tango_kid Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 Here's one that will get you thinking: How much would it cost to enjoy one year of competative pigeon racing? So basic prices of loft, feed, pigeons, health care and all other such expenses (club joining ect). This is assuming that nobody gives you ANYTHING for free. Also, how would you go about it... old birds/young birds/both, widowhood/natural system ect ect ect. Waiting in much antisipation, Mike
Guest HighSpeedLofts Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 it can be as cheap or as expensive as you want the only set price would be your fees to join the club and stay in it
blackdog Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 dont think anyone could put a price on that tango kid, but i bet it would be a shock mate.
Fair Play Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 You wouldn't want the wife to find out ;D :X

retired Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 I have got so far Club membership Fees = £200 Corn = £600 Medication/ products = £150 Entry fees Old birds - Based on 18 birds per week = £201.80 (80p per bird) not including National racing Entry fees Young birds based on 30 birds per week = £168 (80p per bird) not including National racing YB rings = £10.50 Training = £400 Total annual figures estimated = £1332.30 One of purchases Clock - T3 (ebay) = £100 Loft = £600 Fittings = £150 (Self built) Drinkers/pots etc - £40 Grand total = £2222.30 Obviously just estimates as sure they cost alot more than that.
retired Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 80p a bird are you sure? Yes thats what we pay in our club
retired Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 15p in our club lol I think it prob would have been in ours but a large portion of that 80p goes to the fed (Very resentfully on my part)
wilsric Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 By God, as somebody not racing yet, just in the process of setting up a small loft (converting a shed on the cheap), and looking forward to the good nature of his club sorting him out with birds, these numbers are pretty bloody scary. We don't have much (if any) in terms of spare money and if this is what I'll have to pay out I won't be in the sport for long.
Guest HighSpeedLofts Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 ;D32p in our club but my partner pays that so its not a problem
