It is first time I have spoke to him mate and will not lie I was a bit nervous to speak to him but he is such a nice guy , I have bought a few from mark and this one I have coming he was glad to advise me on a new cross that go really well with the southfield supreme birds I have .

And think he was indeed 123 open .

As Eddie Newcombe proved when Snfc put 12 bird limit he still won and lifted a load of cash .

Mark has sent 100 birds and won with his pooler and got slated so he sends 1 and wins national and still gets slated .

Who decide,s how many you send to a race , you , who decides how many the macs send , the macs , we all have the choice but if you think someone wins 3 international races by being a mob flyer that is what is wrong in our hobby , jealous . Jmo

Am not jealous don't compete against him just stating a fact,would rather have birds from the fancier that done well only sending a few against his 100 in a location further north,good luck to him,and can't recall the last time the Macs sent 100 and can't recall the macs winning 500 mile races so no comparison can be drawn

Not a comment aimed at you personally and never said the macs sent 100 it was a comparison of choice and the macs have very good record at 500 ml winning one nat and 2 gold awards , but just making a point ! You still have to condition the birds to win the races .

[geordie1234]

I don't buy into this numbers malarky...hes a national flyer who goes tothe bicc bbc nfc and internationals for years he has send the lot to the first or second national to get the fit.... as eastcoaster says he has sent one and won the national

[Darnaway]

Well done Mark Gilbert

We have never kept 100 old birds, let alone sent 100 to a race.

our average entry from 2000-2015 is 29 birds

as for 500 mile races

How many "Distance fanciers" in our area have 4 x 1st West Sections, 1st National, 3 x 1st open 450-514 miles. ?

in the 70,s, 80's 90's 00's 10's

 

Well Done Mark Gilbert , great achievement once again. its a sad day when people cant just say well done , without trying to take the shine off his performances. wether it be 10 or 100 the birds still need to be in better condition than the rest to win.. after all that's what its all about.

Top class flyer man knows his birds well done MARK GILBERT

[Novice]

I think I may have read something from CAthrine Cooper at the weekend saying they had bred Marks first 3 birds.

I could be wrong but that was the conclusion I drew from her post.

[David Armour]

Well done good luck at the internationals

Mark said on video the first 2 were grand children of southfield supreme .

Mark said on video the first 2 were grand children of southfield supreme .

I just checked her Facebook post there.

 

She says "we were 5th National with Mark Gilbert in the centre taking the first 3. All 3 were bred in the stock loft so that proves we have it right there."

She doesn't say whose stock loft but infers it is Coopers. Maybe they share a stock loft I don't know. It's a bit ambiguous.
