Nae worries Andy Mr Gibson aint the only one that's going to keep an eye on your upcoming team of national hens ;D

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Gutty Hen Just stick to what you do best I have tons of mates in the pigeon world and from both sides of the Scottish political divide........ unlike some I have huge regard for Andy, he is a class fancier with superb results. Andy is well capable of winning nationals where he is ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

A few drams up your end lastnight then Andy ;D

Many fine greats mentioned in the fine article, nice to see we got a mention Rennes............ dont you just miss it :'(

Well said Frankdooman ;D ;D Can't wait

Now then Andy, what's this about some of us supporting the English at footie, nae chance We have been members of the NFC long before the civil war which has blighted our sport in Scotland kicked off....... it is my ambition and dream to time birds in from 800 miles. The NFC offers to me that opportunity It is all about enjoyment of our sport, politics and nationalities having nothing to do with it whatsoever, this is often overlooked by many

A brilliant idea and one which we will be supporting. We were originally in section L, now in section M BRING IT ON !!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

A fine hen and a cracking story mate Keep em coming

Cheers Stu , you just answered a question I was gonna ask you about Lowik even though I have never seen their names at the top of the national results. What is the best site to access Dutch national results Cheers Chris

Why aint you at work Scottie

Great stuff Stu The only auctions we ever seem to have north of the border are entire claerance sales. Nice to see a quality breeding establishment fetching some birds. Bring plenty Dutch long distance doos

Matt was a SNFC legend and a true gentleman Rest In Peace Matt

None at the moment, will try my best and get a couple of pictures posted.

I have 2 cracking yearling cocks for sale bred from our national winning family. The main core of our family is based on the very best of Geoff Kirkland's old lines which are Alfons Bauwens with a sprinkle of Desmet Matthys and Van De Pol. We housed many direct children of Geoff's national winners including 3 from the immortal Pest. This family of birds are responsible for numerous club and fed wins but more importantly many top Scottish national positions including 3 national winners and a RPRA award. The Bauwens birds are an honest family, always reliable and well capable of winning the sprints but they excel from 200 miles out to 557 miles and beyond. LOT 1 £200 Yearling chequer cock, flown 2 races as a young bird. Sire - David's Boy : 1st Open SNFC Newbury 260 miles, 4000 birds plus top club prizes. Dam - Fiona's Girl : 1st Open SNFC Falaise 450 miles, 3000 birds plus top club prizes. LOT 2 £70 Yearling chequer white flight, unraced as a young bird due to picking up an injury prior to racing. Sire - '43', top Bauwens racer, winner of numerous club prizes including 9th Open SNFC Frome and 87th Open SNFC Messac 500 miles. Dam - Full sister of Fiona's Girl winner of 1st Open SNFC Falaise. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed. Chris Little , chriona1@aol.com

I'll be there Stu

Why do I think is is a good idea..... It will be a challenge and something new All the racepoints are in the east , why not have one from the west, give others a chance :

At the start of the season set your goals If you meet them you have suceeded , if you never then you've failed

The SNFC ETS rules made interesting reading : :

It is a fantastic idea It will get my vote

Hmmm , might do

Doesn't come as a real surprise, the whole event from start to finish was a shambles

Vic good for the forum.......... my baw bag ;D Another ream of top performances from the Master from Bristol

On the topic of winning velocities The SNFC Gold Cup record winning velocity is 1645 ypm from Rennes in 1967

;) ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

Jealous ????? not at all Firstly, I have sheer admiration for fanciers at the top of their game Secondly, it makes me try all the harder to beat them I know many love to stir it and bad mouth the winners with their jealous attitudes
