alex wight Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 I,ve learned from the Eastbourne result, that i made 250th open, 94th region, 32nd fed(est),14th west fife section(est)and 4th club. I am absolutely delighted to have achieved my very first diploma since i started racing pigeons. HOWEVER......i sent eleven and only got one home. I am saddened to be only left with 3 old birds from this season, especially as i,m trying to build up a team. Hindsight would say that i maybe should have stopped some here and there to give me numbers for next year. But i set out my stall and now paying for it. Lesson learned. I,m still smiling though having achieved my first diploma, and the building continues. well done to all who made the result.
