HOW MANY prize winners

lol mint..again our clubs the cheapest in the town.yet we have the least members. the least prize money and i wonder why,because like you say most chase the money .if i was in this sport for money i would have packed in years ago.haha

I also agree there are more pigeon keepers and thank god for them too, as without them the sport would be dead.
I know what the question was and I was just pointing out that the question can be misleading because you loose pigeons, so you can have great season with lots of winners but if your a man who races all races and all birds you might just end up with no winners in the loft.

sorry rudd i miss read your post and yes many winners get lost from across the water many multiple winners and we have a few members who send all thats in the loft and they do loose birds weather they were fit enough i dont know thats there choice and maybe no fault of the birds

Pigeon keepers or pigeon racers, we all have a place in this sport I suspect. Strange thing thou on a yearly basis etc we all line up together side by side to get our yearly issue of rings even thou some like to gild the lily in relation to their losses. Now !!!. Winners will always be the minority of birds bred "mathermatical equation" when one thinks about it, so if & when we get one they are rather unique in the over all big picture.

None taken......lol
Yes your right maths do come into it, considering 10 old bird races that 10 winners not that many really.
