"The 5 senaro" that's how many mobs etc ours were split into Rick  by the falcons when our birds were released for our first race last week here. Our liberation was that bad, where looking for greener pastures     this week else where. A certain nutter from up Killers way "Brothers a pigeon Vet" was on the phone to our leader, telling how he should be doing things. Pity he showed a wee bit of diplomacy while talking to him, as I would have told the nutter to clean up his own back yard "Big time" after last year up there     before he got on the phone ranting about other Federation's issues/problems etc with his wisdom ???.

Knackered you must be talking of the Vets twin Brother the Tooth Fairy he's about 100 miles North of us ;you should listen to him re Smash race's etc ;he's Fed as had some Nasty one's over the past few years ;But the same Bloke as he's Pearly Whites firmly inbeded in breeding Fed Winners for a Couple of Guys in that Fed ;he was also a Backer of KS imports & the Stud down your way ;you must learn to listen to wise men

We basketed tonight for wetherby. I've only sent 1,
I can't see them being let up tomorrow but Sunday doesn't look much better.

Probably the right thing Mark, I've sent one that hasn't been performing, I've wound him up a bit and given him a chance,

yeah its touch n go mark ...Portland is only 62 miles for us so we could go as late as 4 in the afternoon and it does seem ok at Portland tomorrow but last 20 miles will be very overcast but for you I think it was a good call not sending atb

Always prepared to listen K to one that is on the wise side of things But people who tend to put ones foot in ones mouth like the man/nutter in question I will always give a very short space of time too even if he does have a pocket full of money .  

portland not a good race point at 62 mls with all the raptors hope they get back safe and sound daz and good luck to all members sending this weekend

we race Portland nearly every week as a self supporting race or in the race programme if we never sent to Portland we would only race about 6 races in the old bird season ...I wish they would change the race point but pigeon organisations seem to do their utmost to make things difficult

wolverhampton fed liberated at portland at 3.00pm worcester fed and gloucester fed held down south watch out with your young birds if loosing them out tomorrow to any body south of the midlands

thanks for that mark they will come over the top of here ......we are not sending to Coventry the mrs is not well so that's it for me this season on the north

Your right what you say, but the pigeons never had a chance in my eyes, it just goes to show when everyone held he is the only one to lib but that's pigeon flying

May be some what tough for the birds there Mark . Good drinking weather tho while waiting for them etc .

where racing 2 races this weekend. 1 from arniston 124 miles. 2nd race is from Newark on trent. 330 miles.

good luck to all the lads racing this week

I think our members birds have had a hard time over this season, Its good to to know that their birds have been wanting to return. To their loft for the care and attention they receive, Its a credit to all our members working in the partnership of this sport. Well done to all, hope they come home safe and well.

All the best to everyone racing this weekend
