Hi John All is well up here. There is a Peterhead pigeon club that has a mini site, maybe get a contact from there. As for Crouchie........ he can come to Ibrox Chris

John The UK master of extreme long distance lives in Peterhead, Jim Donaldson

Thanks to all that have enquired, the current batch have now been sold.

I am in a position to offer some Gaby Vandenabeele youngsters, due to work commitments I am no longer taking the next round from my breeders and the young bird loft doors are now closed. My Gaby breeders are bred by M&D Evans and Mike Lycett from their very best and I mean best, direct children from their chapion breeders and racers. They will be ready in the next 5-10 days. Nice cheap price £40 each for a quick sale. To keep within the guidlines set by the webmaster, I fly in partnership as Mr & Mrs C Little from Eastriggs, breeding info is as above and full comphrehensive details will be supplied. Please send PM for further info

Jealousy, poor sportsmanship, backstabbing, breakaway clubs ETS - multiple clocking of dozens of birds Pigeon Dealers More emphasis now on how much a bird wins as opposed to its performance Red Tape I could go on

Brilliant news, certainly a lot better than treking down to Crewe. Now that there is a section M, will this race marking station be available for other NFC races

Excellent post Frank, couldn't agree more.

We got 6 direct in 1999. They turned out to produce the best sprinters we have ever owned, they were frightening. ;D ;D

RIP Jimmy A true gentleman

The SNFC was once regarded as the best long distance club in the UK, now it seems to cater for sprinters as well. Inland races are fine, having won one ourselves but the adrenalin kicks in when we race over the channel, can you imagine the uproar from our forefathers decades ago if it was suggested to them there was going to be inland nationals in their time.

We use Colombine Fertoil every year prior to pairing up up

He does indeed, he is well aware of the interest in Scotland, I keep in regular with him about how things are shaping

So is mine Frank along with many others Discussed this at the South Lanarkshire quiz night on Friday and got a good response.

:o :o :o :o :o ;D

Frank, I would love to see a Geraldy down at my neck of the woods, unfortunately many fanciers aren't willing to put the elbow grease in, maybe you can call in at ours and pick up mine enroute

Nice one Frank, hard work always pays and the rewards are great

Wise post Decky, the master is my choice

Looks very nice Stu

Edinburgh International One Loft Race for us and hiopefully a club syndicate too. Maybe Europa, still fuming though at the stupid additional race they had in 2005

Rest In Peace Andy

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) Words of Wisdom

All birds are SOLD

I have available a selection of Gaby Vandenabeele youngsters, these are not latebreds, they have been maturing in the aviaries and will be ideal for early breeding. We have at stock a most impressive array of Gabys bred by Mike Lycett and M&D Evans, all of which are direct from their champions. All one price , £50 each. Please send PM for further info. You will not be disappointed.

Thats right Sammy, just about every member of the public had heard of Rennes and Nantes which they all knew were associated with our great hobby. Even now many workmates still talk of Rennes and Nantes.... Before anyone jumps up and down, I am not discrediting anyone who has done well from the alternative racepoints, we were once 3rd Open Chenoise but they dont seem to hold the same magic and romance as the mighty names of Rennes and Nantes. Why are these racepoints no longer used by even our English comrades

I would love to see a return to Rennes and Nantes
