Latebreds for most fanciers are deemed as a nuisance and they don't receive the same amount of due care and attention so come time for them to race as yearlings they fail. However, there are some superb fanciers I know up here that love em, they will breed a squad of latebreds from their best racers that season and they are trained all winter regardless of the weather and they do get a good strike rate later on.

Nuclear power stations, that's a new one but a load of crap ;D ;D ;D

The quality of the pigeon is the same It is the methods of feeding, racing, breeding, medication etc that have changed

Good question David , it is something I have been thinking a lot of lately. For us, taking into account my work patterns and type of racing we enjoy it would have to be hens

What an awesome record Chris, real top flying mate, nice one ;D ;D ;D

A top man is Ken

Vic has just 'pulled' down the docks ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Merseyside Constabulary have just released this picture

Yes Years ago at the Alfons Bauwens auction bought birds that form the basis of our family.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Vic says he is sober ;D as one well known Scouse would say "My Ar$e" As for saying we are mob flyers, quickly dash to the drink cabinet and pour yourself another drink old man 1st Open SNFC Newbury - sent 7 1st Open SNFC Falaise - sent 5 1st Open SNFC Cholet - sent 4 Is this mob flying , I hardly think not ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :P

Some things never change do they, poor old Vic is still supping the old cheap Scouse pop. ;D ;D ;D ;D Vic,take a hard look at the bird on the left of my postings, this is the ultra superb hen that humped you on that most memorable day from Cholet , she hammered your loft beating you in the clock and flying 100 miles further on her way to a national win and RPRA award , aint life so sweet ;D ;D ;D ;D I have always sensed it was far too much for you accept and take in :P ;D One piece of advice old alki , stay sober ;D

Words of wisdom from Stu

I am saddened by the news, Bobby was a phenominal national racer. Rest In Peace Bobby

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Great thread this ;D Seems a bit too much for some to accept regarding dual union membership, don't worry about it my friends, life's too short Have always maintained the RPRA is the superior union until I am proven otherwise but at the same time you will find in my previous mails I have never said anything of ill nature regarding the SHU. Proud to memebers of 2 unions and 2 national clubs which equates to double the fun ;D ;D ;D 8) 8) 8) 8)

Boring , how very true indeed. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D 8) 8)

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

It was a good response from Les as what was happening was some of the Scottish politicians were intent in dragging the good name of the Cumbrian RPRA region into the dirty war. Les put the record straight, nice and simple.

A superb letter by Les Blacklock in the BHW

Believe me , this cock is an absolute cracker !!!!!

We are members of both the SHU and RPRA, there is simply no comparision between the two, the RPRA is miles ahead on all accounts, their conduct and professionalism one would expect of a huge organisation is excellent. It filled us up with immense pride last year when we collected our RPRA award and medal. Before some start getting excited, we joined the RPRA many years ago long before the outbreak of civil war with the view of joining some English classic clubs to participate in 700 - 800 mile races. Leave politics to the overpaid old farts in Holyrood and Westminster and just enjoy your pigeons

Agree 100% Fifestay If ETS was to be introduced in the future, a new union will arise Is it better to have anti ETS fanciers joining a new union rather than leaving the sport, at the end of the day it is all a matter of choice

Verselle Laga Quite like the IC ranges

There are one or two exceptions in the BHW John 8) ;D ;D
