One man’s enjoyment is another man’s misery in my experience

Yea, well, sometimes you have to just look past the negatives and have a go at something. :D

You always know your going places, when you get the knockers. But I guess that is life, and I only share with others I value.

Mike it is a known fact, OLR is not looked at in the racing pigeon sport by some. I don't think I put your name in my post did I.?

No, I just asked "who's knocking" ?

There are some guys who have an interest in OLR and that's the only way that they have an active interest in the Sport, and I recognise that

A mate of mine Mark Ward doesn't race, only goes in One Loft Races and has done so with super success

I'm like a lot of other fanciers though, I really couldn't give a flying f^ck about One Loft Races to be honest

I don't go looking for One Loft results. Sometimes I get sent them, and of course I need a working knowledge of them sometimes in the course of my work outside of my normal job

You sure your project has been knocked
I haven’t seen anyone do that
To be honest I know nothing about only Murray is adding stock to his loft and keeping you in the loop
I’m not sure if that’s the project though

Mike, in the past years, I have had members say to me that OLR is not really racing pigeons. Also, you told me you did at one time, you did OLR, but not anymore. So yes, there have sometimes been knockers, but also members giving me support in my ventures. So, at the end of the day, it is what I choose to do in my quality time. I hope this covers your Question.

I've been involved in 2 OLR since 2007 - both occasions I came out of the "project" with a handsome profit but I got no enjoyment from them so didn't go into that environment again

Here's an example of Mark's success.

He enjoys it and is a wealth of knowledge in the One Loft environment
