Guest Cawdy Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 when was the last time the national went to Rennes?
alec guinness Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 when was the last time the national went to Rennes? the end of the 90s m8.
Guest Cawdy Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 might be listening to to many old stories but rennes seemed to have a bit more prestige than anything thats about now ?
JADE Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 It did have more prestige and since they had to drop Rennes they have changed the race point more often than some folk change their drawers

Guest bigda Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 Hi Alex should i start a war and get the percys gunned down . think thats the only way to get any on side to support us . in the event of another war and all satellites are down, that is the angle we should be driving home to this government that there would be no other method of communication they had a taste of it a few months ago when o2 when down for 2hours and we should make the effort and get the funds to help the hero's and that included the hero's in the pigeons, there aint a person in this land that can knock us back should we go to court for protection

Roland Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 J. Reid eh. Have a mate - kind of - in Canada same name. indeed used to fly here back in Scotland. Indeed Gareths Rankins dad went to stay for a visit about 3 years or so back. I wonder Gareth if it's the same person, or related Gareth?

Roland Posted January 12, 2013 Report Posted January 12, 2013 The Reid of Stenhousemuir on the result,Roland, died in 1988 if memory serves me well Thanks. The John I know has been ill of late. He is a bit of a writer (writes the odd letter to the BHW)and I know he apparently flew a good bird back home. Just average in Canada.
ALF Posted January 12, 2013 Report Posted January 12, 2013 Reid bros of Hamilton 104th open and they were still racing until 2005-6
