St Boswells 06/08/2011

Sun, 07 Aug 2011 07:10:44 GMT

Another terrible race with a lot of losses.

Because I have only three pigeons home I am calling a halt to the KOLR as it is pointless sending three pigeons.

The winning pigeon are:

SU 11 9549 DC C

SU 11 9554 CH

SU 11 9567 BCH

These birds flew St Boswells which is being used as the Final

I wish to thank all who participated and appologise for the curtailment but the Federation sent only 154 birds and I do not expect any increase in birdage this week.

I am so disappointed the Kingslea One Loft Race will not continue next year as I cannot handle the disasters we are having

Good luck to you all for 2012

St Boswells 06/08/2011

St Boswells race today and my club has a grand total of 28 pigeons away to the race which has never happened in my life time. I just wonder how many the Federation will have? Quite sure it will be less than 150 which is a sad reflection on pigeon racing in Aberdeen. I am at the moment awaiting information on the liberation time and hoping for a good race.

The birds away today are:

Su 11 AB 1912

SU 11 9541

SU 11 9567

SU 11 AB 1926

SU 11 9566

SU 11 9554

SU 11 9549

I have a further 3 unfit to fly.

As in the race programme the birds have a free week from racing.

The club and Fed had a race from St Boswell which was another very bad race.

Thats two weeks in a row we have had Very bad results we have 5 races to go and wonder if I can finish the programme.

But as the rules state I will pay out on the last race with birds home if I get a race with no returns

My club Sunnybank R P C had almost 400 birds last week, this week less than 80 and this is the biggest club in Aberdeen.

I cannot remember having so much exceptionally bad young bird races and I am not alone.

Kingslea One loft Race 2011

Sun, 22 May 2011 05:27:07 GMT

!st March 2011 and the first of the babies are 5 days old, I looked at them today for the first time they will be needing rings fitted in the next few days I have purchased Life Rings with ETS attached as a trial and I am very pleased with them, they are compact compared to having to wear two rings.

Old birds are out flying and bathing and looking well, just lets hope the weather remains like this for a few weeks.I will post pictures of the babies and parents soon. After last year the birds are in fine fettel soon be time to get some testing done. Thursday the 3rd March and I have rung the first of the youngsters between now and Monday 7th March I should have a fair few to ring.

Rules 2011

Thu, 10 Mar 2011 18:12:40 GMT

Birds

Only birds bred at the loft will be used for this race. No birds from outside lofts will be entered, this is to reduce the likeliehood of medical problems occurring. For 2011 I will not be bringing in gift pigeons.
The birds will be owned and raced in the name of Coutts Evans & McKay.
All of the birds will be on the darkness system.

Payment

To be made on or before the draw on 29th May or withdrawl will ensue.

Syndicates

Each syndicate will have a maximum of 40 entries, plus one in house 'gift' pigeon.
There will be no limit on the number of syndicates.
Any individual, club or business can purchase a bird. Why not buy a bird for club funds?

Raffle & Gift Pigeons

It is anticipated that there will be one 'gift' pigeon per syndicate, and the 'owner' of this pigeon will be decided by raffle.
The raffle will be drawn at the Barbecue on Sunday 29th May 2011. (2pm - 5pm)

Prize Money

Each entry will cost £60. This includes a free entry into the raffle.
Each syndicate will have the following prize money at the final race;
1. First prize £1000
2. Second prize £500
3. Third prize £250
There will be 7 training races with the Aberdeen Federation (see race programme) each with a £50 prize for the first bird home (one race has been dropped)
Should I get £200 from a generious sponsor it will go to prize money for the (dropped) race

Charity school syndicates will have the following prize money
1. First prize £1000
2. Second prize £500
3. Third £300
4. Fourth £250
It is hoped to again have sponsors for each training race to the tune of £50.

Racing

All of the birds will compete in club racing.
All of the birds will be recorded by the ETS system and race marked at the Sunnybank R.P.C. or as applicable to the Aberdeen Federation.
All training races and the final race will be with the Aberdeen Federation.
The final race being the last Aberdeen Federation young bird race, all birds left that are fit will be sent to the race.
In the event of a race being cancelled, that race will be discarded completely.
In the event of the final race being cancelled, the last race flown will be used to payout the prize money. This will guarantee that the prize money will be paid out.
The Aberdeen Federation's race controller's decision is final and binding.

