Thanks I will give them a phone to get the youngster back to its owner

SU 08 B 4156 came into my loft on Monday 28th July 2008, has an ETS ring on it and it is well flown down.

Hope all the Feds get their youngsters back as no one can afford to lose the bulk of thie team at the start of the racing programme. With regards to returns for the Glasgow fed as already stated we were fortunate to have excellent returns yesterday and last week we ended up with between 70% plus returns in what was a diddicult race for the youngsters. The job of a race controller is diidicult to say the least as they attemt week on week to get it spot on using what ever met repoprts they can get their hands on and to be fair to them how many people are queing up to take over from them ? They get it spot on most weeks despite the weather so well done them

Glasgow Fed Liberated at 1545 with excellent returns therefore once again well done to our Race Controller, that is total control in my opinion. Our Race controller uses "total control" especially when on occassions he decided for us not to basket on a Friday but delays it for 24hrs due to the predicted forecast and obviously for the genuine welfare of the birds. Well done again

Glasgow Fed still waiting on word as of 1026, birds sitting at kelso

Glasgow @ 1015 low cloud with no wind, hoping for it to break up to give us some sunshine. If any member is near Kelso could they post the weather there please.

I have read with interest the comments regarding the types of Transporters that each club / organisation has or hasn,t and the ones that have had the foresight to move to state of the art ones must be commended as surely it must help returns by ensuring optimum conditions whilst in the Basket. We all strive to get our birds into tip top condition and the one area that could let us down is the condition the birds have to be exposed to whilst waiting to be liberated.

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Mullen you have just proved that it is Possible to Win A National flying into the West Of Scotland. Credit to you both, at leat Mrs Mullen knows what it feels like to time in a National Winner maybe next time Stuart?

STUART, PLEASE PUT MY NAME INTO THE HAT MANY THANKS AND WELL DONE FOR THE KIND GESTURE ANDY

I have recently purchased some Leo von Rijn hens from Dean to compliment my own team of LVR, i must say how impressed i was on their arrival on their condition. If they breed as half as they look then i am onto a winner. He is a true gentleman and was a pleasure doing business with. Regards Andy

Thanks Geordie

SU 07 R 898 found in Cumbernauld area alive and well

Maybe my views are too simplistic but why post a message on this site and despite numerous attempts to contact this "Kind Fancier" i am still waiting. I will need to upgrade my Computer system in the hope of a quicker response or in future ignore the fancier,s posts in Future? Darnaway

Just back from Holiday and no word yet from the kind person who reported my birds can anyone help? Andy

I have sent Davy 2 messages about the birds GB07s84438 and 84496 unfortunately no reply if anyone knows his number can you pass it on to me. Thanks Andy

Amtrak if they made Beers they would probably make the worst one( taken from an old Carlsberg Lager Ad) Amtrak in my experience are only interested with getting your Money if the Bird arrives at its intended destination then this is an added Bonus. Regards Darnaway Ps As you might guess i,m still missing my pigeon that they picked up over a month ago from Doncaster.

Has anyone ever been in contact with these firms to ask if they could reduce their prices if we all gave them a substantial amount of business?

Pigeonman, I think you can guess by the amount of postings by myself that i am very disgruntled at Amtrak. My anger is directed at the company due to the fact that the company has lost my bird and they think by issuing an alert to all depot,s that absolves them from their responsibility. In a nut shell on the delivery date I was given an assurance that the bird would turn up the next day, for the next 2 days the Receptionists for the want of a better word stated I should just make a claim for the bird. " Didn,t take them long to lose intrest over an alleged PRIORITY search" I appreciate that you are defending the Drivers who i,m sure do a good job but they are working under the Auspices of the Company Logo Regards Darnaway
