Channel Racing Update

[Bigda]

Guernsey 452 miles to Kirky, Jersey 470 miles.

You would get about 470 to Hastings

[alec guinness]

Used to have some good stiff races from GUERNSEY.

 

Flew GUERNSEY in the early eighties successfully with the SCOTTISH MIDWEEK SPECIALIST CLUB, also yearling and young bird derbys from Dorchester.

[Bigda]

The nat should have 6 races from hastings only and take averages from all six to win the gold cup with early and very late libs

[Bigda]

The six races would not have any effect on betting in opens or section,but each member would get 6 bird nom. for 10 positions

In there section for. The 1 race,6 noms then 5 noms for the 2 and 3. For the 3 race and 2 then 1 , if you don't have 6 to race you go with the number you have till it gets to the last race which is 1 bird nom the national is not a fair race at all

As if you come from Aberdeen, or fly from the border its some 250 mile of a difference and that can't be right were ever you fly from in France if you hit the coast the Aberdeen bird has a 600 mile race to begin again to get home

I was on the phone to Vince Hendry earlier John and he told me about Wullie Kane (1 of the Kane bros from Hamilton) his next door neighbour at the time in the 50's

Wullie got a doo from the Lanarkshire fed Guernsey race in the 50's at 5.30 on the 2nd morning and was still in bed and Vince's mother was up and seen the blue grizzle on the landing board and went and chapped Wullie up out his bed to time the doo in and top the fed. Wullie got another doo at 8am to be 3rd fed ...Happy days

Ets now stay in bed and be warm, the day of the duvet wrapped over you is now over, just snuggle under it now game on

Important Update:

The very recent update from the RPRA sent to the BICC and many many others in the Fancy, has clearly caused both awareness of the current European Law concerning movement of all birds within the EU, and considerable debate and concern amongst the pigeon racing community, as to whether English clubs will, or will not, be allowed to race from France and Spain in 2021. The RPRA with whom we have been in discussion are confident and supportive and consequently the BICC wishes to advise both their members and the wider racing community at large, that we intend to continue with our cross-Channel program commencing with the first race from Falaise on May 1st. The BICC would like to thank Ian Evans and the RPRA for all the hard work being put in.
