Let's hope it's all worth the effort I'm of to bed now get some kipp if I can night all

Weird 5.30 am No way Steve this little duck would play that game you play there to race your pigeons . With all that being said though I wish you all the best on the day there.

Simple knackerd its called dedication as and when i join the national flying club and the b.i.c.c. again. then i will have to go in the middle of the night to get there in time for basketing. I would like life to be Easter but if that is what I have to do then so be it

good luck edgie, will be keeping an eye out for you in the results...

Should be a good race. The wind and weather is forcast to be very good

yeah all the best pal, hoping to have a crack at mnfc myself nxt year glad I opposite side of country to you

Vire birds liberated 8.45 am light n.w. I reckon 7 hours to me could be sooner

good luck to ya

good luck edgie, will keep a look out on the results as they come in...

Watch this space that's all it may be they should be on the channel by now

I fully understand the dedication bit Steve . Differance I suspect between being a pigeon racer or a lover etc & I can tell you the pigeon lover got hammered here today "Big time" .

going soft in your old age knackered........

 Yes  Sadly, I just couldn't stand the pain & pressure anymore etc David . You may need to be careful though   as your time may eventually come I suspect    .

my time already came knackered, I couldn't and wouldn't kill any pigeon, I don't even like to kill a spider or a fly unless I have to....... any sort of animal cruelty or abuse makes me angry.

so I`ll never make a successful pigeon racer eh...

Got my mealy hen at 5.04.14 and thanks everybody

well done edgie, glad to hear you clocked......I see the winner sent 40 birds...and flew 281 miles.

Great news Edgie

well done
