Although it hurts to say it, WELL DONE Blue noses

Nothing wrong with the ETS ring then :-/ sounds like HUMAN ERROR, on 2 accounts, 1. the guy putting the bird through should be listening for the "double bleep" 2. the guy watching the base station, should have noticed the bird did not register :-/

Got another last night, and 1 more this morning, so only 1 to come, however this yearling cock took 2weeks to come from Kelso this year already :-/

Well done to all those who chalked up a WIN yesterday

Although I would love the Hoops to do it, I honestly have to say neither deserve to be labelled Champions, Scottish football is so boring :-/

bigdees on this forum wins our club 2day, well done m8

19 home from 21 sent to Wakefield

Is that so they can ask their way home when lost Sammy? ;D ;D ;D

Stuart, out of interest, when he arriverd, did he register as a TRAINER?

Well done young Ben m8

Sorry to hear about your delima Stuart, however good luck with your other 11 entrants m8

Fife Fed up at 7.30 at Wakefield Good luck to all who are racing 2day

Fife Federation at Wakefield 186 miles

Well folks what,s the chances of races taking place on Saturday, or is Sunday the best day for your Federation? :-/ if so where are you racing from?

Not sure about this, I have heard of them being put on natural from widowhood for the distance races :-/

Gers to slip up, MON THE ARABS, and the BHOYS to hammer the jam tarts MON THE HOOPS

I will be sending 10 widowhood cocks, and will decide 2moro on what goes from my natural team, once I have seen the weather forecast and also take into consideration the nest condition of them. Flying from Wakefield 186 miles into Fife

How long after a hen has laid her 2nd egg, would you wait before putting her in the race basket?

As I have said b4, used this service twice, both more than satisfied with the service on both occasions

The weeks are just flying by :-/ anyway, what are we intending to send this weekend? and how far, from where?

No replies :-/ has this one got you thinking????????

So following on from this thread; What is the furthest distance you would throw a 2year old in at? FOR IT,S FIRST RACE OF THE SEASON

Race controller must be one of the most difficult possitions to hold, we propose these people and vote them into post at our AGM,s, so we need to have faith in them and support them in their decisions, and remember they are only human and may make mistakes. As said b4, if you feel you can do a better job, then stand up and be counted and put yourself forward at the next AGM, however I doubt that will happen :-/ I can also understand that fanciers become disappointed at not getting a race when others around them are having a good race. Is it the case that it comes down to finances, and how much it costs to keep a transporter and personnel down at a liberation point waiting on suitable weather? In the ideal world our birds would go to the race point every week, and if need be, move back up the road for a shorter race(better than no race) but this does not always happen. So lets support our officials and work with them, for what is the best for our birds, I would just like to add, that some people who shout about birds not going, will be amongst the first ones to complain if they have a bad race due to birds being liberated in dodgy weather. this is only my opinion, and in no way directed at any individual club, federation or fancier Enjoy and be patient

Should he not be STANDING TO ATTENTION, in the presence of the Queen? ;D ;D ;D

Due to the constant heavy rainfall, and also taking into consideration the forecast for the remainder of the week, RAIN, not only can fanciers not train,we can not get our birds out, to fly around the loft. Do the fanciers take this into consideration when selecting their team for Saturday, which could be upto 200 miles? Any views welcome, or past experiences :-/
