as you know i havent been in the best of health let a lone worried about telling people how the fut birds are and whats left these were far from my mind , once i get back on my feet you will have a full update on these birds also for people interested in this race there was a lack of comittment as to pooling them so they cant of been that bothered about them

Ok Thanks lads for the replies, as David said just interested in what eventually happened with them. Just like any other race a bit of luck needed for a result.
Hope Ians in full fetle for next years Fut race...lol

re the "test loft",

the original idea was that all members wanting to take part in nfc racing would pay 20 per bird, this would cover vacinating, feeding etc.......when it was found out that a licence would be needed from the rpra to stage a one loft race it was decided that members had the choice to pay an entry fee which would entitle them to any money won, or to just send mark brown their ybs and not pay any entry fee, therefor not entitleing them to any winnings........this was then re-named "the test loft"

some members payed their entry fees and other members didnt , then as we know the disaster happened when the ybs were taken on their first training toss and were lost..........with only 3 or 4 pigeons returning, which so im told were entered into into a couple of races, eventually only one bird survived but i dont know what has happened with it as mark brown has not informed us..........
