Can I ask what the thinking or reason is behind having the breeder buyer on a Thursday night? As a working man who as just finished work, and now over gardens doing the pigeons then will be off home to see our lass and the kids, I won't get tonight which is a shame I went last year on a Sunday and enjoyed it and even purchased a youngen, a think the working man isn't considered enough it situations like this.

I have sent each Federation secretary a list of pick up times , this year we will pick up with 4 wagons instead of 5 saving £170 per race on wages, approx £3,000 over the inland races

Wagon 1 Lemington 6.00. Benwell 6.20. Scotswood 6.00
Greenside. 7.00. Highfield. 7.15. Winlaton. 7.30

For the last few years Peter Jackson from Tynedale has co-ordinated training for the north Feds , Peter has informed me he has retired from doing this, I would like to thank Peter for what he has done for the Amal

I am looking for someone from the north to do the co-ordinating for training , checking weather forecasts and agreeing with the garage when you want to train

Please contact me

Training is on this weekend , fed secretaries have details of approx pick up times
