1st,2nd,7th,8th club, 24 out of 25 home, the club falling apart tho, gone from 11 members sending down to 4 , those remaining all good fanciers tho, and think some that have jumped ship taking the easy option elsewhere

great result r/rog , well done ............i think a lot of clubs send less birds at this stage of the season, so you can only compete against whats there.

it doesnt take away the fact your birds did very well

You cannot be responsible for the low number of those sending it could be for a number of reasons, but must be disappointing.


Looked up the fed I used to fly in when the average fanciers sending in most clubs were well into double figures, now some clubs with two and three members sending and must be going to other clubs to basket to keep within the rules.


You can only compete against those entering and choose how many send your pigeons still have to perform and to get such good returns under present circumstances is an achievement in itself.


Will have a job sorting them out at the end of the season though, was always a problem for me, never liked sorting them out.


Regards.

Absolutely disappointing etc Misty sole destroying in fact I suggest for those that can still remember, when clubs were big as such & the baskets were 50 yards down the road, because the club room was full of flyers as such .

well done rog you can only beat whats sent ,art in itself to keep them going these days with all the ailments/sickness etc. that's about
