Hi Bruno,

             What i would give to have a 1,000 miler in the loft,conqueror your right,alongside lionheart,endurance,tam`s delight,no wonder jim biss won Palomas,in the bicc Internationals,lucky bugger breeding off that lot.

 Clockman,

                 What a proud man you must be,could you tell us what they were like in the hand,temprement,and how you managed them? to get them to fly1,000 miles?

 I know at 1 time the jocks had a proud record of 1,000 milers.i think 1 Irish loft as well

 Does any of you boys still fly 1 ,000 miles..is that in the BBC from Palomas?

Hi Hyacinth,

                Don`t you know who d.palett flew against?

                Don`t you know about the UNC?,do your homework,get the maps out,find out the radius,ask a few fanciers here who know what they are talking about ....There`s only 3 National Clubs worthy to be called that in England...NFC....BBC...BICC....ALL other so called Nationals have radius to keep many fanciers out...

    That`s the TRUTH,but many sellers try to say(con you) different..but Hyacinth,keep this imformation in mind,and you will not go far wrong.

   The thing is,you do not have Nationals over there,but its the only true racing,because EVERYBODY can enter,and as the distance goes out passed 500/600 miles it evens things out.

Getting back to the problem at Holytown....

 

Is the AGM still to come? If it is, hopefully all club members have a cooling-off period to think carefully about the future. "Its not over till its over".

 

Are you sure  about the club assets remaining with the club? I would advise the remaining club members to double-check everything,  and be doubly sure of your position and your grounds... especially on how to successfully oppose any move to disband the club.

[Guest]

Ben,  The people who flew againt Dean Pallet whoever they were certainly knew they were up against an excellent flyer with excellent bird or the would have never boundried him out

 

As for your remarks regarding the Mighty Up North Combine I will treat your remarks with the contempt they deserve.

 

I also judge from your remarks that you view such specialist Clubs as The Midlands NFC, the North West Classic Club etc etc not worthy of being called clubs at all

 

I see you did not comment on my remarks regarding the sexism within the National flying Club ???????????????????

 

Indeed we don't have Nationals in the USA being as The states are slightly bigger than the UK infact the state of Oregon is bigger in area than England. What we do have is One Loft Futurity and Multi Loft futurity races where our birds are pitted against the best from the USA and entrants from overseas, that is what I call  fair form of racing pigeons.  I am well aware of the Geography of the United Kingdom as I lived there for 50 odd years before moving over the pond, I am also well aware that most of the Winners of National FC live near or on the south Coast, so of course they  fly a different pigeon to the guys up North and in many cases have far less open water to cross.  We had a couple of good uns in Lancashire though, Mick Spencer and Colin Fisher.

 

BTW Since I moved to The states I have won

Little all American Loft YB 200

IF Champion (National) young bird Loft 2001

AU and Washington State Hall of Fame YB 2001

4th and 6th place IF Champion young Bird Loft 2002

3rd Place If (National award) combined old and young results.

Only Day bird in world trade Centre Memorial Race 2003 flying 360 miles and winning $53,0000

2002/2003 Champion young Bird Evergreen state Concourse out of 2000 birds, in 2002 I took 6 of the first 10 places

AU Breeders Cup 2003/3004) allowing me to use the Title Master Breeder

 

In 2003 my loft was awarded 2 gold Medals in China for the Best USA and foreign entry out of approx 10,000 birds, entered in futurity races

 

so I do know what I'm talking about and I don't sit in my arm chair I work dammed hard with the birds.

 

 

[Guest WINGS 04]

well said hyacinth as you will see ben has still to say what he has done in his time is pigeon racing as he is just a stirrer

[Guest]

wings

there a lot top flyers on this forum that  do like to put up there win's ben could be one of them you say stirrer down south this is some time called banter i do not agree with al his posts but it pulls in the punters                                                by the way hyacinth when are you going to start racing old birds

[Guest]

Heathcot

 

There is a very simple explanation why I don't race old, bird, the only thing him and I argued about when I arrived in the States was the birds, I didn't like they way he flew old birds, widowhood and he thought my method of training young birds, by using a flag was awful.  So we decided to split the racing, him the Old and me the Young. The Old Bird Loft is marked His and The Young Hers

 

Having said that Steve drives the training truck 4 days a week and it is I who waits by the loft to call the old birds in, they do trap well though cause I trained them when they were babies <VBG.

 

Cheers

[Guest]

Rose,

 

I would hate to see a flying club solely for women I consider myself a flyer just like the others of the opposite sex.

 

Anywy, I would look daft in a monkey suit
