Sad !!!!!!!! But I'm a chump etc

The big day     come here on Saturday etc. My big come back ???     after years of enjoying life, doing what normal people/folk do type of thing    . One crap race for me     & everyone else also. Rain rain & rain       & a tail wind up there backside for 100 to 150 miles for the members. 1900+ birds in the Fed, & all fed positions were down the bottom "Bar one"     & she is classed as a champion etc by those that know a good pigeon here by her past performances in hard races. She won her club here
(11flyers & 280+birds) & just scrapped in the bottom of the Fed
"18 positions" & she just happened     to pip me by 2 minutes       & so the best I could do, for my big comeback, was 2nd club (Chump class)    .

Thank's everyone etc     . A strange feeling somewhat     putting the rubber into the thimble & then into the clock, with not a clue how I would go/finish up in my big comeback.

good luck for next week

It's all part of history now O/S    
"The chump"     may finish up jumping of a cliff face etc after looking at the forecast for next weekend here. Rain rain & rain again. I don't know what the pigeons think ???    But I know I'm to old now to be standing outside in it, waiting.

well done knackered good job

Feed your birds FLAX seed.
it will make them "VERY" slick -like a Duck-and kinda water proff them a little. they will be able to fly in light rain 10-15 minutes longer then other birds in the race before they have to sit down.

I agree with the previous post.

Interesting Skytx. Not for me thou, too damm dear here unfortunately I would have to morgage my house to buy a bag    etc. I just might mention it to one of my club mates thou    he flys what we call/term the Van ducks   (Van dykes) & they certainly need something to improve there feather condition sadly.
