Revised Site Competition - Test Loft

Hiya Lads/Lasses,

After a lot of thought over the last few days regarding the former competition (oneloft), and reading up elsewhere the only thing we were doing which classified us the same as the big onelofts was charging an entry fee and paying prizemoney.

It would be a shame to see all the hard work go down the pan with our former event, so why dont we classifiy the competion as "Test Loft", this is exactly the same principals as we had set up with the previous competition but with this there is NO entry fee, and NO prizemoney it would simply be friends breeding a bird/s and donating it to me as a gift

This would be open to the previous members who had committed to the other if they still want to and basically simply because i had already posted the NFC rings (which most of you should have by now).

This would be exactly the same as previous which would generate the fun & banter we all wanted, and the birds would still be raced as detailed previously which would generate a site champion breeder (fun) etc etc but the would be no prizes etc

Basically i am "Testing" your bloodlines/stock on a different route to your normal federation racing and in races which i am eligible to race.............we create the fun as this was what the initial idea was formed for

What you think?

well done mark and fair play thats a great alternative

its the same old thing mate, once money gets involved things get complicated even amongst friends

I will keep you in mind mate as i still have 2 rings here which should have been going to Scotland but cant get hold of the guy

I'm pretty sure everybody else will be in favour of carrying on with this, as this was the initial thoughts of how/why it was set up....it was only an after thought and added interest what got the prizes involved etc


If anybody does'nt want to carry on (not a problem), but PLEASE could you send me the NFC rings back otherwise i wont be able to race in the NFC YB race myself.

why dont you donate any winnings to a childrens charity

im in full agreement with the revised "testloft" rules mark, and will still be entering.............thanks for continuing with it.

we are still in mark thanks

pat & bill (smilinassassin & vader)

im sill in mate

Top man Mark

seems like most of the original members are still involved with the testloft racing, if there are any who drop out mark maybe another member might want to join in.....

from the few who have replied, there is only Alexhe dropped out so far.

Also Steve1952 is currently in hospital and wont be able to breed yb's, so that means steves 4 could be out plus he was breeding 2 for Don

Can everyone else drop me a line just so i know who wants to carry on or not

Thanks

i pm`ed you a couple of days ago mark to confirm my rings had come...........also you forgot to mention don, i know you said steve was supplying the ybs for him so can you see if don is still in and then i may be able to help.

pm'ed you aswell mark to say i got mine mate il give ginger a shout to see if es still in for you mate aswell

dont want to speak for anyone else, but im sure ken will not pull out...........

yeah im sure he wont either, but its up to everyone......also maybe Ray will put them couple of extra ones in he was undecided about - if he still interested????

just update list with who i know has received their rings so far, as i posted all these out before we changed things

mark, did you say don was getting ybs from steve 1952....?

yes mate, and it looks unlikely that Steve will be able to breed?

Why what was you planning, LOl

I have the 2 auction birds which Chris P was having, these are going spare if anyone wants to put their name next to them?

mark, don can have the two ybs i won in the auction if he needs/wants them........as you know they are paid for so all he would need to do is get them to you, which you might be able to do for free if the fancier who donated them lives near you maybe ...?

they are two ybs either staff van reets or roland janssens arnt they so if he wants them he can choose......

hope this helps don and the test loft racing.

thanks David, He doesnt live near me but i go past when we go visit Mum/Dad so collection wouldnt be an issue.....Thanks

So it looks like Don will still be in for the fun

Will ring Pete now and tell him 2 x Blues (no Grizzles)

no problem mark, glad to help out.........when don comes on later could you or me confirm he is still in the testloft, as far as i know he wont know about steve not being able to supply his two ybs for him.

will send him a pm now to read this topic

thanks mark,


mark, even if we dont have the amount we had before (40) are you still willing to test our birds in the NFC for us....even if we only have half maybe...???
