| Used to be in the UK 3 mile radius or similar. Doubt if that is still in effect. |

| Knackered. Thought you were asking how many members within short distance of the club. As stated, club here in Canada, had a 3 mile radius. I won my fair share. Then moved. So was 5 miles out. They said I could not race with them. I had too much advantage being South on an East course and those were North of me. So joined the Apollo Club. President was Karl von Gardony. Check him out. Dead now. He imported birds from the UK instead of Europe. He was practicably unbeatable especially at the 450 500 milers. I beat him once at the distance. He read the clock tape, put it down and left the clubhouse. But Hungarian nobility, (Refugee 1956) his ego could not accept being beat by a peasant. |

| Not a good loser. But again, not many pigeon fanciers are. Same as any competition. For me, I congratulate the winners. Then try and figure why they won. |

| Yeah no one likes losing but we are all in the same boat trying to do well and forget other fanciers will be trying and have some decent birds... Be poor if we won every race |

| Yes FW. For most it is the few wins that keeps hope alive. Or close to winning. To win every race would sell many birds. So in certain circumstances the big shippers may have the odds to positions taken. But the one who sends many less and places gets the credibility. |

| If you start adding up the cost spent you wouldnt have started in the first place,but.. most started as kids with only a handful feed cheaply. Its once the bug gets a firmer hold and you want to race then its soon clear you need better feed better pigeons more training... |
