Please check the ring number. Can't be 6014

748 is Easter Ross. The other is possibly from the same area. Ron47 is their convoyer and is at Cupar this weekend.

I think I have 3 of your birds here. SU12NE7551 and SU15-758 were hanging around on Sunday night and came in yesterday. SU15NE1553 is in today. I will hold on to them if anyone can collect. The weather is no good for tossing them

That must be the reason. I'll have to get bigger envelopes.

The Forfar Racing Pigeon Club are holding their Breeder - Buyer young bird sale in the Forfar Clubroom on Sunday 17th April starting at 1.00 pm. Top class youngsters on sale from club members and fanciers from the Angus and Dundee area. Unfortunately our sale clashes with a minor cup semi final and the SFA have refused our request to delay the kick off.

We got ours there last year and they seem to be ok. They said if we were not satisfied they would replace them.

You can form a government with a minority vote but you can't join a doo club

My grandad used to get grit off Arbroath beach

Angus Fed are all done.

No change

2008. they were a lighter blue

It is with great sadness that I report the sudden death of Theo, aged seventeen, son of Ken and Fiona Droog. He had suffered from asthma from a young age and passed away following an asthma attack on Wednesday. Theo was a member of Forfar RPC in partnership with his dad and loved helping Ken with the pigeons. He also enjoyed their trips to Blackpool and Doncaster shows. Sincere condolences to Ken, Fiona and family. David & Alison Liddle

Just had a look at my federations rings and they look OK to me. I compared them to a 2010 ring which I think was from the old supplier and the only difference I can see is the overall external diameter is very slightly smaller which I think is because the metal part is thinner. As far as the price goes ring sales have been a major part of the SHU income for as long as I have been a delegate and as Andy says if the mark up is reduced the shortfall would have to be addressed by an increase in subs or in some other way. However the prices of rings etc are voted on at the AGM which all members can attend and vote
