Are you saying the owners of the Company are holding the other OL event ?.

If so would like to know what goes down the pigeon's throats.


Strange setup.


Regards.

the rep for the company is running a new olr from the yearling loft

The plot thickens should be very interesting to see how both OLs perform.

Running you say George poor man may just be running some what faster than he somehow thinks I suspect if things go pear shape there etc on the pigeon side & also with his magic type potions.

Certainly be a boost for the company if their loft does better than the RPRA loft.

Wonder if they will work together and try different tactics.

Very unusual situation all round.

Does anyone know the entries for both events ?

Regards.

Not much of a yard stick there I'm   etc Misty I suggest      One of those strange type things with your RPRA race over the years as such never seen anything here about what & when on the potion side, may have somehow been pumped into them over the years to gain the success they have had .  

Does anyone know how many entries both OLs have ?.

Regards.

Upset about Knackered just hope he is OK.

In the very early 1970s David I crossed swords with the Clique, found them to be
sadly lacking in all decent qualities, even stooping to fabricating evidence etc;

From then on I attempted with my late friends Steve Spinks (the first fancier to suggest going into schools with videos etc;) and Mike on His Hill to bring them to task and change matters.

Made sevaral suggestions ( many years later suggested by the Hills Report) one or two were adopted but not the main ones.

Corresponded with nearly every General Manager on numerous occasions, many ageed with me but said impossible to impliment without going through the undemocratic system

Everything we suggested would happen to the sport without changes has materialised.

Over the years hundreds of letters and many articles involved, right up to
Comparatively recently.

Blotted my copy book with the last letter written just having to depart with my feathered friends and not realy of sound mind ( do go off on one occasionally)
tellings few home truths.

This in the past year or so.

Would realy like to do an article, HOW TO RUIN A SPORT.

Have many letters from fanciers both here and abroad, over the years made many friends.

Thats life.

Regards.

can't find any update on both lofts

Not happy news then George.

Just hope for the good of the sport both turn out OK.

Would not be very helpful if small OLs got a bad name, would leave only those with millions of pounds involved where only the world money mad are involved.

Maybe the RPRA OL should think about reducing numbers and limiting the number a member can enter, think less about prize money and more about sport.

Once the lure of money is involved >>>>>>.

reason why i enjoyed the test lofts

Never heard of them George until someone on the site mentioned them a while back sounds a good idea and chance to test one's pigeons against another fancier's methods.

Trouble is everything is complicated by existing circumstances.

More I think about how the sport has been neglected the more I could scream.

Regards.

it was also for fanciers to test there birds in another fed it was a good idea to a fancier just starting  up or coming back into the sport i was in 2 really good ones there last trainer was the first race point in another loft they would get a trainer twice a day no loft flying birds would come from all over even Ireland this one was called olr but it wasn't there was only 60 odd birds in the loft and there was no prize money but great fun
