Who Dares Wins One Loft Race

[Tinkerbell]

Good evening all, we have had another 2 brave warriors home to-day these are SU17 4669 Hamilton Hopefuls and GB17N44714 Freehand Fighters, I have made a start trying to sort through the Prize & Pool money winners and hopefully I will have this sorted by Saturday, can't do anything tomorrow I am in London so Friday is the next time I will get a chance to have a look at things,

 

It has been confirmed to-day by the SHU that we are OK to hold a sale at their show in Lanark in December, fantastic news because this is the first sale we have held in Scotland, as we are sure most are aware that these birds have been tested beyond belief so it's a great chance to grab a top class bird which has flown 292 miles in very difficult conditions e.g North East Wind and 90 degrees of heat.

Good evening to everyone, the weather to-day is terrible so thank goodness we raced last Sunday, there is no doubting the hardness of last weeks race and as previously stated the class came to the fore, for me this years race was the toughest to date, O.K two years ago it was hard but this was because of the poor weather in England, this year it was very hot as you all witnessed plus a North East Wind all the way need I say more.

 

I would like to give a mention to a syndicate who for me are probably the most consistent to date to enter One Loft Races in the UK and Ireland, the syndicate is Cookstown Sizzlers, in 2012 they won the NCC and in 2013 they won the WDW race, but every year Carl and Glenn's birds are there about's especially when its gets tough, in our final this year they finished 5th Carl & Glenn well done to the both of you.

 

After cleaning out etc to-day I stood in the loft for around 30 minutes just watching the pigeons and admiring their condition, there are some outstanding birds with quality just oozing out of them, tomorrow they will have a hot bath because on Tuesday its photo time, after having the photo's done we can then concentrate on getting them through the moult so they look first class in the sales pens, entries for 2018 have continued to come in and we are way ahead of this time last year which is great for us because you are rewarding our hard work and total dedication by supporting us again in 2018.
