but south lanarkshire are affiliated to rpra so this bird should be stamped if it belongs to an rpra member (or can they pick and choose which rules they follow?)

why dont the rpra enforce it then! about 90% of GB strays we get are not stamped

well done Jim ... loads of birds missing on the East tho

any tell us what the weather is like on line of flight from newbury to east/central scotland

exactly

got to say if you were racing east route into lanarkshire say from leicester the birds would follow much the same route through cumbria especially with east in the wind. it appears the majority of birds missing are yearlings. i reckon they have gone west maybe over to ireland. by the way i`ve got 6 or 7 injured birds in the loft from east route racing mainly hawk attacks

yes....... but how do we know what the truth is

is that a correct velocity the leader is doing???

2.87 is for the champ system. 2.86 is for the profi system which most of scotland are using. no problems here so far (touch wood). Could the problems be with the upgrades not carried out correctly or wrong input of data?

his gp should contact them or contact dr phil lynch who is very helpful and also a fancier

i think every case is different but some can carry on with reduced contact with pigeons while others have to pack in completely. a partnership is a great idea cos it will give him an interest without having to go in with the birds. has he been in contact with the research team for advice?

easy to be wise after the event

whats all that crap to do with a lost doo...the secs phone number is 01241 873923 A Shepherd

where are you clockman? Dundee club - sec in 06 was A Thomson 01382 380322

can someone form your club not do the check off at the fed-if thefed have the equipment surely someone must be able to operate it........or you could move to scotland......none of this hassle up here

If as I understand you are a NWHU member only you will be wasting your money as i think they voted against allowing members to use ETS

Sorry if i`ve offended you Ian but all I was trying to say was that when something constructive comes along which may unite the sport we have certain folk stirring things up and querying rules before they have been advertised. This will be my last word on the matter..........possibly ever

I know nothing about the race but would assume that if it is under SHU rules any suspended members would not be able to take part. All true fanciers should support the race if they can but as usual we have sad individuals who will try to drag pigeon politics into it. Rest assured we are sick to the back teeth of you. If you dont want to go to the race leave the rest of us in peace

unfortunately it will take a few years but eventually all the dinosaurs will become extinct and common sense will prevail

there is already a british nfc based in england but you must be a rpra member to join. but that does not seem to upset those who moan about the snfc/shu situation....i wonder why?

No point trying to score points against each other we are all in the same boat................falling membership/birdage and increased costs. at least they are trying to do something to stem the losses rather than bury their head in the sand.

No problem with mine from newsagents

Tesco free range........had a job catchin it tho

The fact that many of the birds on offer are bred down from top national winning bloodlines obviously increases the chance of producing winners BUT there is never a guarantee. You pays your money and you take your chances and I bet there will be plenty big prices paid. I would say more chance of picking up a good un at this sale than the majority of the birds advertised weekly for sale with loads of paper pedigrees but very little performance to back them up
