Wullie start 2 wks later and race through the Glasgow Fair .East winds are one thing but theses cold fronts will put your team off for the season.

This time last year we had full cover from the trees but there is no leaves yet lol

 

Need to get the youngsters out too but don't want to incase it starts snowing expletive remove

[peter pandy]

Old birds out every day whether its snowing or not and flying 3-4 hours out of 6. However they wont see the inside of a basket until the temperature reaches 14 Centigrade.

[lanarkshire lad]

So whats new its the same every year but nothing gets done about it IMO the first week in may is early enough????.The climate in these parts has changed for the worst and is here to stay for the next hundred years lol. Scrap these silly comeback races and start a few weeks later.

the furkin daffodils are still not out here m8 looks almost like they have given up and stopped growing :emoticon-0138-thinking:

[kirky]

has given same weather for upto the second week in april at least, so i dont think many will start before may at this rate.

Pigeon fanciers are *expletive removed* mental, we must do this, we must do that????? just because its what we always did !!! Things change and we dont move with it.

well put it back 2 or 3 weeks ? if it does not warm up i would think av might do that jmo

[hotrod]

The only prob for some/ most on here is the national dates are set so if you don't start .or delay the start for 2/3 weeks then the birds are not out far enough to tackle the nationals when they come around , is it not about time the nationals set there dates with the provision that if the weather is far too bad and most Feds delay the start of their season ,the nationals can't put their races back even a week or so to help out , if they don't the birdage will be badly affected any thoughts ?

our weather has been better late aug sept and into october stut , was just looking at some holiday pics in ireland on the north coast 18 april 2008 and the sun was splitting the skys but you could hardly go out for the cold strong nor east winds which would cut you in 2 , seems to have remained the same last 4 or 5 yrs now but getting worse at this time :emoticon-0138-thinking: not sure how we can sort it .

AV are a forward thinking fed, the likes of Lanarkshire fed can do the same now, with owning their own transports.

[Guest homestead]

just received a text racing put back from 06 April to 13th April but wont make any difference the birds still not trained, 1st week in May would be better

[Guest lambrechts31]

Surely its up to the individual fancier, if a race comes up and the birds are not ready just dont send them, is that maybe why the some birds are lost( birds not fit or trained properly ) to me there,s to many sheep in this sport, oh big shug is sending 6 so will i if you miss a couple of races so *WHAT* at least my birds are safe in the loft jmo

[yeboah]

It has snowed on and off here every day this week with no let up forecast the high hills are pure white got to agree with you all racing should be organised to suit the welfare of the doos as stated yes the seasons are changing for the worse surely common sense should prevail but will it not a hope in hell just because our great ancestors did it this way ,thank christ my youngsters are just hatching out would have hated to be educating them in these conditions ,Good luck to all when summer arrives .
