Hopefully more people do join the forum and join in the chat, I started on here a few months back and now have a loft and birds in it which I have wanted for years. If I can do it so can many others.
I found contacting a few fanciers telling them my interest in the sport and keeping in touch following their race season through old birds and Y/Bs they then sorted me out some late breds and a few stock birds which was great as I only paid for the delivery of the birds.
So I find this forum and speaking to people in the sport really helps I can't complain

The Uk pigeon racing header, needs a upgrade. With a more clear photo of racing pigeons.
We are all different but equal, and respect should be given to all members.
Olr is here to stay, so get involved in topics if you agree with them. If you dont well the topic is not for you.
Selling birds and auctions is a part of the sport, if you dont believe me. Take a trip to one of the shows.
The forum is here for all to enjoy, so make the most of it. and if you can help by giving advice please do.
Different forums have closed over the last yers, dont let this one follow.
The forum is only as good. if all the members are involved in the game. Just like any football team.
If it looks interesting, people will want to get involved. And not pass by.

well said Devo, so many point to cover there but you have covered them well mate.
I have still been following the Auction Danny pointed out there's a couple on the I like so could be an early Christmas present off the Mrs, she doesn't know that yet hahaha
Respect others is a main point, yes where all different, we all have different opinions but we should all be respectful of each other.
OLR I can't fault I have enjoyed them over the last 2 years as I didn't have any birds but I think it helped me make my decision to have a clear out move my other birds on the last lot went today and that way I can concentrate on the pigeons.

I can only repeat what I said.
We need to make an effort, keep posting stuff that is positive, helpful and informative. Make the forum busy and welcoming.
Let's face it, the way it's been not many would be bothered getting on board.
It's up to us to make the effort, people.

Best to look at the positive side of things as best as we can.
The more we all get involved the better the forum will be
Hopefully coming in to the quiet part of the season it would be interesting to hear what you all get up to.
I now hove the last section of the loft free for me to work on as I have the late breds in the new section 6ft x 6tf with aviary and trap.
Middle section has my stock birds and boxes in (at the moment)
now I have the 3rd section to work on, not sure if I'm going to move the stock birds to this section as I will need this bigger space for breeding and use the middle section for any Y/Bs I breed next year, what are your thoughts on this ?
