Good Luck

Yea, me too.
I think there about two thousand, more or less, in the Melbourne OLR, and a lot, not sure of final ring sales, in the Horsham breeder/buyer race.
If we can get a good result in either of them I'll be pleased.
I'm just keeping myself entertained with club racing, but there are large numbers, like 5000, released in the combine.
It's all new this year.
I've been told that it can take up to five years with a new location and a new team, if you are careful.Ten years if you aren't.
I might not have five years.
So I hope we can at least get an indication that we are sort of on track.

All I'm asking for is to see a catalogue of your wins from recent years because that's what I thought you was referring to earlier

"You show me yours I'll show you mine"

Preferably not just Club wins either

This is the first time I ever won the Federation

I was 11 years old then

1,023 birds. Velocity 1193ypm

Yea I was waiting for that
I live in the bush in Australia. For the last ten years I haven't even belonged to a Fed, because there isn't one!
I am not a city flyer with 50 clubs and 10 Federations.
I am a place where there are 12 flyers spread over 50 miles.
I could dig out my results for the last few years, modest as they are, but last year I didn't race. The previous year I ended up third or fourth, I cant remember, on the ladder with about 25 pigeons, while the blokes ahead of me each had 150 to 250 pigeons. When I won a race with one out of the three I sent, some unpleasant comments made their way back to me!
Racing here is not about cards and skiting.
Racing here is about having pigeons that will fly on their own and dodge the falcons.
City racing is very much big money and big names. I live a little bit too far out in the bush now.

Morning Mike, what a thrill at that young age, & a cracker of a pigeon .
Regards Dave.

Yes, you know what they say "You always remember your first"

[MIL]

Statistically this is the most birdage I ever won against; but I wouldn't class him as one of the best 100 I ever raced

2020 was our last year due to Dad dying, so we decided we'd have a little dabble at the 2 NMCC Channel races as a tribute to him as he always loved the water

Great pigeons, great memories.
