Well done Tony.Great result mate.

Hi Carlsberg, Mine were also liberated on Saturday.Personally i don't think they should have gone up. Sundays libs from North rd were always going to be faster velocities. All the best for next time mate

My velocity from Ripon was 1150 ypm.Very hard race lots missing in the Fed.

Ripon 190miles North Road.

Totally agree.Another plus for ETS. You are right ,lesson learned,it won't happen again.

H i Webmaster, As Mark correctly stated i was 2nd club doing 1514 Ypm.Got caught out and found bird in the loft.Lost race by 1 minute.Won't do that again. Well done to everyone who took part,it was good fun.

Wetherby 176 miles 265 yds.North rd.

Sorry my post should read Retford.Not Newark.

Well done Sue keep it up

Lib fron Newark 9.00am clocked 12:01:18 Velocity 1257 ypm.129miles 908 yds.

That's true Andrew.Frans Zwols 52nd,but look at those Vredeveld pigeons.21,23,28,39,45,47.Frans uses those bloodlines. Those Koopmans had a pretty good race.

Retford 129m 908 yds (If waterlogged will be brought back to Newark 113m 104 yds) North road. Jim Newton (Head & Newton)

I won my club on the North rd,Libbed at 8.30 this morning .doing 1266 ypm.Sent 22, had 21 home when i left loft at 3pm.

The Havering Fed are at Newark.113 miles to me.

Glad to be of help Damien. There are lots of ways to feed and many products to put in the water.This is just one of them. Bottom line is Good pigeons,in good health,get them fit,educate them on the road,get a good motivational system.Unfortunately you have to do your bit and put in lots of effort.Get the above right and you won't go far wrong. Many unsuccessful fanciers blame their birds or the ventilation in loft or anything they can think of!!! but the bottom line is that they are normally to blame,with their lack of effort. Thats just my opinion.Best of luck with your racing mate. Jim Newton (Head & Newton)

Saturday after a race birds receive a light mix of Diet 200 left in front of them until the last bird returns then left for 20 minutes and removed.In the water is Honey, Electrolytes and a pro-biotic. Sunday birds fed 11/4oz/bird of diet 200.Water contains pro-biotic & a water sanitizer such as Avisan. Aviol.or TCP. Monday 50%Diet 200 50%Gerry plus 11/4oz/bird.Water contains Johnsons Tonic. Tuesday 50%Diet 200 50%Gerry plus 11/4oz/bird.Water-Cider vinegar. Wednesday 100% Gerry plus 11/4oz/bird.Water-cider vinegar. Thursday 80%Gerry plus 20% Maize All they can eat.Leave in front of them for 1 hour.Water-Pro biotic.Harkboost. Friday Diet 200 1oz/bird.I feed 9am take away 10am.Basket 4pm.Water-B12,Gaurana. This system i use up to 200 miles.Hope you find it useful. Jim Newton (Head & Newton)

We add Turkey layers pellets to all our mixes.The ones we use contain no antibiotic.We normally add 5-10% depending on which mix.We have had no adverse affects using the pellets and our birds thrive,both breeding and racing on them. Jim Newton (Head & Newton)

Very well done Paulo.Keep up the hard work and more success will come your way. Best of luck for this weekend mate.

I totally agree with the above. If these two young 'un's are g'children of Jester,Carrie etc,then they represent very good value.Someone will get a good deal.

Yes,that is a very poor way to go about helping a new starter in the sport. I hope the guy has much better experiences elsewhere and stays in the sport. Jim Newton (Head & Newton)

Hi, The water system i am using is to keep the birds healthy and prevent diseases it is: Saturday after a race Electrolytes,Probiotic.Honey. Sunday- Avisan or any water sanitizer in the water.Evening Probiotic Monday-Multi-vitamins. Tuesday-Johnsons tonic or any liver tonic. Wednesday-Cider vinegar Thursday-Cider vinegar Friday-Just fresh water.Nothing added. Hope this is useful.Good luck...............Jim Newton (Head & Newton)

Absolutely spot on. Buy all these products,mix it yourself.Goes a long way and the birds love it.

Wasted money on Gemthepax,not worth the asking price. Matrix is good for the birds,but again not worth the asking price.You can make similar up yourself.Far cheaper.

£90 from me,Stuart.

In a nutshell the answer is no.
