No, it's a shame you got rid of all your old records mate. It is what it is, they gave you great pleasure at the time and your lines are still in others lofts today
Just continue enjoying and making the most of your new ventures mate 
Yes Trev, all my old pedigrees, But i still have the one of the red cock. The one that George had.
A disappointing race for me yesterday. I had thought that they would have done much better this weekend.
This is our club result and my returns.
I did have 2 together and after timing these 2 had several birds flying over with some circling before going on again.
First on the pad was the Blue pied cock from Buster. The second was a late bred from 2 years ago that has been coming well this season. The third bird was the late bred from last year that is still carrying the 5 nest flights. He has been improving every week. His first race was 4 weeks ago. This was the first time he had even seen a basket let alone been trained or raced. He was next day from that one. Since then he has gone every week. 118 miles, 128 miles and now 168 miles. Could be one for the future.
There were a few empty perches though including one member who lost one that had topped the combine twice. Apparently the convoyer said that just a short way down the road after liberation there was a torrential downpour.
I’m not looking to make excuses but mine have not been on a consistent routine for a while with what’s been going on in my life. Not helped by the changing from Saturdays to Sundays racing due to the weather and not even knowing where we’re going to be racing from until late in the week. We have 2 funerals next week which will mean me not even being here next Sunday and Monday. I don’t think things are going to get much better personally for a few weeks. We only have 4 old bird races left and although I have enjoyed racing them back on widowhood I am thinking I may repair them and race the last few races on natural on open loft.
What are members thoughts on this?

Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.
Why not?
The pigeons have had a disrupted preparation and now have had a tough race.
You have had a very tough time personally.
I would certainly let them pair up, and if it is all too hard I would just call it a day on the old bird racing. It's all about priorities, and the pigeons are not number one.
The good news is you have a team of young birds to concentrate on, so you just have to make a call based on what's right for you.
