Well It's gonna be the first race for ours this week. We bred 33 bought 2. 4 chucks 12ml 18ml 25ml then 18ml tonight. Still got 33 then into Taunton 122mls. Sounds good don't it. It aint so long ago when we couldn't get 'em from the end of the street. This year we've dropped our best bird to date  21st sec Tarbes 13th sec Perth. Rome wasn't built in a day.....................

was going to send all my young ens today, but saved a few, its a bit like the lottery the more pigeons you send, the more chance you have of winning, dont you think.

thats an interesting point you put forward westy,saying that racing is like a lottery the more you send the more chance you have of winning.It is and it isnt really,in probability the mob flyers have more chance of winning but it only takes 1 to beat em.I remember 2 seasons ago when i sent 1 pigeon to a ripon amalgamation,while other members in my club were averaging twenty or so birds,i only sent the one cos we had a wipe out of at berwick were we put all our eggs in one basket.Althought i didnt win the club i ended up being second beaten by .6 of a decimal but everyone said that was the preformance of the year.I dont think its numbers i think its if the pigeons are right on the day they will beat how many pigeons your other memebers send,but its jus getting them right

i put that message on under westys name, as this is what he said to me the other day, since having words & letting him understand that he shouldnt say this,  he has changed his point of view, instead of listening to a local 17 yr old who wants him to lose all his good birds by throwing them all into a race & hoping for the best!

so i apologise to westy for using his name while he was logged on, but just wanted him to understand that he shouldnt always listen to club members,  & to this resulting in losing 9 birds today.

me & my son westy are now going for a shandy down the pigeon club. ;D

THESE BIRDS CAN STILL TURN UP WESTY, THATS THE PROPER DOWNS OF PIGEON RACING IVE SEEN YBS TURN UP THE NEXT DAY AND FINISH UP CHAMPIONS, SO STICK IN THERE WESTY ,,ALL IS NOT LOST YET,, GOOD LUCK AND HOPE YOU GET MORE BIRDS BACK

cheers jim & all of you for the advice,

much appreciated.

only 4 missing from last race (the frome come back race 100 miles)

we sent some first timers, but ours was the only club to liberate as the weather was terrible & most members lost more than us, rain & the wind.

all club members were disapointed.

thanks again
