Ambition in sport

have seen that Darren  still think rpra need to come clean about the lot i'v spent £250 and not happy about it

i think the rpra AGM will show council members knew very little about this

oh i think they knew alright but think about it ,why create a fuss until all entries are in for the rpra one loft why let people become aware there is a better pay out one loft at the same location ££££££££ is the reason ,i think the rpra is in for hard times ahead to many hangers on and nobody there that really cares i am afraid ,anyway back to the reddings and what happened with that dosh and who sanctioned the sale who put pen to paper was it the last manager who is no longer there

did you know Darren i think they are racing north road this year final race over 250mls

it was always north george but last year they went south but never told anyone beforehand they just did it ,losses were just as bad but locations easier to get to i suppose ....no reason for the decision was given just like our politicians george they do what they like it seems as they know fanciers have entered and the dosh is in the bank

it was north when i was in it years ago it's now NE  some say Jeremy made a big mistake last year  wonder was it changing south but that had to be a rpra decision

well good luck going ne over the pennines as that is the most dense population of bop in the country

Alnwick 230mls

The money is shown as in the Bank oldstrain shown on the balance sheet.

As usual the Clique dealt with it.

No means of telling if it was a good deal or not.

Think there is still a plot of land not sold.

BHW this week George, as you say not one letter.

Just shows the apathy that abounds in the sport.

One or two articles worth reading, Old Hand for one.

Another annoyed me regarding pulling primaries etc.

Would think fanciers would be asking questions on the many threats the sport faces.

But then it seems to suit some.

Regards.

yes misty old hand from 1999 he's gone but his name lives on was the other article from latebreds

Missed opportunity maybe George if you simply had a go there at both of them you maybe could have flown South & North together type of thing maybe     as the ship goes down etc    .

What what ever happened to racing South there etc George lost opportunity again I somehow suspect maybe, with all the planning that went into last year's general racing debacle going South .

cant you contact your bank and cancel the payment ?

Tried to find out how many entries so far in the RPRA OL, no joy.

There is one thing for certain it ain't half going to be interesting.

Regards.

remind me how many days from 2nd egg until hatching

Incubation period George 18 days.

Regards.

18 days George.

What a miracle, from a little egg comes a little beauty in 18 days.

And some people do not believe in God.

Regards.

could not remember if 17 or 18

Just read Parkinson in the BHW George, interesting.

Crossed swords with him in the 1970s regarding the ETs

He cannot find out just how many members the RPRA have.

Think he is still interested in the commercial side, but interesting read.

Also read regarding horse racing in this country.

In the same state as our sport, blame, the same type actually running the sport as the RPRA.

Regards.

had forgotten about the BHW must finish reading it

the bit on culling birds made me smile remember as a small lad digging a large hole in the garden after racing now many don't even finish a season racing also agree too many fanciers don't know what to look for when handling a bird the weekly shows were great you could handle the top fanciers birds in your club
