| As I and others say... Maybe the y/b season should start now... or better in a couple of weeks time. Liked them to have been - if possible earlier. Before the sun heat. But good to see such fine result Oldstrain. |

| No good making any suggestions for change, it suits those who could make changes to leave things as they are.
For many years losses have been a problem, nothing whatsoever has been done to attempt to find the cause and possible solution.
In nature the furthest a wild pigeon has to fly for food is in the winter, it breeds at a time when food is near by and plentiful, it also has the best feathering to deal with harsher conditions just prior to Autumn and Winter having to fly further afield for food etc;
Gone through it many times regarding changing ideas regarding when is the best time to start racing both old and young birds nobody interested and exactly the same will apply until the sport is ruined.
Regards. |

| 6th club today darkies taking over now but really pleased with our lot 13/13 and 12 within 2 hours and considering their moult they did well to be fair ,club winner was way out in front the rest of the result was covered by 20 yds ...we usually darken ourselves but new yb loft was up to late,very happy for our club winner after a bout of illness it should be the ideal remedy |
