Whats the times and returns like in your Area.We are at Ypres and Andrezel with the SNFC and i will keep the thread up-dated with the Latest times in Lanarkshire.Good Luck to all.

Same Coo whipped you in Falaise last year by 2hrs and 44 mins.

We also have 2-4 our good Hen Daisy arrived today who was 14th Sect Eastbourne and 5th Sect 18th Open Falaise 2008.Down in body weight but she is there to fight another day. ;

Canceling a race and re-jigging our programme has had no adverse effects on the Performances within the SNFC and when you consider last years Falaise race we had 25 pigeons in the 1st ,100 in the Open its on the cards that the West Sect is overdue another National Win. Good Luck to ALL.

I agree with Alec ,but what is the problem are we now keeping to many middle distance pigeons.

Atmospherics will play Havoc this weekend ( as they did last weekend) with Heavy Showers Lighting and Thunder Storms and i dont think we will get a race before Monday. Its a controllers Nightmare and we will have to give them all the support and assistance we can.

Alf there is 1200 pigeons away to Ypres and around 750-800 are Lanarkshire pigeons.Good luck and i hope the 300 at Andrezel get a good start with the distance into here in Lanarkshire around 580 mls.

There are to many National Races and not enough pigeons to go around.We should have 1 Inland,Alencon.Tours and Falaise as it is and with the Birdage we are getting they are meaningless and hold no credit.

Well done to Big Derek hope the birdage from Uddingston is up.

Just back from the Newmains marking station under 260 Ypres/21 Andrezal which is very disappointing to say the least considering 107 are away from the Newmains Club alone.After last week, returns, not really surprized as this will be the last race of the season for many. :(How many are away from your club/area.

What percentage do you believe is missing.I reckon it could be as high as 80%.You can have all the enquires you like it wont bring back the pigeons.

I and winning all our Doe, Jock the Lum Jack Be Nimble and the Hot Water Pond (Red Rocket)Blaw hamers. ;)halfing the beans and nailing them tae the Flair Oh Happy Days.

Good luck to all who timed but lets not forget about the pigeons who never got a chance.

Its just as Well the Jokers arent in it.
