Life in Bendigo.
Good news MuzzaMurray wrote: ↑Sun Jul 10, 2022 1:01 am In a bit of a new development, after several unsettled years among the bendigo pigeon flyers, there has been a split. The old Bendigo Invitation club has reformed.
I asked about joining, was told I am already approved, and they asked if I would be interested in being the secretary. I said "why not?'". So I am.
I have done it before, it's not hard.
So that's been an interesting morning.
Good luck mate, I hope all goes well for you.
Looking forward to watching your season unfold
We will have to see what happens and what other club members want to do. We could keep the club going. I would be happy to take on the secretary job. I was the secretary of Bodmin when down in Cornwall. Otherwise I could go to Gillingham, which is much closer than Frome anyway.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.
I couple of months ago I put this up, the youngster really started to impress me.
About 9 or 10 weeks later,
Greetings from the land down under.
I took the cock birds for the first toss since the winter.
12 yearlings, and 2 two year olds.
It always seems strange, on the 1st of August race horses and pigeons have a birthday. So my young birds are now yearlings.
They had been fairly well educated before the winter.
Most of them are paired up, a few of them are on eggs, and others are courting. So I was pleased to see that most of them trapped reasonably quickly on their first go.
When the excitement of that had settled down, I let them all out, and they flew and played for 2 hours before finally all dropping in.
I couldn't be more pleased.
