With the last real go for Glory this season i hope all  the guys duplicating get a taste of timing in the Greastest Club in the Land The One and Only S.N.F.C. Weather reports tonight are 50/50 but lets hope things change for tomorrow as the Navigation Forecast from Mid-day Sat on to Monday 21st July is hazardous and suicide.If they do get a chance to go can the PB members living in the following ares update the thread with the weather and wind:-Falaise ,6.00am Channel Area ,7.30am Blandford 8.30am,Newbury10.00am,Coventry 12.00pm,Wakefield 14.00pm,Ingleton 16.00pm,Hexam 16.00pm and Harwick 18.00pm.It would also be usefull if the Solway area can keep the thread alive in pigeons being timed.Good luck to all and the remaining members left in The Lanarkshire Social Circle chasing and dreaming of winning the Coveted Gold Cup. :) :) :)

Budgie

Great to see your passion showing through for the clubs that you have a deep love and affiliation with, like me you have your goals at being successful in the both these clubs.

All the best Andrew and also to all that have sent.
Gareth

PS
I hope most of the members have duplicated there pigeons between the fed and SNFC as it would be a tragedy if their pigeon tops the fed and not doesn't win the race with the SNFC.

alas some of us are not members of lanarkshire but maybe we can get some recognition also

great to see " the mighty lanarkshire fed" finally getting their act together and competing with the snfc from the final channel race, just hope you are not too disappointed if the first fed bird is not 1st section! snfc,  ;) ;) ;) good luck to the members of midland fed and also s/lanarkshire fed. :) :)

Held over due to constant rain over Britan. :( :( :(

Rebel why dont you advertise your club ect, and show the same passion as budgie. Its easy to do, lets be positive in our sport instead off knocking others. You wouldnt hear a Rangers fan big up Celtic would you (only an example). Good luck to you all.

Another holdover could be Tuesday before we get a race. :( :( :(

North west all the way and fairly fresh at that. Hopefully be a good race, hard but fair.

Liberated Sunday 19 July 2008 at 6.00am into a Light North West Wind .The 1850 birds are made up of:-A/256,B/255,C/487,D/196,E/539,F/101 and Sect G/116.Pigeons cleared well within minutes and good luck to all .Can PB members keep the thread updated on arrivals and the weather in your area over the course of the day. :) :) :)

7.o'clock in Rugby north west wind bright sun and hardly a cloud in the sky.
Best o'luck
Church Lawford weather centre (2 mile from me) 7 mph nw wind

Lets hope the Pigeon Navigation Multi-Forecast is wrong as it is in the Black which represents dangerous times with significant loss of birds if raced at the Distance.Heavy showers are developing this afternoon in the Northeast and the wind is changing to almost Due North. :( :( :(

Yes Budgie,

It was worse yesterday on the Black.See ALF still waiting on some young birds, think they may have been tossed yesterday.

Good luck to all who race today

Rab

All the best to those who sent

Sunshine here this morning in Lanarkshire with no Wind and nae Doos.With regards to the fanciers who timed in last night what an absoulte supreme fantastic effort these pigeons have made considering the Wind and Rain they had to face.Congratulations to the owners and more importanly the Pigeons Fantastic flying.E.Hodgson&Son 18.52,Walker&Wison 20.21,D Nordon 21.01 and R Renwick 21.21.Lets hope they start to filter in during the course of the day but i belive they are not in Scotland and hit a brick wall further down the country. :( :( :(
