Olr new in Uk

[Devo1956]

So there is a new OLR starting in the Uk. it will be run by a very top quality flyer. Now we know some members dont like OLR, but for the ones that do. You can look at this one and make your choice. £1000 per bird entry.

£1000 per bird don't think they will get many entries at that price

It will sell out very fast Buster, the start of a premier league of top flyers.

The Top fanciers have NO part in the event. They just enter birds. If I bought a YB from Mark Gilbert and entered it, Who is the person entering? Me or Mark Gilbert?

And who thinks this is good money? They take in £250,000 and pay out just £120,000 based on 200 birds. And they cream off £130,000 to run it?

I will leave my comments until later, to give other members to give their views.

There are 135 youngsters, already entered in this OLR. It is part of the Northern premier auctions.

Good luck to them but it will only be supported by fanciers who can afford to lose between £1,000 - £10,000 (big difference from £250 which is still a lot) and what is this OLR going to be any different from any other OLR but with only 250 birds and the losses these OLR are experiencing someone is going to be siting in clover. It will be interesting to see who these flyers will be but more than likely flyers involved with the NPA

I agree these margins are ridiculous. Me and my father been through this for years because we are planning to start on OLR aswell. And if you are not a completely greedy ***** you can fly out about 70%~ of the money and thats counting in no sponsoring for food etc if you get all of this sponsored you could fly out even more and still walk away with good money.
