bullcock Posted November 28, 2015 Report Posted November 28, 2015 I don't get any, but David gets the BHW, which I glance about once a month.
peter pandy Posted November 28, 2015 Report Posted November 28, 2015 R.P. & B.H.W and have done for over 50 years. It is a shame their are not more Scottish scribes but we dont like to blow our own trumpet and those in the past were ridiculed in private and gave up. I also believe it was a case of "A Write Up" will cost you a pair of youngsters scenario whether it was true or not. I have to admit I enjoy reading other fanciers feeding and management methods but dont read their results as I find it boring likewise all the club results on here. I suppose in summing up its just habit.

peter pandy Posted November 28, 2015 Report Posted November 28, 2015 You dinny pay any attention to results but read write ups??? Come on Peter yer having a laughSteve, When you see somebody getting a write up and half of it containes results I just stop reading when the results start. I know he has results thats why they get a write up. I like to know WHY not the conclusion.

Kyleakin Lofts Posted November 28, 2015 Report Posted November 28, 2015 I got them for about 2 years, then decided to stop them. They were mostly adverts, especially at this time of year, and if I had a top breeder it certainly would not be sold, so I don't believe the adverts. I enjoyed some of the writers and articles, but some are available elsewhere online, so they are the ones I now read. I still get Squills Year Book though.

Eventually he gave up as there was often a delay of 4 weeks between submission and publication. Occasionally the articles were never published.It's unfortunate we don't have the numbers to publish our own weekly.Perhaps weekly federation reports during racing on a website such as this might serve to give fanciers and pigeons the recognition they deserve.I don't mean a list of results I mean background information.
alex young Posted November 29, 2015 Report Posted November 29, 2015 Just the BHW now, packed the RP in years ago.

andy Burgess Posted November 29, 2015 Report Posted November 29, 2015 Good idea RobertI will endeavour to give a write up on my club winners this coming season for a bit of interestHoping others follow i like the sound of that Mick .
