dal2 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Danny Boy was 2nd and 5th but struggling wae a 3rd and 4th!!!!
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Posted January 26, 2012 Thought about a way of making this quiz format a bit better if yous wnated it to become a bit more of a regular thing. Could maybe put questions up on a Wednesday all answers to be PM'd to an independant adjudicator by Thursday midnight. If enough members are interested yous could sort yourselves out into teams and converse via PM. If we do it up until the racing starts could maybe have a wee quiz league table etc. Its only an idea,hopefully give some folk a bit of interest until the days get longer again and we start spending the nights out at the dookit.
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Posted January 26, 2012 Danny Boy was 2nd and 5th but struggling wae a 3rd and 4th!!!! I asked Derek Norden about Danny Boy at the AGM actually as I thought it was down through his old family,he told me it was down through Leen Boers pigeons-it was some doo either way . A wee clue about 4th and 3rd,it was a hen.It was 580miles from Rennes to its loft and it was on the night both times.
