JAS Posted September 10, 2006 Author Report Posted September 10, 2006 Any word on the Europa Classic Race today.
GROVEHOMER Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 Not heard a thing, nothing on their web site, I dont even know what time they went up.
V1JSL Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 i was informed that the Birds where up at 0730 this morning in clear blue sky. they cleared in the correct direction immediatly and where expected to hit a head wind further down. I spoke to my mate who has birds in the race half an hour ago and he has heard nothing. He spoke to derek nicols at 1800 and nothing was at the loft. derek said he would call him if birds started to arrive. i have not heard from my mate since. Andy one of the forum members might have some info as his freind is at the race.
Roundo Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 At 7.20pm there was only six pigeons home. Here are a couple of pictures of this mornings liberation. It was brilliant to see, it's just a real shame that more birds hadn't made it home today. Roundo.
andy Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 ONLY 13 PIGEONS HOME AT 2000 HOURS. NO SCOTTISH BIRDS YET. MY CONTACT AT THE RACE SAYS THE WINNER WAS BOUGHT TODAY FOR £100, HE THINKS BY THE BAR STAFF!
Roundo Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 You're right Andy, I believe it came from the Natural Breeding Station. What a good days work that's been for him...........great stuff.

Guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 Earlier in the thread someone suggested that Europa has now had two smashes in a row. Just to clarify ... last year's £30000prize race was very good with 457 day pigeons ... it was the subsequent Marathon race that was a complete and utter smash.
PIGEON_MAN Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 THINK YOU WILL FIND IT WAS THE MARATHON RACE PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT.
gangster Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 im sorry for my post my so called mate miss informed me the guy who won had nothing to do with derek or his daughter, also 2nd bird was not mr parkinson but infact mr bolton.. congratulations to the winners....mick
eastcoaster Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 SO who did win it ? not a lot of info coming out on the web site ?? :-/
Guest Gareth Rankin Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 if you look in the reports tab you will find a update which was done today.
eastcoaster Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 if you look in the reports tab you will find a update which was done today. CHEERS for that .
pender Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 The race coverage has been nothing short of a disgrace with the amounts of money involved it should have been lot better than this. Now i for one are not trying to say there is any funny stuff going on but wen money of this nature is involved then it has got to be seen as all above board and were they can be no talking points, and this race has not got that,
