| exactly george, strange thing to say isnt it ........hes more or less admitting he could have done better and that he knew he wasnt doing things right ....although the rpra one loft seems full of excuses anyway . |

| Be interesting to see what happens next year.
If he had any sense the pigeons would have had open loft and not hungry for most of the time not sat on their backsides in the loft.

Said previously David, hungry pigeons just wait for their next meal would get better results hopper fed. But hey, that means actually giving them enough feed. Who knows what the actual amount they get or what. feed is used. Whole thing mystery. Regards. |

I posted it David but sure George thinks the same. Whole set up appears strange. Regards. |

| Jeremy Davies 15 h · Good Evening So that’s another trainer under there belts a little split up but will tighten them up and no harm done. Tomorrow they will loft fly then on Wednesday the weather forecast looks good so they will get a 30 or 40 mile trainer. The birds are looking great and weather permitting the Final race will be Sunday the 17th. The marquee was put up a week ago so the birds are well accustomed to it now. I will update again on Wednesday with the latest on training etc. Jeremy.. |

What amazes me is where on earth do all the missing pigeons end up. These are only sprint races one would expect to have decide at the end of the season which ones to keep and which to part with if kept by one fancier. Think there are facts we know nothing about including knowing where some end up. Regards. |

Yes George and if truth be known we could be better off not knowing. What riles one more than anything it goes on year on year and no one appears to worry about solving what goes wrong. If there are any disputable events involved then at the present time there is no way of knowing. Think every participant is entitled to know at what stage his/her entries were lost. including having to be culled, lost off the loft etc; Regards. |

| exactly misty, out of all those hundreds which go missing no one actually know what happened to there entries ....worse still is when they go missing even before the first hot spot . |

| Jeremy Davies · Good Afternoon The Rpra One Loft birds at flight around the lofts will push them each day where I can. Just back in before the heavy rain arrives. Having studied the weather forecast I can see we’re have a good chance racing on Thursday from Alnwick if the forecast stays the same with a moderate head wind but any earlier than that is a no go with gale winds and rain forecast. I will update again on this on Tuesday with the latest information on the weather to hand. As always it’s a case of being patient and putting the birds first.
Jeremy.. |

| i think a lot of fanciers will be disillusioned with these one lofts george, i`ll bet a lot wont bother entering over the next couple of years, in fact i think numbers have dwindled this year compared to what they were . |

dont forget george there holidays are more important ,i mean....who goes on holiday during the one loft after making the commitment to run the show,knowing that ybs health can turn overnight if it were me i would want to be there for the duration,plenty time for holidays before or after ...no problem with someone having a holiday but the timing is all wrong eh |

Just where are these pigeons George ?. They will not have any fresh air, crowded, the water facilities pathetic and 100% guarantee the wood will be infested and ideal for losing the majority, not to mention all the health problems they would take home providing any made it. Should be reported to RSPA. How on earth could they be fed ?. Regards. |

Should stop the race George and all claim their money back and ban the one responsible from keeping livestock. Never seen anything like it. Regards. |
