2015 mistakes

What mistakes have members made in 2015 that they won't be doing in 2016.

I've made several but my worst one was treating the outside of the loft with wood preserver, then doing the inside as well to make it look nice when my loft was built.
What a t**t, it's caused me massive problems with mould, I'm currently in the process of sanding the whole inside of the loft, but being the professional plonker that I am, I gave it 2 coats.

Where it's rough wood, the bloom stick to the walls.
Then when we have a few wet days, and their is moisture in the air the bloom gets damp. The wall can't absorb any moisture so mould forms.

We learn by our mistakes.

Never had that type of problem Boosey here. MY big mistake I have to rectify, is a clock thing           I have to learn to set it earlier    .  

once painted inside of a loft white never again

as for what I will do different in 16 will be in the breeding and the selecting of different pairs and taking it much more serious

My biggest mistake was pushing my best bird too hard, and losing him, won't be doing that next season.

Mistake one. Young birds moulting last half of season. Missed a lot of races.Dark system 2016.
Mistake two. Obs to the nest. Widowhood this year. Simpler.
Mistake three. Did not send them often enough. So have too many. So they go every week if fit.

taking to much on and not having the energy to train young birds right now have to many birds not training the old birds enough and missing out on prizes

mistakes.........housing far too many pigeons, should get rid of half of them.......

i'v 19 as don't race that's too many

that's how ive got too many mainly George, only race a handful of races over the last 4 years or so......

got more testing my ybs out next year not only in England but 2 in NI and now chap says he would try 2 out in Scotland for me and some in Wales hope they don't all go down:
