Only fear is this new system that’s a risk to me

hope it works out ok

Hard to get motivated when you see the state pigeon racing is in .

I am hoping to get 1 or maybe 2 birds to Barcelona this year if they stay fit and well.
If I don't make Barcelona I will try to get them into Perpignan a little later in the season.
I have 3 or 4 to go to Pau and I would like my yearlings to go to Bordeaux.
BUT you all know what it's like "best laid plans" and all that.!!!
To get birds back would be amazing but to get them in the clock would be a dream season for me.

I struggle to get really motivated when north rd here is awful racing huge radius for true sprint racing south rd brilliant sprint racing but gone from alot of clubs to just a few now ,,
Just struggling to get motivated,,

Really looking forward to racing can’t wait for summer to get here. Yes there are fewer members but my goodness the competition is as sharp if not sharper than ever. In two weeks I’ll be in Blackpool and for a sport that’s supposedly dying daft amounts of money will be paid for pigeons. So C’mon lads be positive we’re all still alive and part of a great sport it’s up to us to make the most of it.

You don't need to change the loft m8 that might be a big mistake.

Remember John Chipperfield changed he's roof on loft ,me and Colin fagg was doing he's mother inlaw patio n in the conversation he said about it Remember him saying never change a winning loft n told the story about he's roof he changed and regretted it.

my goal is too get my house renovated lol and put more work into my car youtube channel

Goals for 2026,

So last season I only raced the young bird season, and for the most part had two birds completed the full course apart from one of the birds falling in the last race.

So this season I aim to compete, not just make up numbers, but want to actually be further up the sheets this time around! I believe I did a lot of learning last year, and most importantly admitted to myself that perhaps I don't know as much as I believe I did!

A goal for my YouTube channel would be to reach 1000 Subscribers, and be consistent with putting out more videos that people enjoy!

As for LoftBuddy, I want to continue to grow the app, and show people that it's a useful tool for everyone!
