Kyleakin Lofts Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Around 50% returns all round from what I've heard, but time for the others to return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibendium Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Returns at clocks were erratic to say the least, two members never timed, some had 3/15, 1/4, 10/25 etc etc. and this at 135/ 140 miles. Dont know what went wrong today. I fully support the decision to race today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moscow master Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Half the convoy not home from 130 odd miles I'll never race on a Friday again if we're the only fed in the sky as the birds that came today were scared shitless bad idea imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter pandy Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 It has reached the stage where we cannot train ourselves without taking a hit and I for one am getting a tad peed off that I cannot make legal amends to safeguard my property. Their must be a get out as "T" in the park have secured their concert without prosecution for disturbing a protected species from nesting in the vicinity regardless of complaints from RSPB and Scottish Heritage. We should have had a concerted effort during spring before racing commenced by all fanciers to stop the slaughter. :emoticon-0126-nerd: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastcoaster Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Afraid I agree I don't think I can carry on for much longer it's getting to the cruel stage ,the rspb will stop us racing because it's cruel to send birds to race and get ripped apart by bop.makes no sense to me .If i,m honest I'm getting scared to send certain birds to the races in case they get taken.
