Certain people are bleeding here David in a big big way on average with their returns etc unfortunately this weekend in different feds here. One old fella I know thou is 5 down from 50 in his race even if a wee bit on the slow side & they were at the same exact spot that my favourite man     tossed his pigeons as such.

I sent 5 to Peterborough 75 miles for there first race, I had 3 within 2 minutes and got 8th and 10th. The other 2 came later in the day.
Well happy for their 1st race.
Got RopaB in their water, fingers crossed they don’t get the dreaded young bird sickness this week.

well done on 8th and 10th steve, a good start to the season......full returns too.

yep, I`m keeping a close eye on mine, training starts tomorrow.....

well done to yer buddy oz...well done steve a nice start 24 hours is a long time for ybs be observant atb

Not many went in my club got the first race. I was expecting 170/200, but 5 members only sent 60 and the Fed lorry didn’t look like it had many on.

Sign of the times Boosey the empty lorry scenario even the unit I toss in here is pick your own tier type of thing sadly, seeing the birds are that scarce etc now compared to years gone by. Did have 4500 birds  go away in the race on Saturday, tipping 5500 this coming weekend so maybe not ????? jump of the cliff time, just yet, maybe .

not many went in our fed either steve, only 3 members sent in our club, looking at the fed numbers the other 5 clubs were sending around the same, with 3 and 4 members per club sending too.

Same at our club, 14 members and only 3 sent for the 1st YB race, was the same last year everyone seems to want to miss the first YB race, wonder if having a week off between old bird and young bird racing would help

yes, more seem to be doing it...........I presumed it was because they wernt ready, but might be more to it

I suggest you may be right David . We have the smart a**e types here that don't put their birds in the first 4 club races etc but will release their birds shortly after our main release hoping for a free ride home type of thing. Those that front up pay each week here tend to gloat some what, when it all crashes around them come Saturday night as such . Wonderful thing some thing like Benzing Live it can make at times a world renowned expert type & his like, look like an utter gooses in rather a big way compared to the average club type flyer at times .

Bleeding time here going by the blokes over at the tossing unit this morning etc from yesterdays race on average. Interesting little snippet mentioned while there One of the feds trucks here on the way to the race yesterday, ran head on into a wild bull as such out in the back blocks. $20,000 odd dollars damage. Thank ****** it wasn't my Fed as I would have to morgage my house I'm to cover the costs of my share .

I'm glad it wasn't our fed......our birds got lib at 7.00 Inner light north west wind ...We sent to the last channel And never seen a bird since400 + miles