Lost Birds

It is hoped to replace lost birds (where possible) before the first race so everyone has the opportunity to participate in the event. This is the same as previous years.

Decisions

Any queries or decisions not accounted for will be made by the loft manger (Ian McKay) and will be final and binding.

Conclusion

This race is being run to generate interest in pigeon racing NOT for profit. It is hoped to have a complimentary barbecue on Sunday 29th May to draw the birds and raffle. We also hope to have a complimentry barbecue at the last race 3rd September

Anyone willing to sponsor any part of this race should contact me via the details below.

Adjustments to the rules may be made before the inception of the race.

Race programme 2011

Sun, 06 Mar 2011 13:49:04 GMT

The race programme as set by the Aberdeen Federation will be 8 races as there is an additional race in the young bird programme I need a sponsor (£200) for the 4 syndicates (£50) each or I need to drop one race. At this moment in time I will propose to drop race 3 from the Federation programme this being the worst race in the Federation young bird programme last year as this is when we meet in with about 13 other Federations.

So the programme for 2011 will be:

16/07/2011 Thornton

23/07/2011 Thornton

30/07/2011 No race unless I get a sponsor (£200)

06/08/2011 St Boswells

13/08/2011 Alnwick

20/08/2011 Alnwick

27/08/2011 Witton Castle

03/09/2011 Ripon The Final

Refunds for fees 2010

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 16:35:48 GMT

I have now completed the refund process. I have refunded all new entrants, Clubs and all outsiders. I thought this was the fairest way to go about it, if you have not given me your address please do so and I will send your refund.

A lot of people have indicated they want their fee left for next year which I have done.

The Kinglea One Loft Race will be running next year.

Synopsis so far

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 12:10:57 GMT

Ater getting the all clear for the birds I thought things would get better but life ain't like that, I had a cat visit the loft killing one bird and maiming another. Those that escaped did not come in for two nights. After sorting that out it was down to training missing the first race then joining in on the second one (St Boswells) well that was a major error as the Federation had a disaster with very poor returns I lost 30 from 53 sent.

Sending to the second race things looked like improving but we had North/easterly winds which the birds do not like so was surprised to gain 2nd Club and 3rd Fed sending 18 with 14 home on the day.

I am still getting birds returned from the St Boswells race so can only hope they keep comming. Looking back at the events I now realise it was the right decision to cancel the event.

I will keep racing and letting you know how I get on.

KOLR Cancellation

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 08:42:50 GMT

I have taken the decision to cancel the Kingslea One Loft Race because of continual problems within the loft which seem never ending. This decision has not been made lightly but has to be made before I try and race the birds then all sorts of problems arise.

Everyone who was to participate will get a full refund.

This may seem to be a drastic step but I would rather do that than try to continue knowing something is not right. I am not blaming anyone or anything because I am in charge of the loft and birds. I have had them tested, droppings and throat swabs. Droppings came back clear but the cultures indicated a bacterial infection. Treatment has been given and the birds are flying well but I have lost confidence in them which leads me to this decision.

I know I have let all of you down but would rather do the right thing and return fees paid than try to blunder my way through racing which is questionable. Looking back on Old bird racing I have to question how long I have had the problem.

As regard the private syndicate, most of you who know me, will agree that I have had to think about this long and hard. My integrity is most important to me.

PB & KOLR is a syndicate which started for members and friends of Pigeon Basics which is the premier internet pigeon forum in the UK

All participants will get there fee returned if it has been paid. I will need PB members to PM me your address please.

The birds, as you can see from pictures on the website, look in great health but I know this not to be the case.

School Syndicates: The prize fund is quite safe in the treasurers account I have contacted 80 schools by E-mail, sent 80 letters and got very few replies which is disappointing

This money was raised by pigeon fanciers to promote our hobby and that is what it will be used for hopefully next year.

I have kept pigeons since 1972 and never been through a year like this. The most frustrating thing about it is not knowing what to do. I will get more testing done to see if I can pin point the problem but as racing starts on Saturday 24th July it will be too late to save KOLR for 2010.

I can only hope you understand my frustration but cannot / will not start to race because this starts the payouts and would be unfair if I could not complete the program.

Should things sort themselves out, I may race some birds but not until I know they are all OK.

Finally may I apologize to all concerned?

I will look very carefully at this turn of events and decide where I go from here.
