HONITON RACE
THIS IS NOT WHAT WE WANTED TO START THE RACE PROGRAMME OFF ! THE BIRDS WERE LIBERATED AT 8AM AND CIRCLED UNTIL 8.10AM THEN HEADED S-WEST AND WHEN THE FIRST BATCHOF 60+ ARRIVED I ASSUMED IT WAS GOING TO BE A GOOD TRAINER BUT AFTER THE 2ND AND 3RD BATCHES DROPPED IT JUST STOPPED THEN OF COURSE IT STARTED TO GET HOTTER AND HOTTER REACHING 33 DEGREES AT IT'S PEAK BUT THERE WERE A FEW GALLANT PIGEONS THAT KEPT COMING BUT AS YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE STILL 75 PIGEONS MISSING AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL COOL DOWN AND RAIN IS EXPECTED TONIGHT SO WE MIGHT GET A FEW DOZEN HOME TOMORROW.
I WILL UP DATE THE WEB AS THE DAY GOES BY.
SPARE OR REPAIR PIGEONS
I HAVE ALWAYS OFFERED SPARES TO THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE LOST THEIR ENTRIES HOWEVER AFTER THIS TRAINER I WILL HAVE TO CREATE A ALL BIRD LOST SYNDICATE FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE LOST THEIR ENTIRE TEAM.
THANK YOU

Good Morning all
The birds were out this morning at 8:45 and flew for 1hr 10 extremely well it was a pleasure to watch they were then brought down and in and fed for the Race tomorrow from Honiton 45miles, as you can see from the basket list there are 270 birds on the list although 10 of these will not go tomorrow as i feel a 15 miles trainer will do these at the moment then I'll put them back into the main loft and back on track for the 60 miler on Sunday.There are also 2 pigeons with flight damage, 1 with a dropped wing and 1 with a broken leg apart from that this team is in good shape and should provide us with some exciting racing in the next 8 weeks.
Lost pigeons !!!!!
Those of you that have lost their pigeons and have contacted me please wait untill the first Ace Pigeon Race on Sunday and after I have replaced those that have lost all their entries competely I will allocate you a spare FOC but if you have 2 out of 3 or 4 out of 6 etc then i don't feel you need a replacement and won't allocate. I am doing this as a token jesture not as a rule, I hope you all understand this.
Thank You and Good Luck tomorrow
