retired Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Well done John - read something by Eamon Watson earlier who is a good show manm his bird had won about 12 classes inc being carded but didnt get a thing at the online show this week. Back in around 1998/99 i used to enjoy the shows and always used to take a chocolate Meueleman cock to the shows, but also a dark buscharrt of Geoff Clares - Every single show they were entered one of them won (Normally Geoff's though), Geoffs sold for big money at his Blackpool sale, the choco's eye was enough to save it as i couldnt get the young to a single race let alone in the clock.

(that's my opinion). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retired Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 14 days i think, but even with 4 weeks it would be cleared before Blackpool with it being that week later this year. I just sent this by PM for some reason! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Yes and true 500 mile pigeons in the class so very good Brian i'm surprised how easy it is to enter the flown classes, Do they check on the winners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.massey Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Have no idea. Never been lucky enough to have 500 mile bird. Got plenty 500 yarders tho ;) As I have said before I also think its too easy. Would think a show like blackpool would track down fed sec to find out but not sure if they do. I had a good show in 2001 and got 5 tickets from 6 flown birds but they never got checked up. Although 4th was best prize!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b.massey Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I understand all you do is show your flown certificate to the Chief Steward Yes thats all I have done in past. The steward confirms birds ring num with flown certificate and then you put bird into pen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
