Buckie RPC
News from Gavin Russell who writes ‘We were at Ripon for a race on the 2nd June was cancelled due to bad weather the birds were brought back home after chasing the weather all the way up the road. The following week we again went to Ripon for race of approximately 251 miles. The birds were liberated at 10-15 into a moderate north east wind. Winning 1st club and 1st federation is Ian Coull with a yearling mealy hen doing a velocity of 1381 she is from a Paul Woolliss crossed
Venner of Street. This is the 2nd time this year this hen has topped the federation . She was sitting on her 1st eggs paired to another hen and is a ‘cracking wee doo’. Ian is 2nd club with a 2 year blue hen doing a velocity of 1073.6 she is a Scott Irving of Brydekirk direct bird flying natural. 3rd club is John Cumming with a yearling blue white flight doing a velocity of 1073.4 a Stuart Maskame of Peterhead bird sent flying natural. Overall a very hard race with quite a few empty perches at clock checking that’s it for this week cheers Joe yours Gavin Russell’.
Good SNFC Birds
My first bird highlighted is ‘Victorious Victor’ raced by Victor Couper of Dennyloanhead I’ve covered him last year in this feature on good SNFC birds; but Victor wrote to me this week saying ‘Hi Joe, I would like to inform you that my good chequer cock ‘Victorious Victor’ the cock that won a bronze meritorious award in 2017 has scored again from the bad Buckingham race finishing 8th section E and 244th open and he wins £858.35 for his efforts.
