LANARKSHIRE FEDERATION
Tom Corrie jnr
This week we had two races available to members on the same day. Kelso was a non-average race for those who wished a short spin for pigeons that they felt weren't ready for a 300 miles race from Buckingham. The members supported the Kelso race with an excellent convoy of 2,500 birds.
The Kelso race was liberated at 0700hrs in a light south west wind. The winners took around 1hr 25 minutes to cover the 60 odd miles and the returns were excellent. Well done to Tommy McDonagh our race controller/Convoyer for his excellent care and attention. Tommy also generously sponsored the race and again we thank him for his support.
Tam McDonagh wins Blantyre club ,Kelso race
The membership thanks big Tam and our federation Secretary Jim Cameron for their dedication and work for the members!
Jim Cameron (L) wins Uddingston & Dist Kelso race
The Buckingham race was a Thursday marking and central marking with SNFC convoy. The birds were liberated with over 4,500 birds taking to the Skye at 06 45 in a light south wind in lovely weather. It turned out to be a most testing flight for the majority of the convoy, with a large amount of the covoy not homing on the night. More unhappy fanciers than happy with this really difficult race.
Tam Richardson (L) had a brilliant day winning 1st Open Lanarkshire Federation from Buckingham race &1st section SNFC
The federation winner was timed at 13 13hrs into Newmains for Tam Richardson. The winner is a yearling blue hen who recorded a 1300ypm which was a country mile in front of the others. Tam is working away at moment and unfortunately no details at present of the winner. Well done Tam and the icing on the cake was the section win for Tam in the SNFC.
Again, members are not getting the credit they deserve as i have a lack of photos of the winners, so club secretaries please ask to take a wee photo and send to myself.
