BIGPETE Posted December 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Nice, was a good competition last year. Planned to enter a couple myself but all the spaces were gone quicker then the blink of an eye. Amazing in the current climate and with the lack of new blood coming into the sport, an event like this won't build more lofts to accommodate more spaces as required. You'd think they'd want the maximum entrants they could attract so the prize money would be greater and more participation, more involvement across the board etc. Disappointing those in charge of promoting and furthering out sport would have the breaks on and not be trying to maximise participation and media coverage.

ovy1255 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Trying something different this year will let you all know how I get on later this year. NEHU ringsEdit Report this post QuotePost by ovy1255 » Wed Jan 02, 2019 11:06 pm NEHU rings available today so went through to office at Newcastle to collect them.This year I have sold ten rings in our fed for 100 quid each to ten different lofts making 1000 pounds as a single prize but young bird race won’t be drawn till last old bird race basket night at fed HQI have drawn up a set of rules for all 10 competitors to sign and our NEHU sec has made sure I got NEHU 19 AP 1 —NEHU 19 AP10.our fed is Annfield Plain and bird must be flown to a loft in fed boundaries and all claims will be verified.So are you trying something different from breeder buyers ?
