Alright for some John ;D Raining in the Solway area

Am I right in saying the Midland fed liberated from Leyland this morning , pure suicide, the weather here was attrocious even for the ducks.......

Yeah , I'll go with Pigeon Man , I watched John Halstead's video in the late 90's and things have progressed from there.

Solway Federation postponed till Sunday , racing from Appleton

Hyacinth Its a small world...... I know a Mr Ian French well , he lives about 3 miles away from us , he used to live down London way before he moved up to the glorious land over the border. Think it could be the same guy....

Check out their site http://www.geraldy-kfz.de/eng/content_anhaenger.html Cheers Chris

I think they are around £2500

Where abouts in Cumbria are you Jim

Solway Fed at Leyland, still waiting

Dull and overcast in the Solway area

No worries Stu Even though I am a member of the NFC I am not aware of where the keen areas are with respect to loyalties and what implications the racepoints have. Quietly plotting an assault of Pau , Saintes

The Old Comrades Show which was at Rotherham last year is now being held at Telford as stated by Alan and P Man.

You cant please everyone, either way there is going to be unhappy fanciers, you've just got to be grateful there is some form of racing this year and just get on with it

Get in touch with the region secretary stating with categories you wish to enter and he will send you the forms to be filled in and signed by your club secretary.

A training toss and setting of clocks ??? surely this can be classed as a race then

No one is as stupid as you guys although our fed aint far behind. Sheer stupidity at the decision to go ahead and racemark tonight...... pathetic > Our youngsters are still at home in the lofts , a quiet weekend for them ;D

I wish...... The Solway Federation are racemarking tonight for Leyland > :

I am sure Bobby Carruthers won a SNFC race from Sartilly with a 9 year old hen

There's nowt wrong with Newbury for national racing :

Got the Darkness videos years ago , thought they were spot on and derived our own system from them. Give John a break regarding his tone , he aint no Hollywood actor, I have been in a couple of productions myself and I aint no Tom Hanks either

Mmmm , cheers lads Will ask the secretary tonight if he got any

Solway area 7:50am - blue skies with small patches of light cloud , slight north west breeze

Did the SHU produce that booklet with all federation ring numbers and contact numbers , they were quite handy.

Funnily enough we bought 10 in 1998 as well , 2 of them won as youngbirds including winning our fed open young bird race. These two were red cheqs and nestmates. The fed topper went onto win a 1st club from 300miles as a yearling and he also scored in the SNFC Vire race in 2000.

Multiple timing is all down to greed and sheer arogance , you will find the ones that bang em in are the ones that advertise year in year out and just love spouting off their club results in the advertisements. What is to be achieved by timing in 10 / 12 birds a race , only one bird concerns me ... the winner A few years back I entered some young birds in a golden ring race , we were lucky enough to win 1st and 2nd with quite a tidy sum , there was 4 prizes for the race , we never timed our 3rd bird when it came , it could have also won a prize , when the result was being processed there was a young school lad there and you should have saw his face light up when he found out he had won the 4th prize plus some handy pocket money , had I timed our 3rd bird he wouldn't have experienced the joy of his bird winning some money. Seeing the lad so happy was priceless, moments like these stick in my mind and knocks multiple timing.
