I wouldn't be thinking much in this regards.

March / April would suit me just fine. Two rounds even and ALL would be expected fly the y/b programme. Obviously depending on unforeseen circumstances.

end of January for me at the earliest, 60 rings 36 ybs for me rest will be going out will take 16 darkies and 20 naturals I am leaning more towards the naturals but want a few darkies as we have a new north combine race with the welsh,notts and surrounding areas and the south west of England this race is mid September also our yb ring special is the week before so want a few to have a go in these races with some darkies

Don’t race against the welsh, they’re not nice people you know
I know of 2 that you need to stay clear of

60 rings not even O/S enough for my first round when I ring them here in the next week or so. Now it's what I call the Peel factor/scenario in play I'm   as I'm just not letting a Geordie type     breed more than me as such.

Dripping eh! Starving the birds of a natural sauce of energy eh!

Better than the 'Sheep' fact I'd wager.

Got a fancy knackered will know a fair bit about sheep...
Do a border colly out of a job.

True Country was built off the back of a sheep's back type of thing here FW around the 2nd world war era etc. More sheep here back then than humans as such. throw in the Skippy types also ing around & the country was really jumping in a big, big way back then.

Not too many women either then

Like I say. Maybe some could swap some 'Breeders'. New mates WILL AND WOULD add some vitality that's for sure...

Around mid dec for stock 60 club rings 10 gold rings and two breeder/buyer rings

True But we then flooded the country with imports etc FW back then. Greeks, Italians, Pom's & other misfits types   "Boat type of people" & they all bred like rats as such & then that evened the equation out so to speak in some ways. Final note, One of the greatest/best events that ever happened for our country here from my perspective. Recent type of events here thou sadly along the same/similar lines just not quite the same, all up on average from my perspective now, unfortunately.

No hurry for us

No your talking about the scum of the earth types your lot sent out here 200 odd years ago Daz to eliminate the black fella types I suggest. I'm actually talking about, the boat people of the fifties there you sent out from your orphanage's to us as such here, with many taking away from their local families sadly "Being children" & who then lost contact with them unfortunately, when they arrived to build a new life over time here.

Ok true. Yes we brought up a bit regards the Church taking the kids and planting them in Aussie Land. Now the shame is well documented....

Good friend/neighbour, was one of the Benardo type kids, sent out here Daz shortly after the 2nd world war etc. For 40 odd years he never knew if he had family or not back in Britain as such & when he arrived here there was much abuse placed on him/them when young       by his stories. Fortunately, at last  "the system" in the end, put him in contact with his lost family as such & paid for him & his wife to travel & meet them type of thing, thankfully. Added fortunately the last part to a gig saw with him & his family tree there I suspect.

JW here today. Man and wife. She looks Indian. Cree. Indigenous here of course. Very good freind. Husband a computer expert. Any way. Told her her hair was nice. Black and long. She then told me her great grandmother was Indian. Her Grandfather married her. British. Even today most f the household drink tea. With apple cider vinegar. Her son baptised JW is in Ireland again. Spreading the word or whatever. Joined a unit over there. Southern Ireland I beleive. She asked me about Brexit. Told her had no idea how North or South would fare.

Local J.W's here Hal have been here for over a 100 years. Have several different speaking congregations. Polish. Lithuanian, Rumanian, Chinese, different Asian etc. etc. The main English speaking congregation have over 300 alone attending on a Thursday / Sunday.
No racism, just a happy Family.
