Delboy Posted October 4, 2019 Author Report Posted October 4, 2019 I think you've got him this year m8 lol
Delboy Posted October 4, 2019 Author Report Posted October 4, 2019 I'll get an insight from the interest shown on this site to see whether its a goer again this year.
Kyleakin Lofts Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Is that the same day as the shu show? Sunday the 8th for the show. I'll try to have some ready this year.
DJL Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Sunday the 8th for the show. I'll try to have some ready this year. SHU show is 14th December
Kyleakin Lofts Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 SHU show is 14th December Stand corrected David. Thanks.
Delboy Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Posted October 5, 2019 SHU show is 14th December The date for the Xmas race will not clash with the SHU show therefore we will go for the 7th December. If weather is really bad then the 8th, 21st or 22nd Dec will be considered. I think its best to miss the weekend of the SHU show altogether.
Happyflyer Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Where will the marking station be this yr..
Delboy Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Posted October 5, 2019 Delighted to say that Archie Herd and Pigeon Basics have sponsored the race for £100 again, fantastic gesture again, thanks m8.
Delboy Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Also delighted to say that 'APEX GARDEN BUILDINGS' have kindly donated a 6x4 shed to raise money for prize money for this race.My plan is to sell bonus ball numbers 1-59 at £10 each . So anyone, fancier or non fancier has a chance to win a 6x4 shed for a £10 stake and then all the money brought in will be flown for in prize money. The Bonus ball will be drawn on Saturday 16th Nov 2019. Edited October 5, 2019 by Delboy
Chanter Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Really enjoyed preparing our birds and all the build up to this race last year. I was hoping you guys would have went south with the birds making it more of a level playing field for everyone competing. Somewhere like Appleby for example.
Delboy Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Posted October 5, 2019 Dunbar fairest measured race from east to west m8 but run an Appleby in January and i'll double mine back lol.
Chanter Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Dunbar it is then, lol. Look forward to it.
Delboy Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Posted October 5, 2019 Dunbar it is then, lol. Look forward to it. lol
broon94 Posted October 7, 2019 Report Posted October 7, 2019 fancy moving the race point a mile further down the road? am 44
Delboy Posted October 7, 2019 Author Report Posted October 7, 2019 fancy moving the race point a mile further down the road? am 44 It’s a pity m8 but that’s the rule I’m afraid and I canny change it now. Ye should start a race up yourself, I’m positive you’ll get a lot of interest.
Delboy Posted October 7, 2019 Author Report Posted October 7, 2019 If there is enough interest then I will consider an extra marking station in Lanarkshire. I've been offered the Uddingston club to mark birds but there has to be enough interest before this can happen.
