Andy When I was I boy in the small village of Ecclefechan there wer 20 odd members!!! BUT The vast majority wer SHOCKING and wer just hobby guys rather than trying to be competitive??

Me too!!! Must have been the hills that done it cos they wer comin over here well and quite a few doon here wae 100% returns and a lot of birds at the clock opening?

Anybody gan?

Can anybody help me!!! The fancieris leaving for a four week holiday to spain on wednesday

He did win it wae pigeons tho???? They all the same just diffo coaching??? Well done on yer win Tam

I have never sent yin over the channel, 440 miles+ to me, but I am sure I will be tempted!!! OH wait, I sent yin to Ypres last year after he had scored at both inland nats as a yearling and never seen him again!!! Think that was me being over eager Davey!!!! I aint a big believer in setting distance levels for families but vertainly dont win much inland wae my Kirkpatricks and have a low percentage with my old van reet family at the channel!!!

You not think that individual pigeons from diffo families can click at certain ages while similarly bred pigeons win from the start?

Ye 160mls, they flew the prog Tam but wer never near the front again!! Had to revert to other options for further distances!! Perhaps next year they might be better? Do you think that birds mature into better racers after the excitable yearling stage? Or that good/winning pigeons win from the word go?
