Deejay, No problem, as I said we don't use ETS but our club got a grant 2 seasons ago for 10 T3 clocks, a printer and a laptop so members can borrow these and they are all almost brand new so should be no problems.

I go to the show to get a break and also meet friends old and new, I have met loads of people non fanciers who actually come at that time of the year as they know that there will be a good atmosphere and people will enjoy themselves.

We are staying at The Hollies on Albert Road

Never do my stock birds.

Deejay, Sorry no offence it was only a joke I was at work on nights and your mind goes numb, As stated on here the ETS is not accepted in this country yet, personally I am not bothered if it comes in or not, the best pigeon will still win it will only benefit multi drops. There are good and bad points and so when it does come in will be up to the individual fancier what they want to do.

Race pigeons myself not clocks.

So because Jack Barkel does not agree with what you say it is crap, I thought there was 1001 ways to fly widowhood and that includes feeding, I dont feed bean but I dont say its crap everyone to their own I say.

Been windy all day just started raining about 1 hour ago.

back in on nights 27th.

Not that sure that the velocities are that much better some of the winds given at liberations these days leave a lot to be desired, results of birds up in Northerly winds doing 1500's not a chance, one of the old fanciers said the convoyers of some organisations need to be shown how to read a compass so they can get the correct wind.

Same as last year 12 widowhood cocks.

Red plastic ones for T3

I have 2 x T3's

Keep flying.

Got to be the back garden, security and if there are any family problems you are there to sort

Thats whats missing now RESPECT.

In our club you can win all the prize cards but you can only win 2 money prizes, this way the birds get the credit and the money is shared out.

Wish I had a loft full like that, winning no problem.

Thats why they are called racing pigeons, to race.

Merry Christmas to all and a Happy and Prosperous New Year

I was born in 1959 and when I was growing up, not many paedophiles, not much of a drugs problem, nobody waiting in dark alleys to mug old folk or breaking in their homes to murder them, also if you were caught doing anything wrong by the boys in blue you got a clip round the ear and you knew you dare not go home and tell your dad as he would make sure you did not sit down for a week, namby pamby goverments bringing in laws that make it impossible for you to discipline your own kids everything now has to be so clean that there is little or no resistance to germs ( getting the same in pigeons ) kids used to sit in the streets and make mud pies and taste them too, never did them any harm, at the end of the day all these things have been brought in to fleece you of your hard earned cash.

Bill Ishmael scaled down as he moved house, now lives in Parbold not Orrell, also scaled down due to his age.

Bought a pair at Brownlee, Nee Son & Ward sale last year, a young cock won 2 prizes as a youngster and his brother had his first race at 150 miles, was always steady high hopes for him this year.

Must agree with ace on this ones widowhood cocks should knock the back of the loft out if right, if your on natural birds should still trap, maybe there are cats knocking about when your not there, if they are on natural and not feeding youngsters trim their food a bit.

Mac are we talking about old or young birds
