Well said Walter.I know a guy who doesn't want to know when any one else is in he says it spoils the race for him.He wants to think he is a winner until the clocks are read and reality dawns.

What must that hen of yours be worth?No Chinese chapin at your door yet? Marvellous achievement.

Great pal just as I knew you were a gentleman. Never mind the Chinese chapping you’re door . Mr massarella will be on the phone . If it was my hen . NO CHANCE would I sell her , what to have her locked up for the rest of her life .moneys not everything. Marvellous performances from her over the years . I do hope she goes for her gold award and she gets it .

Well done everyone that got a bird, and gutted for my club mate Gogs Wilson who clocked at just after 5pm today but accidentally wiped his clock while trying to put his youngsters away to the race. The bird has flown well over 600 miles and was heavy pooled.

Hi Guys

 

Thanks for your support but no rubber rings were used this year my only concrete evidence is I took a photo of the times off my Unikon Clock on my phone showing it as a trainer

it was just a mistake I made myself so no one else is involved

just been told fanciers can request a rubber and get a second clock set

I didn't know they had changed it this year

 

pity gogs as you have a good bird ,

Ye it's an option.....you can also put a rubber on and clock in someone else's clock.

 

Terrible luck
