theyre into the second day now rene, who knows...................

they'l be home tomorrow

hope ours drops onto the ets pad at daylight rene.................

Yes fingers crossed

weve finally got some excitement going for this last race..............

wonder what will happen to our bird if/when it homes, will it stay there or be sent back home........?

i think mark has the choice of having the bird back or leaving it there for the yearling races but im not 100% certain on it

ah right, shouldnt think hell want it back as it wont be settled to his lofts...............

now that would be very nice mate depends if hes got a stock loft that none go out mate if not i know a good home for it its called RENE's lofts

well still only one back so far, saw it coming out of the sunrise at 712am, swap shop bird unactivated so next one wins the money, cold first thing but gorgeous now

come on lightning 13 lets be having you

brummels hope is your winner, very tired... congratulations to the winners

yes, well done to the winner................ can we win anything for second

just checked the oneloft results and there are now 7 birds home, not a lot to say how many were sent............wonder why they send unactivated birds to the race ?

3 more prizes to be won, appears they got scattered by the freak storm over kent yesterday when the transporter got off the m25 it belted down for an hour

the bravest of the brave came through today, it was a fantastic feeling seeing the birds dropped and made up for Terry/Jane for all the hard work they put in, 2 days of hell

But from what i saw yesterday & today i will be entering again, but next year defo taking the tent (sleeping in the car was not fun) :

fingers crossed more work in over next few days, ours being one??
we will have to discuss entering into the yearling race if he does make it

yes mark im sure the members would like to discuss the future of the bird and decide if they want to continue with it into the yearling stage................keeping fingers crossed fpr our bird getting back, lets face it the bird has shown guts in the past so it might just manage it this time.

definately count me in for yearling and next year mark, hope you get 1 of prizes this year for your work mate

personally i think these birds of marks will do better as yearlings/obs, the bird which won the national for him wasnt a yb......so given time to mature we might see a big difference in the results next season.

just my opinion.............

still showing only 7 home from the final race, anyone know more................

One bird home to day Telford Lads well done to them the race will be staying open until Friday to give the birds a chance to get home and take the prizes if not all prize money taken it will go on to next year

its been a disaterous weekend of racing all together that big one from here Ginge they had 44 out of 2000 the other two libs i done it turned out 5/148 and 20/180 on the day and not many work backs today either

Trouble is they had north east wind and now its getting colder and youngbirds dont like it on there nose I,m glad that I am finshed raceing as the birds are going into a moult I have three here and the poor buggers have not had a chance they are falling apart I thinke they would be better going earlyer so the birds have a chance no wonder there is a lot of birds getting lost after all they are only babyes if only pepole would think of the birds instead of there self I have herd some say I have too many they got to go the easy ansure to that is dont bred so many

totaly agree mate no bird young or old dont like it on the nose or when the wind is in the east

When the wind is on the nose they dont like it for the first time you will lose more that way than any other and over water for the first time
