well done all

bravo well done GInge winning the Gold ring bravo

well done ginger, great result there.....happy for you

thanks for the results rene.

it was a very hard race mate only 7 birds home on the day mate i sent 8 not seen a feather well disapioned to say the least to of them done it last week some of the others down the club aint seen nothing aswell very dihartening mate

was liberation today rene.......?

they were libed when it was pissin down here on sat morning dont think even ducks wouldnt of gone out in it sue ive held over here yesterday and today because of the weather i got the dorset and the solent ovre here this week it was a very hard i sent 8 not seen a feather same as others in the club out of the two clubs over here there were only 9 birds recorded 7 in ours that was just two members and two members from the other club mate that was 9 birds out of about 100 birds so another smack again im nit send in no more this year just keep the young ones trainin i think

soory to hear youve had bad races rene, its part of the reason ive not sent yet bt im trianing for the next week or so and putting them in open races so i can jump them in at the fed/gya races.

thats where its a lot easier for you gus over there you can go for mile each day where we can go 7-9 miles then its strait cross the water mate

Well Done Ginger and well done to all

good advise ginger...............sometimes i need a kick up the backside, so ill remember what you said

keep focused david,youve got to.

mick.

David you seem to be a bit worried sending your birds the way I look at things if I send my birds as youngbirds what i get home I look after them for next year dont get me wrong I dont like loseing any birds it hurts when you lose but that last for a week then you start looking at the next race and forget last week what I think while I got them send them you might lose next time its better to send two that got a chance of coming home than to send ten that might come home

hi ginger,yes you are basically right in what you say...........with me just restarting this season with ybs i wasnt prepared for what was to come re breeding, weaning going on the dark and all sorts of other things, as i once said to you that this season would be just a yb season and that would be it, no next year racing..........but as you already know things are said but things also alter and who knows i might just race next year

with me not being fully prepared for racing the system of dark ybs took some time to get used to and also the problems i had re not flying/ranging didnt help, then they became ill which i dont know if it was yb sickness or not, this again i wasnt prepared for so eventually i missed the first two newark 56 mile races and have decided that i will enter all my ybs in a couple of open races which are at newark also which will enable me to jump my birds into the 150/200 mile fed/gya races.....thats if all goes well

ive also made a big mistake in getting atached to some of them and thinking of them as pets..............

your not the first one to get atached to them I do I would sooner have all my birds home than win the race and get 1 as we all no that cant happen or we hope it dont as we could not keep them all

true ginger, the truth is as far as im concerned, is that i need to loose some of them even tho i dont want to because when it comes to deciding who stays and who goes at the end of the season i personnally cannot kill a pigeon.......i know we have our own methods of deciding if the bird should be disposed of or go on to make next seasons team etc but ill find it very hard to decide....

best weather weve had this coming saturday for 1st race David

will be entering newark 56 mile open race this sunday..........
