500 mile yearling Challenge poll

tryer · February 11, 2009

on a recent post i mentioned starting at 475 after thinking about it , the starting point 500 and over sounds alot better got more appeal and so much going for it . going under 500 just dosent do it for me anymore . geting 500 should be the aim of most fanciers imo . some of us can race from 100m but can we all race from 500 plus and get them on the day now thats a feat and one i hope to do in the future . yes the 500 club for me .

Are some of you missing the point. Old Yellow has come up with an option that suits evryone that has expressed an interest. How can it be watered down. It is only watered down if you are entering for the money. This is for FUN with a reasonable prize at the end of it.

For those wanting 500+ there are 23 voters - People were willing to sign up for that when there were only 6 interested.

Good luck with this old yellow - With all the grief you have had, I would have said sod it long ago.

Count me in for the 500+ (Bergerac - 507 miles - with the MNFC). I will send a Ko Nipius cock and I might try a Jansen Hen. I dont want to lose them but it will help me prove the breeding. (Thats providing that I still have them come that date).

My two pennies worth is that I would prefer to leave verifaction of the ring number etc as late as possible at least until after our first channel race ( Mine havent been over the water yet) In any case, does it really matter if it is later - you may find that you get more entries.

Whatever you decide you have my support.
