supersonic steptoe Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 this race started as an idea to give 1 loft entrants a race thats cheap enough to enter but enough money to make it worthwhile, with limited space only 36 ft x 9 ft loft this was difficult being limited to 120 birds (i would suggest these birds have more room than most one loft birds)however i think we have acheived this .regarding reported birds of course im responsible for them if they are in my name and i would have to send for them if reported . wat to do next now all funds are either taken in prize money or management costs surely you can understand we must now claim repatriation costs to reenter bird for races?

supersonic steptoe Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 its a crazy world you try and put somthing into the sport and that is the comments you recieve ,this race is only happening this year because of change in circumstances ,i race in partnership with my dad our race birds are at his house which is in same street as mine, about 3 months ago my dad was going to move so i put up a new loft at my house ready to move our race birds .since then my dad has changed his mind about moving so new loft wont be used .

Guest slugmonkey Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I am still interested I have spent a lot more on a lot less !!!

supersonic steptoe Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 hello slugmonkey i have no idea how u would get your birds here mate , is the prize money worthwhile for you to go to the trouble of shipping and extra costs?obviously we would love to have u send but is it costworthy for u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjc Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 You say above that you ralise now you will have to arrange return of any birds and then claim cost from the breeder. What will you do if the breeder refuses to pay the carriage fee etc? I would love to run a one loft race, I wouldn't need to do any breeding, keep any stock birds, feed and clean all winter etc. Then in the spring sudenly have a loft full of lovely squeakers to train and race then get rid of them before winter comes again. If I did i wouldn't want 40% of the sale price, yes something to cover feed etc but that would be all, why, well if they were my own birds i'd be paying for the food, fuel, medication, entry fees etc out of my pocket and fairly sure there would be little or no profit at the end of the season! I would just get great pleasure out of seeing the birds win and perform! Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic steptoe Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 the bird in question would not be sent to races unless paid for. regarding the rest of comments i will still be racing my own birds this would be extra on top of breeding training keeping in winter etc . so you think you would do all this 4 nowt i dont think so? most people have commented on how little i will be taking not believing it ,you are now saying i expect too much ,can see im not going to win this one . maybe this is just too good to be true but if you all miss this oportunity it will be your loss not mine . regards neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geraint Parry Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I think it was taken off due to conflict in interests, ie they run their own 1-loft race and are scared of people not splashing thier cash with them instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic steptoe Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 because they already have a 1 loft race anybody interested could they plz pm me or paulrstokes thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
