Delboy Posted December 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Friday and Monday are deffo the best days but it cant happen lads. Saturday or Sunday it is as folk entered their doos thinking this would be the dates and could be working etc. All it takes is one person to say no to Friday then it cant happen.

Delboy Posted December 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Ok, ladies and gents. I've been in the doos a long time and I know a wee bit about the game. Nobody needs to tell me we should've had a race today as the weather is horrendous tomorrow and not the best on Sunday BUT we couldn't race today. Why? we had 4 dates to have the race and they were the 8th, 9th, 15th or 16th December. The last chance is the 16th and that's all the options available to me. If i'd had the race today, someone would've complained that they were working and that it wasn't in the remit to have a race on this date . Flexibility is the key to success in racing pigeons but i'm afraid we haven't got this for this event. Nobody thinks that we need a hall, convoyer, trailer available for all these dates as well, never mind any other date. Anyway, as it stands just now, we are marking tomorrow night at 6pm for a race on Sunday 16th, pos lib at 10am. FINGERS CROSSED WE CAN ACHIEVE THIS. A FINAL UPDATE WILL BE ON PIGEON BASICS TOMORROW AT 12 NOON.Del Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyleakin Lofts Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 A big well done Derek and your team. It is not an easy thing to organise and unless you have been involved in organising events, you may not appreciate all he complications that can arise. Again, well done and good luck to all taking part. I hope you have a successful race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delboy Posted December 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Good luck with your race Cheers John, hope yer feeling a bit better. Marking is at 6pm tonight as already planned. Please remember to pay by cash as this lets me pay the money out immediately after the race. Last year, most had their result and prize money in their hands a couple of days after the race and id like to do the same this year. See you tonight, cheers Del Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
