cokacola Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Nope, I'v never been to the ferns club, or shown a pigeon lol
ChrisMaidment08 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 not to worry then i will see you in the oddfellows with gary as he is a member there gary told me you keep birds in rear of garage
cokacola Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Gosh, in all the times I'v been to the club since last year, all the races/meetings etc I'v never even heared a mention of someone called Gary, I must be loosing it or something :-/ ;D Tariq.
ChrisMaidment08 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 well tarig i would ask youer sec or chair man if someone knows you and claims to but dosent do you know who i am i have been in youer club often enough
cokacola Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Nope, Its only a small club, I would notice a new face easily but I havn't seen anyone new at all ever really, except one guy last week who was bringing birds down on behalf of a club member as he was at a wedding, but doesn't fly in our club although he mentioned wanting to fly young birds next year - didn't say what his name was though? There is a Chris in our club now, who raced his first young bird race this weekend gone, I'm not sure of his surname, but he's a new guy and wouldn't need me to give his best to Tony and Bob as he sees them often enough, I'm guessing that's not you? lol Tariq.
ChrisMaidment08 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 well thats not me im the one tony gibbons bows to when im there

Guest scoobybob Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 When you are sorted let me know what sort of birds you are after. Or I could load a basket with 10-20 birds and deliver what you want keep what you don't release...No charge by the way..
