Losses

[Ian McKay]

I THINK THEY ARE PUTTING MONEY BEFORE THE BIRDS.

 

 

You got it in one Tooshy and seem keen to blame everyone else :emoticon-0138-thinking:

think you got that wrong hes not being sarcy at you hes being sarcy at the ones who said a little nor east wind .

 

The biggest problem with the feds that went latter in the day ie 11 am onwards was the north east wind whipped up to about 25 mph and got much colder , there was not much wind from 8 untill 11 am and the temp was about 9 degrees when the wind whipped up it was showing only 4 and 5 degrees latter on

STB was spot on with his post above with what I was meaning

it is not a case of blaming everybody,I am blaming the person responsible and that is the president who over ruled the race controllers and told them we were having a race,another point you made was we know about weather before we send,yes we knew the weather was not great but we expect the controllers to do it right and do what is best for the birds,unfortunately that never happened in our case because they were told by president to get a race also one of the controllers said he did not want to be in control for that for reasons mentioned but he was told it was his job and he was doing it,sometimes Ian you do not have all the facts as we do for this race

[Ian McKay]

Not a case of having all the facts Tam just a case of reading what's put up

 

The job is vacant at every AGM

 

I remember you liberated Lanarkshire and got a bad one??

 

You have not said about some of the other evidence gather's mentioned

 

If it's as bad as you are stating surly there will be an investigation or should be

Sorry Tam I thought you did it once

[Guest TAMMY_1]

Sorry Tam I thought you did it once

one year Ian I took the job of being Jim Hannahs asisstant and for that year we never had a bad race because JIM is the most cautious and most competant controller I have ever known

Hi Gareth there will be alot of birds injured aswell as on sat the birds that over shot and went to far west were working back but were skimming over houses and fences to get as much shelter as poss flying very low back towards the east . Also a lot of pigeons being sent are not fitt and up to the mark to go anyway . some seem to throw loads in and cross there fingers .

 

very good reply stb

Thats alarming as it will also effect the Clubs Results within the Fed.

[peacock]

Rhonda valley fed brought birds back to club HQ on Saurday as weather was to bad

I can tell you the guys around me in craigneuk have had 2 great races and going by the remarks at Newmains club they are Very happy with the racing and returns.

Yesterday i had 15 yearlings who had NEVER seen a basket until Friday night and every one of them is in my loft tonight, hardly disastrous races or losses Frank. I have dropped birds racing but have lost more flagging at home than in the races

 

John do you mean that these yearlings have never seen a basket or a race basket.
