I’m sure you can mind when the feds split up. So I’m nae doubting ye. UIt’s just that my Da has tickets fae way back and into 1970 he was in the North East fed Jist read yer post Jim , I've tickets in the 70ties in fact I gave john Thompson the first pigeon that I timed out of the SNFC she as the tame hen , a 1969 bird in fact it died up in johns loft , I was flying in fed with Aberdeen George Mitchell was the sec , before Aberdeen went on there own what I said was when the fed broke up at that meeting if my mind is right was held in the Royal Oke in Banff ,at finish of meeting it was taken up as a good will gesture that NO poaching of members , and again I never mentioned huge amounts of birds , but I can assure you there was huge amount of members , the Fraserburgh club had 44 members when I was secretary , but we didn't need huge amounts of doos as you mention , we didn't loose the doos then as is happening , now but there's one certain thing y mention it was great racing , and yes I really enjoyed flying in the top National club in Aberdeenshire the Fraserburgh Invitation & later called Fraserburgh & district , with marvellous SNFC pos against record birdcage , 4 5 6 7 8 thousand birds so yes birdage was huge, not like now , as ye must know on its last legs , but am still not sure what yer getting at , I don't think I know you , was y even born when the Aberdeen fed was formed , anyway Jim have a good year racing , but I can't say against HUGE CONVOYS of birds , cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
