Like I said, Mike,I’m a novice and in my first OB season, which is why I ask the group so many questions. I was told that Hill Ridware flip from fed to fed depending on the wind, you’ve told me different. It’s a minor point for me though. I just want to learn how to compete with the best in the ...

Took me 10 secs to find these examples Pete. Pay particular attention to the wind

Now, I totally understand why Mark is dominating the Fed on both East winds and West winds - but I think that puts me in the minority

You're so wrong there Pete, so let me put you straight

Hill Ridware always skip the first YB race of the season. Their members prefer to go to the Worcester Fed Frome race which is much further, and they're last droppers, so the birds are forced to think for themselves more. "On occasions" they ...

I really ought to look at a map and understand the local geography for myself. But here’s the thing I don’t personally get, Mike - and this is an observation about what’s important to me not a criticism of anyone else - I see clubs in different feds so they switch between one or the other ...

Yes Pete, Hill Ridware will take the top 20 places in the Federation.

Rugeley will always hold all the aces when there's a sniff of East in the wind - these lads are too good to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Another good week for little Jack (see below)




In 4 races of his young career he's ...

Well done. A lot faster than our race too.

That’s good Pete

Best of luck today
Where are you racing from


We were at Frome which 130miles from me give or take. Really pleased with the way they came today - a lot closer together as a group, 40/42 back today - 1st, 5th,6th,7th,8th,9th club (another 4 in the top 20 I think). Sec said the ...

You're right Pete, it's a race - and not everybody can "win"

Winning, and winning consistently requires a certain "mindset" , a certain "approach"

Some guys have it, and some guys don't

There can only be 1 winner, but the way a fancier manages his pigeons, and the approach towards them means ...

Thank you once again everyone for your kind and wise input. I’m in that phase of my first old bird season so have to be like a sponge and consider all options until I find my own way, but at the same time understand that consistency is the only way.

There’s so many different opinions, all valid ...
