ally mac Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 As mentioned in another post I am hoping to get started with some racers. I have entered the Edinburgh One loft Race after some generous help from Kenny. I have also some birds coming in the spring from down south, though I am not sure what or when. I am looking for some birds to get me going just now. Preferably from Scotland as Amtrak dont deliver to me in Oban. Though I can get them collected from Glasgow if required, just takes a bit more organising, not always easy when dealing with Amtrak. Anyway, very much a novice when it comes to racers so just looking for some reasonable birds at a reasonable price to cut my teeth with and maybe have a go if I can find a club that would be willing to take me on.

ally mac Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Posted October 30, 2007 I have done that before aswell, one way or another we can get them here. I have collected some from Glasgow in the past or sometime our local carriers have collected them, though with Amtrak it can be a bit of a nightmare. A few years ago I drove to Liesester and back to collect some rollers I was being lent for the winter. I wont tell you what the wife was calling me. It was a long drive there and back. Al
