| If anyone is interested, I have a collection of Old Pigeon Clocks that I had every intention of cleaning and putting back to full working order. After purchasing a computer, I never got round to it and have now lost all interest, if anyone would be interested in these please pm me and I will tell you what they are and price I would like for them. |

| 40 on darkness? mmmm bet they make a nice team....you mean buisness by the sounds of it. why have you decided to do 40 dark and 20 natural? is it so you can experiment and compare how they compete against each other? have you raced darkness before? |

| I did want them all on Darkness, But due to set backs on my own loft build and birds coming in late ive ended up with both. But i will be keeping records and seeing the differences. I flew natural when i lived in Worcester, so i will let you know which i prefer . |

| hi, i tried the light system last year but there seemed no difference in my birds,but saying that i was 28th in the futurity race but nowhere in the national then again i only sent 11 so its hard to say really. i might try it again this year because all my young uns are on the dard for the first time |

Did you pull the tail feathers or did you get some to do it for you. I must admit when i watched the dvd, i liked the look of the light system right up untill they said you had to pull every other tail feather out, then as it grows back you pull the last ones out . i think im a bit of a whimp when it comes to things like that ive got 9 fut rings and we have put them on, so fingers and every thing else crossed, they might do some good

| hi, like i said i tried the light system last year but never pulled any tail feathers out and i would,nt how desperate have people got to be to win races, i do not really like the dark system but you have to be on that to compete with the rest especially in the FUT race.i never even knew they done that untill you said how horrible... |
