| 285 birds sent, and not one back.....terrible, makes you wonder whats going on in the minds of these people who run these oneloft races, this is becoming a regular thing now. |

| Yes seems to be the same story with onelofters, maybe its a fad which is passing and wont survive....I think the only one worth doing is the R.P.R.A Which seems really well organised. The less birds home the less prize money thats paid out maybe.?? |

| 14th September 9.35. STINKER , still no birds home, the birds were liberated in good clear safe weather the winds were forecast for later from West to East gusting to 10/ 15 mph , so a good race should of been on the cards , we had forcasts from all corners of the line of flight and surronding areas all was good ,, we had people arriving saying good clear nice day ahead we had calls from all over saying clear skys etc , when the wind arrived we had gusts of 20/25 mph to cause concern later in the flight, we can go on and on about what was to happen and what did , but we liberated the birds in good weather with a tricky bit to get over in the middle of the flight but the worst bit was to come late afternoon when the birds should of been home or there abouts the wind came earlier and stayed longer than forecast, The race will still open for 7 days and we will then review the situation ! we will update a.s.a.p. on any reports . Terry 15th September, 8 05 am no birds yet will update on any news, |

| yes would be more managable for them eh,
we entered this somerset race last year you know graham, i think there was half a dozen of the members in a syndicate with four ybs entered..........as far as i can remember we lost them all before the final race.
it seems a regular thing now by what ive read that these onelofts are loosing loads of pigeons and the final races being a disaster, i would emagine fanciers wont keep entering for much longer into them if it continues like this. |

| true, and as much as i have a few gripes with the rpra re bops etc....i think the rpra oneloft is the best one around and they seem to have a good reputation and results. |

| at the end of the day david they say the birds are being tested against the best in the country or world but there not realy ask how many who run theses races have won a national and how would the birds fare in a national race there all going to the same loft so what makes them better than other birds nothing ide sooner own a national winner thats flown against thousands of birds and hundreds of members any day |
