Well Done the Wee Tally Man.If in Doubt dont Pool and we wish you every success for the remainder of the young bird season.Thank God were not a Doo in Your Dookit :rolleyes:Just wondering if these 2 latest Champs were bred aff Latebreds.

Well Done Wee Mick.Hows the returns in your area.

Sedgefield 14/8/10 Well done John fantastic flying. 1)J Dougal Vel:-1446.169 2)J Dougal 1417 3)H Harkin 1417 4)J Lindsay 1413 5)J Lindsay 1410 6)J Dougal 1409 7)A@J Cook 1406 And the rest off us all as per the attendance book.Next week its the Special Duplication Race within the Fed good luck to all.

Well Done Young Jock your the Man Auld Yin Widnae Listen Last Night or Reason Way the Four Wise Men.

Lanarkshire Fed had a great race.Best times we have heard Wullie Semple 17.09and the Great McAloneys at 17.12pm.We have 43/49 within the first hour the best times from the Golden Mile Club that we have heard is Wee Jocky 17.5 with a blaw hammer.

With the Glasgow Fed at Berwick their Velocity is around 1020.For the Lanarkshire Fed to be in par it will take our pigeons around 3.35 hrs for the 125 mls :huh:Could be a sare day which has to be considered .

Bill thats a Velocity of 1020 quite sare on youngsters.

There,s no much the Wee Toon Cryer Disnae know.Still Very Overcast at Racepoint with showers and NO wind but sun is trying to get through.Looks like a No Goer.

Turned out Summers Day here in Lanarkshire.Hope it clears up around the Sedgefield Area in the next hour.Is there any Forum Members from around that area who could give us up-date.

Big man yer right .Wee dropped 47/64 how many did yae drop last week.

Good luck who is the favourte No being a betting man i would go for R Richardson

Always thought there wis a bit of Norrie in Mr Flighty but never tought there was a bit of the TALLY in him.

Lanarkshire Fed no word till 12.30pm.How the Hell they canny let the fanciers know early morning is way beyond me.Jittery and Co, playin Tactics again :angry:If they are in doubt move them back to Otterburn and toss them.

Will depend on tomorrows long range forecast.In hindsight the Lanarkshire Fed would be better of having the remainder of the season from Otterburn.???

Firstly were the youngsters ready for the jump as i know in our club the birdage doubled.My main concearn is the fact that many birds brought for race marking are not in good health,and often should not be accepted for entry.We dont have basket controllers as such to give advice on medication and try and help their birds problems.Birds that are not ranging freely then put into races without schooling only hold the others back.Medicine for some will cure them but not keep them clear of illness and in most instances better husbandry and care will.In our Fed we have 3 races to go and the basket controllers might be a positive step to prevent many health matters which in this day are very prevalent.

Alec Good Pigeons Win Top Prizes if you haven,t got excellent stock all the methods in the world will not turn poor badly bred birds into Champions.Good luck with your pre-potent line yae canny buy it.

Bill how are the Belgie wans doing we have 2/3 but its early doors.

Frank the aged stock birds i am referring to are the 98% which as you know there are some Hell Bent in trying to Offload.We are trying to specialise and engineer the other 2% family for perfection to perform at Fed and National Level.To do this we are extremely regimental with almost everything,including time,feed,exercise and rest all to the clock.Never alter the time for any reason,be ruthless with selection.The good go ,the very good get a chance,but the best are the 2% i keep referring to whether it be racing or in the Stock Loft. Only Pre-Potent pairs will breed to any age but you tell me ,who are selling them and if they are they are done.Good luck with the rest of your season you have done well and dont worry about your losses, breed of your winners this year and start your own family.

Robbie believe whit you like never forget the 98% rule and keep clear of aged stock birds.

Consett on 7/8/10 26 members sent 894 birds Congratulations to Big Davie Watson & Daughter on this fine win and hard luck to King Billy. 1)D Watson & Daughter vel :-915.077 2)Thomas Richardson :-906 3)J&K Miller :-895 4)R Kelly &Son :-886 5)J Dougal :-873 6)D Richardson :-872 7)G Harkin @Son-Loft No 2 :868 Thats why Big Derek wis keen tae get the result. Looks Like the Shotts Doo will take a bit of beating in the Fed this week.

Thanks to all the Fanciers who have Congratulated myself and George on Winning the Old Bird Average within the Fed for the 2nd Time in 3 years.Its a lot of hard work but timing this year in the SNFC Gold Cup was the icing on the cake. :rolleyes:Just takes a wee bit of luck and the Wee Man on yer side.

Sapper i hope you are correct but our pigeons never made it into Scotland yesterday for whatever reason.

Sare going and a game of hard swallies.The pigeons that are missing are not in Scotland.
