Hats off to the guys in Ireland North and South who kept Jim in the loop about local liberations and NIPA who liberated 10,000 pigeons 100 miles south of us.

Is nobody Ln here going? We are sending three hopefuls, they are going for a mid day lib tomorrow due to the Saturday forecast.

Good luck to all that send.

how did you get on today,

[bullcock]

how did you get on today,

Not a feather here, very disappointed, the birds were spot on, they should have been doing about 50 - 55mph, but when time went on we knew it wasn't happening, they must have went the wrong way, not good enough on the day.

It was a big ask for them to change direction face the water do the distance and in a very small convoy. Well done to everyone who took it on.

[bullcock]

Yes, the National next, gulp, this fills us with confidence, lol.

I don't know what went wrong today, no pigeon in that convoy was fitter or more schooled than mine, back to the drawing board.

P.S. We have enjoyed the whole experience and well doen to all who timed and to all the people involved with making it happen.

[tyson]

how many have been timed or is it a secret

[abbeypap]

No one's keeping count of pigeons timed. We'll know at clocks tomorrow

[tyson]

it would have been intersting to know how race was turning out

[JonesyBhoy]

Rename it the 'Masonic Open'

 

Big secrets today...

 

Was very excited to follow the race today..

 

Waste of time.

[abbeypap]

From calls I've had folk were timing from just after 2.15pm. Not everyone has time to go on the Internet to post their times. Ours is on wscc.online live results. Don't think it's been a waste of time for those involved.

[JonesyBhoy]

Not saying it's a waste of time for people involved.

 

But for outsiders looking in, not much interest or excitement being created.

 

Surely it should be a 'big deal' today to switch people on to becoming involved in future events. Been quite the opposite IMO

Maybe we just weren't aware of the interest. With time over the winter to plan maybe we'll get it better in terms of keeping others interested next year :-) live and learn

[moscow master]
