only got as far as your 6th post grizzle and to be honest you talk more shit than there is on a dairy farm

Sad !!!!!!!!! But not one of the better topic's/discussion's for what I have seen here unfortunately ????. Who ever may be right/wrong & I do not really know etc, (distance) but much of what I have read, does not fit into my critera, of what I exspect/require on a forum such as this "Spirit of the sport".
You know !!!!!!! Church on Sunday type of thing.

how people can train in this weather is beyond me but each to there own .

Trouble nowadays kev it doesnt matter how you look after them,you have got to put your trust in other people,look at what that asshole convoyer did last year at the now infamous bedampton, he single handedly destroyed combine birdage for the whole oldbird season,thats the only reason marmande is off the calender now.Thats the truth

i dont know much about this race but yes conveyers / contollers make mistakes they can have a 100 good races 1 bad race and they dammed who would be a race controller but instead of slagging them off put your name forward see how you get on sean

im glad they moved us forward a wk jamie give me abit more time to get them goin wudov been better a fortnite but a wks grace is better than none but we will see how things go will still more than likely miss 1st race then come in on the 20 th but atleast they wont be to far down didnt start racin till 3rd yb race last year and faired out ok so we will see wat happens but need a serious weather change for me to make first race lol

Will secomnd you 110% Seanl

I have done the convoying side of this sport Worcester Fed, Old Bromsgrove Fed, Wolverhampton Fed, Dudley Fed and yes all the good ones everything is fine but as soon as you have a bad lib thats it it sticks like glue and it always raises its ugly head when issues arise.

The fanciers that really get to me are the ones that always complain and can do a better job but were are they when its time for them to put there money were there mouth is as they say

ALL MOUTH NO ACTION

i no the weather conditions are all over the place at the moment,but no point fussing get on with it,i would not dream of traning my birds in these bitterly cold east winds, having said that they still need to go out if possible, mine have been out 3 hours today on open hole, mostly in the sky, there choice not mine?, it certanly has not done them any harm,in fact they have enjoyed themselfs, and creating that happiness and love of home is a must.

Well said Edgie. I open the loft for my birds every day, if they want to fly the can if not they can sit in there box. I would never kick them out or flag them.

I think we will be sending on the 20th April but it all depends on the weather i were reading on a weather site and they say its like this till the 12th of April so if thats true we will wait for a break in the forcast no point throwing them away eh Ste

i'm gonna go for the 27th april for first race and our clubs 2nd ...thats the plan anyway

yes black saturday was a bad day but i reckon over 50% liberated that day from the south coast , but at the end of the day i blame my self for sending for i knew it was going to be bad and i still sent but its a lesson learnt .

I would have to say "that was a nice result" Don't the good ones amaze you etc in what they will do at times for you. 16 oz's of gut's & determination is what I think of, when they give you a nice result. Then again !!!!!!!!! even the slower ones when its hard/long have my admiration (tough as nails) etc.
