department on measures against avian influenza in wild birds are prohibited. However, games are permitted outside the infected zones.

Well done to all involved. Let me know the next time you are going and I'll see if I can get a cuddle as well.

2 days to go and still bargains to be had.
