no birds left in somerset one loft

Kev I agree with you mate totally, firstly they basket them by rounding them up into a basket trainer on mass no handling, however Im not sure if someone does check them but I dont think so. As to nominating a flyer to take charge o some first class birds, I would go for that something differant and interesting.

hi kev, im in...............like the sound ot it very much.

Just thinking out loud but wouldnt it be amazing if a site like this raised some money, bought a loft put it on someones land or garden, then gave a team of birds like a one loft race but only site members. Then each week pool and race against eachother? just a thought but good be really good.

depenin on exactually done i'm interested in it

hi martyn, even tho i like the idea i think it would be hard to get one of us to manage and race the birds..........mainly because they will be racing their own team and to do another seperate team would be a lot of extra work, i know i wouldnt be able to cope as ive all on trying to manage the ones ive got of my own.

lets see if anyone else is interested in forming our own "oneloft" for site members then we can take it from there.........

hi kev, im happy to join the "syndicate" and i hope more of our members will be interested in joining........what ill do is give these posts relating to the proposed "oneloft" a section of its own and make it a sticky then members who come on over the next few days wont miss it.

just looked on basket list weve got nothing left in the race so i guess thats the end of it

cheers david that would be good it,s just the incentive i need right now some thing to get my teeth in to and get our members on the NFC club results open list any bird that wins a diploma or prize money will be sent to the owner , i can tell you winning one of them is a hard task but you will treasure it for ever plus you can see the race unfolding
on the NFC web site on race day as the race progreses very exciting i can tell you .

I would concider this also

also just thought of it i will have to order extra yb rings from the NFC next season for you to put on your yb if your going to take part because for us to fly in the yb national they have to have NFC rings on then i will send them out to you also the enrty fee for the yb national will be £3.50 per bird , i think doing it this way some one as a better chace of getting a bird in the section result or even the open result if we get in the first 20 in the section D then we get a diploma and and also in the first 500 in the open , section D is a big section covering all devon and cornwall and part of somerset up to bridgewater
so if your intrested give it a wirl . my number is 01823 666407 if you want to ask any questions im not making a penny out of this it,s just trying to test your pigeons in the NFC and have your name in lights just ask mark how he felt when he won the national .

I will be in.

so far we have david , rudderfett , and two may be,s with don web and rene A ,
so that,s a possible 8 pigeons we have up to now only 20 places so 12 left
it,s gota be better than sending your birds and mixing with 100s of others when with only looking after
20 pigeons and my own there going to be better looked after i will give you a update on there health and training routine and you have the final say if they go to the race or not if you don,t send the money for there enrty then i will pay it and get the reward if there is any if you want to pool your bird then you send the money with your enrty fee to me and i will do the rest if your bird wins any pool money you get the lot

hi kev, ken friendslofts said he would be in too............

hi david , that,s 10 pigeons we have 10 places left , if your saying you are taking part
can you give some breeding detailes on the babies you will be sending down that goes for every one .
cheers kev .

Kev d

Must tell you at the moment i don't have any pigeons but shall have to ask a few friends to see who would breed me a few birds, must say can't see a problem but will let you know soon enough

good to have you involved darren, hope you and your birds are ok, and you have been doing well with racing............

been thinking about the one loft race from my loft for next season how long do
you want it to carry on for from yb through to old birds with the main object
of trying to get some of these pigeons to score at tarbes 560 miles .
just a few pointers .
1st , you send 2 yb (2011) bred and pay carriage and a donation for corn , minimum donation £10 .
2, i will send you 2 NFC club rings registerd in my name .
3, i will train them up then race them as trainers in the somerset social circle flying club open to any one in somerset realy good grounding for the NFC races .
4 then they go to the NFC yb race , it could be lessay , fourgers , st malo , any one of them but no more
than 200 miles to me .
5, you pay the entry fee for the race plus any pools you want to put on entry fee per bird is £3.50
but you need to send it to me in advance due to having to send it off 5 days before the race .
6,any money won or dipolma you get it all but if you want to make a donation for the up keep of the birds
ie corn i wount say no but i will leave that up to you .
7, if you don,t send your entry fee to me on time then you forfit your bird for that race and i have the choice
to send it for my self , ie cos i will be paying for it .
8, we have to decide between us if we want the yb on the darkness because the yb national is late aug or early sept we need them in the best possible condition i can get them so they have the best chance to compeat against the big guns , so can you please let me know either way . i hope i havent made it to complicated but we need some sort of rules to stop any fall out im not in this for any gain all the money will be spent on corn and your entry fee,s for the race . please ask any question if in dout cheers kev dyson .

hi kev, good ideas you have there, there are a couple of points tho which i dont quite understand so if you could explain a bit more that would be great........firstly the £10 corn and rings? then a donation if/when we want ?

i think for those members who want to join this "one-loft" it would be best if maybe you/they could work out how much you think it would cost to keep the birds ie food etc.......and then pay so much first as a deposit, then if maybe a yb gets lost they could send a replacement ???

im not sure really but it would be good to hear some more suggestions or ideas off other members

thanks kev.

hi david , the £10 i just plucked out of thin air i just don,t know how much to charge
all i thought was i just want enough to keep them in corn for the season plus the NFC rings
cost £4 per 10 rings so 20rings is £8 and they have to pay carrige on top i don,t want this working out
to expencive for people to take part in , yes if they want to send a replacment by all means yes they can
if there is any thing else please ask as im new to this as well . cheers kev

yes, everything you have said suggested sounds good to me kev.......like you im new to this so would be nice for some more experienced members to voice their opinions which would help organise things easier as its a very good idea of yours to hold this

The Lightning 13 is there on basketing list for the 4th but cant see it on the training list for the 5th

this is a different bird to the one we had left in
