Good afternoon everyone,
Firstly, apologies for the lack of communication: I’ve been struggling slightly with the technology.
We are now CLOSED for entries and have a final entry number of 546. This is 36.4% of the possible entry, so slightly disappointing, but it will give us a good opportunity to have a good series for the first year at the new location and with myself.
We have 10 school pigeons from across the country.
The loft list was created on Thursday 16th and is 35 pigeons short of the entry number. There is one which has being reported today in Bridlington, 78 miles away. I’m not sure whether that is one of the 35, or whether that one has gone since Thursday.
Those missing at present are:
WHU24F35267, GB24V26411, GB24V26412, GB24V50849, GB24V50818, GB24V12045, GB24V12057, NEHU24BON1000, GB24S05743, GB24V57029, GB24Z10701, GB24A40615, WHU24F01180, GB24B48714, GB24V28546, GB24C49054, GB24V42328, GB24V42331, GB24A67212, GB24V19115, GB24V19120, GB24S31326, GB24S31323, GB24V07433, GB24V24165, GB24C55055, GB24N10147, GB24X03578, GB24N22326, GB24C69210, GB24S30184, GB24A68790, GB24Z27894, GB24S05343.
All 546 pigeons have ventured out of the loft, and there are probably somewhere between 350 and 400 bunched and flying well. The most recent intake pigeons are flitting around, and every day more join the group.
I hope to update with a loft list on Benzing at the end of the week.
