One Loft Race 2020

Any members seen this weeks copy of the bhw as I haven't had mine yet but I was on the Rpra web site and seen that the entry form for the olr 2020 was on their so will down load it tonight and post it first thing Monday morning if its not in the homing world today

i dont get any of the weeklies now mark, i hope were in time ..........

Just collected my homing world and the entry form is in their as I haven't received the auction money yet I will pay in full for 4 birds on Monday and we will have the outstanding money for next year if that's alright with the members as I don't won't to leave it too late or we might miss out

do we have to pay in full mark, or do we need to pay a deposit........i cant remember.

but with the rpra dragging their heels its not helped us as it ......ive as good mind to ring them monday

Yes dave we can pay a deposit of 50 pounds per bird just thought I could get it cleared up but if members won't I will pay 250 for 5 birds and the rest when it comes

it was mentioned mark, but the idea went quite, darren did say he was willing to breed us all 5, but one person said it might be an idea to try a different breeder for the 5th bird........personally im happy to have all 5 from darren, but what do others think about the breeder and if we want to send 4 or 5 ...?

i think its a bit of a p*ss take the rpra not sending the money yet .......

I am happy with having 5 pigeons in the race and all 5 coming from Darren all bred at the same time JMO

thanks for the input don ......

I will leave filling out the form until tomorrow night and see what other syndicate members say 4 or 5 birds

ok thanks mark, lets hope more members let us know .........but dont wait too long if we dont get a good response, we need to enter asap as we want to get in again this year.

Sent Darren a pm as soon as he gets back to me on the birds I will fill the form out it will be posted Monday morning what ever happens either 4 or 5

yes 5 birds here to and happy to breed the 5 really looking forward to it this year, have even set up a section for winter breeding and pairs already selected …. I have new ammo to a really nice pair off Curtis,wall,lunt... took me a long time to get the hen for the cock of which came to me by chance this pair are outstanding and I am sure they will breed the goods ,both this years pigeons some things are worth waiting for  will get some pics of them ,will involve the syndicate all i can with the breeding aspect with pics of parents and babies as they grow …lets see if we can break the top 20 next yr its a tall order but we are going to give it our best shot atb

Something for us oldies to look forward to.

If we do not win it will not be due to the quality of the pigeons, there are numerous problems one loft birds have to contend with, and in my opinion health being a main one, no problems with ours in that respect.

Just take a tip or two from Alfie.

Regards.

Have flown some one lofters. Did well in some. Did not participate last few years.
Mike Ganus spends lots of money on one loft winners. Sells the offspring for lots of money. But like begets like usually. If a breeding does good at one lofters then those are the ones to enter.

Look forward etc to all the follow up as such here  O/S careful thou I suggest, that you just don't go to the well once to often type of thing & degrade your normal race team there in the end.

Posted the entry form yesterday for 5 birds £250 pounds so just need to wait now I think we will be OK

well done mark, so with all the members entry money, the £100 prize money, and the 50% auction money we should have enough for the 5 entries shouldnt we ...?

how long did it take to get the auction money last time mark ...?

To be honest dave I can't remember but I thought it was here by now might give them a ring next week and ask

might be an idea mark, seems to be taking a while ......

Great work Mark thank you for the effort in getting things sorted out again

Just to let members no that we have had the receipt back from the Rpra to say we have our 5 places for next season so thanks to everyone for getting the money to me early

excellent, well done mark, did you read my earlier post, the rpra have said the one loft is now full, so i was worried we might not get in ......

thankfully you was on the ball and we sneaked in .......

thanks mark

Well done Mark for your effort getti g things sorted

Yes dave I did see it they must give us more time as I had the homing world last Saturday and posted it first thing Monday morning so we was in with the early applications but they don't think that people have it delivered on a Thursday morning which is two days in front of everyone else so we was Lucky this time I'm going to ask the Rpra tomorrow at the show if they no when the auction money will be going out as we have £300 to pay by the first of April I now its a way off but will pay it as soon as it arrives any way well done to to syndicate members for being on the ball

Thanks Don looking forward to it again pressures all on Darren now but his birds are getting better each year with his hard selection couldn't be in better hands
