racing in one loft races is a gamble realy but you pay your money and take your chances . i think a better way would be to breed say two pigeons each and nominate a flyer off here to race them in the classic or NFC or the BBC then they will get better looked after and not mix with 1,00s of other pigeons fighting for food and a perch . just my thought so if ive upset any one im sorry
it,s not ment to . cheers kev .

| i think that would be a great idea, members who wanted to be part of it could enter maybe two birds each plus a fee which would pay for their keep and entrance fees for the races.........as you say they could fly in classic races or simply be another team which a nominated member could fly in his own club,  altho this idea of kevs would be great in my opinion i think the biggest hurdle would be getting one of us to manage the team and race them...........  would emagine not many of us would want to do it. |

hi mate , then lets get talking ready for next season we need some who races in top class
compition with big birdage and can hold there own some one like mark , but you have to have the room or a seperate loft to house the birds . i had this idea for a long time because i was going to ask all my old chums
back in my old club in yorkshire to send two each down to me and i would race them in the NFC with the main objetive of flying in the tarbes grand national i would train and race them and feed this is for the people who can,t race in the bigger race due to not having a marking station near buy i ask all my old mates but it did not take off , but if any off you are intrested in doing this then lets get some thing sorted this is not a money making racket it,s just to test your pigeons and have some fun between our selfs , if no one wants do do this i will put my name forward but if you have any one in mind then feel free to put there names forward
and lets see what happens . |

hi david , my self have room for 20 yb as well as my own my own would be in the same loft and every thing treated the same way
so it,s first come basis , you pay the carriage for the birds and say £10 a month for feed and training and entry fee for any racing in the NFC or my local club which is the somerset social flying club . you only pay this when i start to train them and race them any money won the person who,s bird wins the money will get it all i don,t want any thing , the price i said is just some thing i plucked out of the air if you have any idea,s
to put forward then please do so like i said i have room for 20 yb . |

| hi ginger 169, very true but not a problem for me to do as where only talking 20 pigeons in total
and if for any reason your bird wins a major prize or scores on a regular basis then you can have the bird back no questions asked but if you have any ideas put them forward but keep them simlple don,t them complicated we just want a bit of fun and test our birds . |

| are we talking about birds competing at club level or national level , as club level the prizes is not that good, you might as well race your own at your own club just my opinion |

sorry ment to put in when they go in the NFC
the first race is round about 200 miles to me depending where they go first race this season was st malo,
then messac,then poitiers , then tarbes ,and saintes . thats 5 national races to have a crack at and have some fun being in the SW we need a east wind to keep the birds down the SW side and every time there,s a east wind it,s always won in the west counrty . |

The N.E.H.U race from Melton Mowbray 21/4/2012 was won by Peel bros of South Shields, they took 1st club 1st fed, also taking 2nd and 4th club and 15 of the 25 birds clocked in the club......well done Peel brothers.
