YBS has stopped play here so no racing for me this week.

[frank mitch]

Was hoping to send 45 youngsters to Kelso with the Fife Fed but dont think we will get a race due to the bad weather forecast, lots and lots rain! Oh well, always next week!

Same here Frank I was sending a few this week but will wait and see the forecast in the morning first and if I think it's too dodgy they will stay in the loft again this week

[geordie1234]

Well I have filled out a pool sheet for 22 will check forecast in the morning though

[sapper756]

The problem with holding youngsters back from a race due to possible bad weather, is you are relying on the weather for the following week being better, and if it is not, then you are increasing the mileage the birds may have to be jumped, if like our federation, each race increases in mileage to be covered, with no come back races, this needs to be consideredhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gifJMO

Im thinking exactly the same, im taking no chances with youngsters with a bad weather forecast for both saturday and sunday, ive lost enough birds this year, in the hut they will stay!

I agree with you Brian, but the weather this weekend looks really bad with lots rain forecast, if the Fife Fed do go tomorrow my birds wont be there, id rather jump them into 2nd or even 3rd race, weather permitting, than send to first with a bad forecast. Ive found out in the past that even young birds dont mind the jump as long as they are well trained. JMO.

glasgow fed are at dunbar, if they go before 10 they will be fine...
