snowy Posted September 30, 2005 Report Posted September 30, 2005 yes i hope people still use this forum, as i have noticed a slow decliene allready. how about the webmaster or ourselves start the best looking, or worst looking pigeon, for a bit of fun? or any other thoughts that we can all be apart of?
jimmy white Posted September 30, 2005 Report Posted September 30, 2005 i think thats a good idea of snowy ,we could actually have a show on the forum, with the pigeons i mean[ if it were the members, ladbrookes would make me money on]of course we would have to wait on the birds moulting , but entries could allways be taken any body interested or any ideas, its allways a bit of fun and off course speckled wouldnt be allowed to put her chicken in [ ill suffer for that[ ;D ;D ;D
Guest speckled Posted September 30, 2005 Report Posted September 30, 2005 ;D Ya sure will jimmy. She will win hands down. . Nice to see ya,have ya form back,hows the stomach, still running are we.Good idea the shows. Speckled
Guest Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 Wouldn't be too quick on excluding the chickens, Jimmy. ;D Funniest, most interesting, 'best community' advert I ever saw was a short programme on TV on a Yorkshire Dales village 'Chicken race'. Whole village participates in the event, birds of all shapes, sizes and colours (absolutely beautiful) and matching owners ;D with a race track, finishing line, cup, rosettes, bookies, betting, the lot. But the stars were the chickens on the track. And the tricks used to try and get them to the finish line in less than a day. ;D ;D ;D
jimmy white Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 WE SEEM TO HAVE CHANGED THE THREAD THROUGH THESE POSTS, INTERESTING AS THEY ARE,,,,, BUT WE STARTED ABOUT WINTER ACTIVITIES, AND I REPLIED TO SNOWIES SUGGESTION, WHAT ABOUT A FORUM SHOW, A LIST OF PHOTOS FOR EACH CLASS, AND SOME ONE JUDGING THEM,,, ANYONE INTERESTED?
carl Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 Yes great idea about getting our birds up for all to see.What classes should we put up and shouldnt this be in the photos section.As for a judge couldnt the webmaster put up a voting system where we all vote for our best choices but not aloud to vote for your own.i have seen this on other forums.
Guest Doostalker Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 Great idea about the online show. It could be real serious stuff like, Best YB Best OB etc. We could have some fun classes like they have at agricultural shows eg owner and pigeon most alike (Jimmy White comparing nose/wattles to his oldest cock) Best looking pair (owner and pigeon) anything really. It would be good to keep the fun going over the winter. :D Hyacinth, from looking at your website, which is great by the way, it looks like you have lots of snow in winter. I take it that you spend a lot of your time shovelling it away!! ??) Here in Scotland we will probably spend most of our time growing webbed feet!! : :
showman Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 Like this idea of an on-line show. Carl's suggestion re-judging is worth taking a look at . Someone should start a new thread with this idea. Paul C.
PIGEON_MAN Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO TEACH ME HOW TO SEND IN GOOD PHOTO,S THOUGH JUST CAN,T SEEM TO GET THE HANG OF IT,CAN YOU TAKE GOOD ONE,S ON A MOBILE PHONE AND SEND IN SOMEHOW OR IS IT BEST TO GET ONE OF THOSE DIGITAL CAMERAS.I THINK THE QUALITY OF THE PHOTO,S ON HERE ARE FANTASTIC SO HOPEFULLY I SHALL SOON ABLE TO SEND SOME IN ALSO.CERTAINLY SOUNDS GREAT THE ON LINE SHOW.
Guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 I think an on line show is a fantastic idea for winter and I hope Webmaster can set some form of peer judging. I think we may have to wait a few weeks for our birds to get through the molt, but this is certainly something to look forward to.
Webmaster Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 Great idea Would anyone like to propose a show programme, OB,YB, etc.. I'm sure the judging wouldnt be a problem, either a popularity vote (forum poll) or an independent person? Its up to you
Guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 its a great idea id go with the poll voting personnally!
Guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 Go with the poll system here. Suggested Classes Young Cock Young Hen Old Racing Cock Old Racing Hen Stock Cock Stock Hen Golden Oldies (birds 10 years or older) Channel Birds Cocks and Hens
Peckedhen Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 I'd love to see everyones birds though I personnaly wouldn't be able to vote in a poll - I have no experience of birds. What about a class for novices, young handlers (or in my case old handlers) and what about the fancy pigeons or would it be just racing pigeons?
jimmy white Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 i would go along with hyacinth but add to it ,,the grand final best in show,,, but would i be able to enter in the golden oldies??? i think it would all be good fun , and keep things going a bit and if it were the owners like the pigeons, i would win that ,ive bigger wattles than the old stock cock in the loft,,,,,i wouldnt really say i have a big nose, but if you could have seen me flicking the hymn book over at church on sunday, you wouldnt have thought it possible, ha ha
THE FIFER Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 GREAT IDEA THE SHOW ALL FOR IT, WOULD KEAP THINGS INTRESTING DURING THE OFF SEASON ON THE FORUM THE FIFER.
Peckedhen Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 Is there any show around NE Lancashire other than Blackpool? I'd love to go and see some other birds and meet their owners.
Guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 Try the Rosemount Working Men's club in stacksteads, Bacup, they usually have shows throughout the winter
Guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 I was thinking, (I've often been warned about that) but we have several contributors including myself who have show Birds,(I have Chinese Owls and New York Domestic show Flights) I'm sure we can put something in for these.
Guest Doostalker Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Hyacinth, you are right. We shouldn't limit it only to racers. We should make this as wide as possible to promote all aspects of keeping pigeons. Someone will need to com eup with the classification for the fancy birds though.
pigeon Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 VERY GD IDEA AS I LIKE THE SHOWING BETTA THN RACING LOL IN THE LAST 4 YEARS I HAVENT BEEN OUT THE TOP 3 IN BEST SHOWING IN MY AREA SO LETS HAVE A SHOW ON HERE B GREAT ALL THE BEST MATTHEW
