If you want a tan and a good bevy dal2 enter the algarve golden race next sept, anew one and i think may well turn out to be one of the best.Delboy nd gareth rankin were represented this year nd did prety well.

Aye W.D.Wullie was a character awe right, when he flew the birds he always won his share, he also flew in partnership with a guy by the name of Eddie Kitzman [aka eddie the pole]and there were some laughs.One race day Wullie went to the loft to watch for the y/bs returning only to find Eddie had taken down the y/b loft.The loft was directly in front and just below the gantry of the o/b loft, and as Eddie explained to wullie that the y/bs are always on the said o/b gantry anyway then they could just use the empty compartment there, and as wullie was goin apeshit the birds began to arrive, well you can imagine the rest.Wullie also showed Bantems successfully and raced the Grayhounds and there are many stories still told in Jed.There were lots of characters then who flew the doos and Jed was a big club 30/40 members with great cameraderie and craic on the friday and saterday nights.Sadly missed now with Jed only havin abt 8 flying members now.

Icouldnt say for sure, but in our club we had Hammy Sloans brother wullie.I know hammy came down to Jedburgh often to visit Wullie and exchanged pigeons with some of the members, mainly Russel-Bros who were very good flyers at that time.

Should have mentioned in previous post,Toe Laidlaws father John Laidlaw won Rennes in 1933.Another deceased member Wilf Mcauley won Dorchester in 1983.All past members were fantastic flyers and proper gentelmen.[sadly missed] Wilf being a previous partner of mine.

loved reading that result, thank you mr Rankin. There are three members of my old club jedburgh&dist, Mr J F Robertson a double national winner at Nantes Dr H O Martin also a national winner from i think also Nantes [gave me my first racing pigeon su60e2899] and J Laidlaw the father of the late Toe Laidlaw who won the y/b national.[Great birdages in those days]

Good luck Delboy,al be looking for the Scots doos tmoro.Forecast is good for the birds a light tail wind but it will still be a stiff test for them.Were the doos entered bred in Scotland?

Is there anyone on basics site visiting or have an entry in the Algarve One Loft Race. I will be going there tomorrow myself and it would be nice to have some birds to look out for.
