Kyleakin Lofts

It may be George. I think RPRA use Garmin to pinpoint the loft and Solway used Garmin when they done their lofts. After checking with Benzing the measurements were the same, so the Garmin was approved. The only remaining difference would be the race-point end and the method of measurement, i.e. Great Circle versus ?

Stuart, the difference might decrease once the SHU have their new measurements using the Benzing GPS.

Good morning all.

This is at the early stages just now. The joint effort has been given this name for reference purposes, it is only a name, no need to get technical about it. I don't know how much joint conveying there will be, but a joint liberation means lots of pigeons flying into the same general area, safety in numbers I presume. I have RPRA measurements and my current SHU measurements are only a couple of yards different. I have not yet been measured by SHU under the new system. Glasgow and South Lanarkshire (RPRA) and Ayrshire and Lanarkshire (SHU) are all I know of at this time who intend to have joint liberations. The race points are (Otterburn, Wetherby, only some Feds joint for these) Retford, Melton Mowbray and Peterborough, for the full Amalgamation, albeit Ayrshire have decided to go with the National on the Peterborough week, but they will be making provisions for their members who wish to go with the Amalgamation. This has been spoken about over the last two years, I think Mr John Quinn first mooted the idea, and in my opinion, it is good that it is happening. It is just a pity that it has taken three years to reach this stage, but it is progress nevertheless.

It seems that this Amalgamation is up and running. I don't have any official notification as yet, but a Facebook Group has been started and by the comments on that group, it is up and running. From what I am reading it is for joint liberations only, at this stage. Been a long time coming, but a move in the correct direction at last.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

East Coast Software is what I use. I find it easy to use and very good backup. The Federation uses it as well for their race programme.

Happy birthday.

What do they eat if and when they finish off all the red mites that may or may not be there?

My current loft faces south east. They hit form, if you are able to call it that, during end June / start July. My new loft will be facing north west and possibly south east. When I state the direction it faces, I am talking about the trap. The new loft, I may have two traps. The north west will be the sprint pigeons, the south east for the distance loft.

Good morning all.

Happy birthday.
