Definately a plus for this site etc, in my view. One suspects now ?????? there is going to be a lot of stirring/fun & enjoyment when the games/racing begins.

I have had a closer look at the money situation if there is plenty of birds left for the final race why not split it

£300 for 1st
£150 for 2nd
£100 for 3rd
£50 for 4th

I KNOW YOU WILL ALL GO MAD AT ME SORRY

But just trying to spread the money so there is an extra prize at no extra cost plus it looks good for the site

I UNDERSTAND IF I GET SHOUTED AT BIG SORRY FOR CAUSING TROUBLE

Don !!!!!!!! what I mean is etc, when I mentioned stirring/fun & enjoyment above. Sean replied never never never with a attached. Now !!!!!!!!! not that I know sean, but by his comments I suspect he is stretching the truth (telling a porky) some what. in that he will remain mute (impossible), when we get around to the friendly banter, which we will be having here, when the races begin.

I wouldn't shout at you Don, but I think the horse has bolted I'm afraid with your late entry etc. Save it up for next year, but make sure you get your entry in early .

Knackered for me sean is a top bloke and yes when the banter flyes he will be giving as good as he gets but thats all good fun mate and thats the best side of the sport all good fun with no hard feelings and offence comments

cannot be many left now to vote,so i would close it in the next 24 hours.then it finishen once and for all

If you know how many are left to vote add it up can the other catagories win now? might not be enough votes left so you could close it now think we know the winner...

looks like the most popular choice for the test loft payout is £350 first prize, £150 second prize and £100 third prize......so judging by the % of votes this poll recieved it looks like this will be the payout, wont be long now untill the yb season starts...good luck to all who have entered  

that,ll be the way david....mint

it was decided by the test loft members to have 3 prizes for the last race
300 200 100
in the event only one bird gets back in race time will this bird win all the prize money
in the event only 2 birds should get back will they split the 3rd prize between them
in the event no birds arrive on the day how long should it be left open for a bird to arrive ie 2 daYS


if after this time none have arrived what will happen to the prize fund

we have five members left with 1 bird each and 2 races to go

so i think you need to decide this before the final race takes place and a answer before
the result of this weeks race to be fair to them thats left in

If no birds come back why not donate it to Rays club for the partially sighted?

there are plenty options  but if none come back send me it and i,ll drink it  but dont think folk will aggree with that  either donate to charity or  put it into site funds  or throw it on the table at blackpool  for who ever goes to have a drink   what ever is decided is fione by me   sean

not having a bird left in the test loft i think i can only comment on the if no birds return option the others should be decided by the remaining entrants ...if none return 50 should go to the site ,50 to the loft manager to get him and his better half a drink for all the hardwork and heartbreak endured and the rest donated to a charity/charities of there choice in the sites name jmho pete

If only 1 bird in race time, absolutely should it take all, that's what its all about.
If 2 birds then each collect their respective prizes and the outstanding 3rd prize money given to the loft manager for his efforts.
If no bird in race time then i think 2 days is plenty of time and if still no returnee the money should be split equally between all competitors of the FINAL race including the loft manager.

Deadline for returnee's could be Monday lunchtime after a saturday race???

This way everyone involved can do what they like with their winnings and G can put a little towards replacing what should have been a decent team for next year.

Just an idea

winner takes all if only one bird makes it...i,m sure one or two will ..if not on the day give it 3 days or something
