GREENGRASS Posted August 11, 2005 Report Posted August 11, 2005 HOW MANY BIRDS COMPETING THIS YEAR YORKIE.
Guest Posted August 12, 2005 Report Posted August 12, 2005 Can someone send me details of this race, do they accept foreign entries, I would love to try my anssens over the pond next year.
jimmy white Posted August 18, 2005 Report Posted August 18, 2005 dearest wicked witch what a way to start a message haha any way linda why not get in touch with the s, h, u,231a low waters rd hamilton ml3. 7qn . phone 01698286983 im reading this of an old rule book so i surmize it is the same, im quite sure they would give you all the details of the one loft race, best of luck jimmy
Guest shadow Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Another thing to consider woud be the transportation cost,(£340) air fare the last time I enquired you would also need a handling agent in the UK as the birds would have to go into Quarantine (6 weeks) then transport to SHU loft. Which would make a very expensive race for you, The best way to do it if your birds were accepted woud be to form a syndicate to cover the costs. Good luck
mealybar Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Hyacinth if you sent a pair or two over to a fancier in the UK, then they can breed out of them the birds for the various one loft races. This way your only paying quarenteen, etc. once.
Guest Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Not a bad idea at all Richard, will have to talk with our export guy Don Hart and see what the cost would be, also have to speak to Jimmy White about taking the birds, well some more birds for him to care for would keep him out of trouble <VBG>
jimmy white Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 hi linda, i should imagine by this time youll be in denver hooping it up.?? youve certainly done well in all the races, so the best of luck in todays futiroty race, nip over and let me know the result. jimmy
Guest Doostalker Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 Can someone send me details of this race, do they accept foreign entries, I would love to try my anssens over the pond next year. Hyacinth, I spoke with Stan Bonnington the loft manager for Scotland's One Loft Race, and told him about your interest. I will be meeting with him in a week or so and will tell you if, and how, you can get an overseas entry in. I see that the auction is going to take place on Monday 5th September in Newmains club. Some great pigeons have been sold at this sale, W Kinnear's "Auld Reekie" being perhaps the most notable.
Guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 Thanks very much Doo Look forward to hearing from you
Guest Doostalker Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 By the way, so that everyone knows, the name of the race is Scotland's One Loft Race. Anyone wanting details for next year can let me know and I will get them sent out. God Luck if you enter!
speedbird Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 where is this race from what is the shu loft? how does it work?
Guest shadow Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 you breed a pigeon then when it's weaned you enter it for the race. then you send it to the loft with its transfer and there it stays.It is then trained with all the other entries then they have small races leading up to the final race. After the final race the birds are auctioned. Hope I have got this right without going into a long letter.
speedbird Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 right got ya how much is it to enter? & reading other post there over 166 birds must have a big loft & who gets the prize you mentioned an auction where does the funds go for that?
Guest Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 Should people connected to the running of the Scottish One Loft race be allowed to take part and try for the £20.000 first prize.
Guest shadow Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 right got ya how much is it to enter? & reading other post there over 166 birds must have a big loft & who gets the prize you mentioned an auction where does the funds go for that? I don't know the exact entry fee as I have never entered a pigeon normally it is about £ioo per bird entry fee. The winner takes the biggest prize and then the amont drops down to about 30 places, not sure where the auction money goes. I think some of it may be used for runng expenses. If you get any pigeon weeklys have a look in them at times all the details for each of the races are printed in them At the moment there is one in scotland two in southern england and one in south Africa :)fly hard fly fair. ps If I have got this wrong some one will be able to put it right.
