dai pigeon Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 just got back from europa lofts and currently theres one pigeon recorded in on the night to the loft of anthony buttigieg at 2o.26 14 hours on wingDid europa clock any tonight? We had one that went today!
pjc Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 How can it be called a "Grand National" with 200 birds sent and 138 from 1 loft! A "one loft race" should be just that, seperate lib etc etc!
Tenny Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 Thers's no bird limit in nationals. Just the same as in my club last year when only one member sent and he had the nerve to include 1st club in a best performance breeder buyer! for his 1st arrival. At the end of the day the 1st bird home from the Thurso national is the best bird though never mind how many birds sent from that loft. Europa didnt win anyway. buttigieg I believe had only bird on the day! Why shouldnt the europa loft be allowed to enter ! At least it makes the national worth winning as less than 100 birds would have gone without them , and ofcourse they paid the entry fee. Are you suggesting there should be a limit. Always having a moan mind arent you so at least your giving others a rest when you moan about this eh. LOL

LOL No, sugesting a one loft race, should be what it says on the can!1 race, 1 loft, 1 lib, yes convoyed with somebody to reduce costs but other than that they should be on there own.To claim a "National win" there should be a minimum number of birds to give it the entitlement.
Guest waynemorris Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 I dont follow the North road scence a lot now but is the fancier who clocked the only bird on the day from this race the same one as clocked the only bird on the day from Crieff
Roland Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 Strange thoughts here eh ! All so very often we ALL hear, and rightly so I believe, where and when there is several different organisations / Feds Concerns etc. ALL liberating from the same point MNFC /NFS /BBIC BBC ETC. ETC where it would be more cost effective, and certainly make better sence for half or less of the transporter going!!! Yes would be in seperate racse - which I think possibly this was - or certainly will be. As far as I can relate this is a good step, indeed a great first and should be copied pronto via others. But I know as most will this will be out voted per usaul via members. Mainly because of their fear or 'Locations' and others having a step up! One club I'm in struggles to make ends meet regard sending and costs. Was sent each week and made money when another organisation took them. This club - which I
Roland Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 Of course didn't vote for. Costs the club money, members more and less prize money Let's face it Clubs, Feds, Almag, Combines all heve individual merits as to clubs, sections / Feds etc. etc. regardless hwere and when and with whom they are sent with. Should have had years ago 'Corridor Racing' where only a fraction of transporters were needed and a better location, meaning more merit was attainable, acheivable for ALL!
dai pigeon Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 yes mate anthony buttegiegh of newportVery Good pigeon no matter where he lives,Congratulations to him.
rasbull Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 Have the Europa Lofts clocked anything this morning? If so how many and who owns them?
Guest tom123 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 have heard anthony has timed in another just befor 09.00 this morning
Guest waynemorris Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 Are there any more birds home from this race. have been looking on the europa site for results but cant seem to find out about any pigeons they may have timed
DJH Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 Are there any more birds home from this race. have been looking on the europa site for results but cant seem to find out about any pigeons they may have timed Last time I spoke to Russell at Europa they had nothing back( back of 12.00 o'clock), he said they would put any arrivals straight onto the web site. Just checked the web site and as yet nothing updated so it's not looking good
Guest tom123 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 up until last night i believe there was four in a buttigieg x2one in barry and one in newport lance peterfrey that was accordeing to lance 2 hrs agoso only hear say
Tenny Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 Europa Classic got one home now! THE WINNING BIRD HAS ARRIVED IN THE EUROPA 500 AND IS WHU09N05719H CHEQ WHITE FLIGHT BELONGING TO GHS SYNDICATEMONDAY 18.59.07 WELSH GRAND NATIONAL PHONE VARIFICATION PROBABLE 3rd NATIONAL
rasbull Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 I believe this bird was entered into the Europa Classic last year being entered as CF3 Venturer. Had positions of 544th, 604th, 59th, 192nd, 574th in the hotspot races and finished 230th in the Final race from Hexham. This season been 113th and 76th in the hotspot races in the Europa 500. I also think it was only purchased by the GHS syndicate immediately prior to the Final race from Thurso! Nice £10,000 pick up in that case!
