   You must fly with the BBC mate,whats your take on Palomas V Barcelona,cant understand you boys going with Barcelona and having false result nearly every year?

nothing false about it there all up together and if your a member of both clubs whats wrong with duplicating , pigeon fanciers can work it out them selfs where the good pigeons are plus you can,t be at both marking stations at the same time .

I now fly in a club G/C, with a bloke here we all call "the magican"     an absolute wizard for clocking in the dark & winning the long hard races at Fed level, when nobody else see's a feather till the next day type of thing. He has done it for years here etc. I beat him at the weekend     but he worries me       come the 5/600 mile races at the end of the season, because I suspect I may be in some trouble somewhat.  

must be some buzz to get one into the night ...now that's spirited pigeons of the highest order to keep going into the night after a long slog

did not mean duplcation kev...just mean cant understand bbc members flying barcelona instead of palomas....most years dover boys clock hours before west section lads because of drag not class...bit different flying palomas no drag ..more truthful result...

Will have to agree with your comment GC

Yes G/C I will agree with to an extent but not allways the Dover boys win it, last year Manor Lofts Southamton won John Hualstead as won if the bird is out in front its going to win one of the main things is to get the bird right and get it home when you get 500 birds with 25,000 the drag is going to come in to it, but with that many going and all coming this round about same way its good shorly for the birds Palomos is nice must admit Iv won the section twice but I think the more the better chances are, but thats my way of thinking

very true grizz , but even if they flew from palamous with that prevaling west wind all the way home like it was all over the weekend they would have been pushed over to the east with the drag any way plus the channel was rained out all weekend as well so the english birds have had a tough race .
