fid Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Posted September 13, 2013 Looking forward to seeing you Gareth, I see your syndicate still has a couple going and hopfully still have them there for the final race.Iwill be cheering on the british doos tomorrow and looking out for your own and the only other Scot i know who has birds there Ian Grey.
Guest Gareth Rankin Posted September 13, 2013 Report Posted September 13, 2013 It's only the second year that this one loft race has taken place, and from what I have seen so far, it has to be the best one, the doos get a fair crack at it and the fanciers are supplied with plenty of info. Was 4TH British doo last year and 74th in the race last year so it would be great to improve on this.

fid Posted September 29, 2013 Author Report Posted September 29, 2013 Flipin heck!!!!first the silver race held over because of the weather and now the Gold race postponed because of same. The birds are being brought back and race will prob be nxt week as weather looks to be bad for nxt couple of days. Ifeel sorry for the many people who have traveled from all over europe and some from further afield because most will be going home before the race can be held.We are having freak weather just now with heavy rain low cloud and mist.

I think they made the right decision to bring them back given the weather conditions. Lets hope all the British birds have a good race today.
