agree with you 100% , awaiting arrivals in the village when the birds were liberated, poolers etc were caught up in the batches watched them circle for over 30 mins trying to clear

well done Pentland fed best race of the year so far,20/20 home in less than an hour

sec changed his phone , here is his new number 07832497172

just read about this in the evening news, sad times

thanks for the support guys , but a few mistruths going around. 1. the driver told me last week that the transporter wouldnt start BUT when it did it ran fine.Remember we stop & start at every club and there was no more problems,i offerd to have it looked at but with it having started 1st time every time it was told it was okay.Now remembering the vehicle was only looked at a few weeks ago where the tank/fuel line have been stripped & cleaned, it was given a clean bill of health then. 2.the vehicle was started on monday & moved because of the high winds to a more sheltered spot,then moved back again.No indication then of a problem. 3.the 1st the problem came to light was approx 5.30 when the driver arrived. 4.the mechanics/ boys at the transporter we confident that they would get the transporter to start,i can only go with the advice i am given , by the time it was apparent that it wasnt happening we had missed out on a lift from neighbouring feds.yes they were asked, yes they would have taken us,but being into longer races they had already gone/ were passed us. 5.it is not possible to go with other feds now ,i know of at least one club which has taken their pigeon for a training flight. i am as disapointed as every one else at leicester being cancelled, i am personally not looking forward to jumping my own pigeons next week.but and i stress i did everything i could to get a race for us this weekend. rhona

9.11 from otterburn good race & returns, full credit to the race controller on a good call

oh no how awful thoughts are with the driver and convoyer at this sad time , hope no one is injured and the birds are ok

NOT SURE ON HOW MANY MEMBERS BUT I CAN TELL YOU THEIR BIRDAGE WAS DOWN TO ABOUT 2000 BIRDS AT THE START OF YB SEASON .WITH 4595 RINGS GOING TO MEMBERS THIS YEAR. COMPAIRD TO YEARS AGO WHEN AN EASY 5000 PLUS WENT DOWN AT THE START OF YB RACING.THEIR IS STILL (ALSO DOWN TO ONLY 9 CLUBS WITH EDINBURGH PREMIER THE STRONGEST CLUB) actually we have 10 clubs
