Welcome to the International flying club
    WELSH NATIONAL FLYING CLUB                                     MESSAC

            scammel & peploe

        1st open welsh national f.c

                          messac

thursday 12th june and once again basketing was  under way for the welsh national flying clubs latest french adventure from the town of messac an average distance of approx 275 miles to most lofts

 with the welsh contingent once again meeting up with the west of england combine transporter the birds had a swift and safe crossing and were soon reported on site at 4.45 pm on fri afternoon, with nothing out of the ordinary to report,the conveyor  highlighted the high temperatures during the trip and with that in mind constantly replenished the drinkers with a  supply of fresh water throughout , with the birds fed and left to rest, and with yet another scorching day forecast on saturday  there were high prospects that a 5.30 am liberation was on the cards to try and aviod the pigeons having to not only overcome the distance  but aviod the most warmest part of the day .

saturday morning and with the drinkers once again freshened up and after a final check on the conditions the 2,500 (approx) pigeons were liberated at 06.30 into a light warm northerly wind and clear blue skies ,reported to be turning more north /north easterly over the channel and onto the south coast  of the uk 

leading the field for the second time this year is the on form loft of scammel and peploe of pontypool timing in at 12.58 59 with a winning velcity of 1082 ,the partnerships pigeon is a 2yr old light cheq roundabout cock,which is bred down from thier ,well known pigeon "the nearly cock "which has become something of a celebrity after siring many highly profiled pigeons not only for this partnership but for many others in various organisations  ,added to this pigeon bloodlines is a cross with the vandenebelle of m & d evans ,this cock has flown in every overseas race this year and has now jioned an elite group of loft mates that have recorded a highly successful season to date with results inc 2x1st welsh nfc 1st wsrn,2x2nd and 4th bicc .

THE 2014 WINNING PIGEON MESSAC 2014 FLYING 276 MILE WITH A VEL 1082
PictureMR & MRS I BROMLEY 2ND OPEN MESSAC
its just a short drive  from the winner ,for 2nd open at  another pontypool  loft that  of mr & mrs ian & tracey  bromly ,whom timed in their entry at 12.02 with a velocity of 1067 ,ian informs me that theres not a lot to say about the background of thier pigeon which hasnt already been published ,as it `s bred down through the lines of the "nearly cock" from their good friends scammel and peploe ,all that could be noted is that with this cheq hen being a four year old she has flown consistanly over the years taking many club and federation honours
                                                

Picturem& j hughes 3rd open messac
for 3rd open its west over the valley to our 2014 maidstone winners mathew and joseph hughes from treharris who timed in thier 3 yr old  mealy cock at 13.02.22 with a vel 1065 the origin of this their arrival originates from pigeons purchased from   marc and lilly verhyde crossed with the same family from past combine and national winning loft of  wyn jenkins of neath this cock has been to every race this year including three channel racees withsome outstanding performances for the partnership inc 30th  wnfc caretan 8th fougeres and now 3rd messac

 4th open its the bargoed loft of iddy davies who timed in at 13.09 with a vel of 1050.14  this pigeon originates from john sparry of newport and was gifted to iddy along with few others to try out , as locals well know john no longer races at any level but breeds a few for various one loft events for his enjoyment ,with the remainder of his annual youngsters are gifted  out for other local fanciers to try to see how well they perform ,the blood lines of this pigeon originates from jack walker of cannock and is bred down through the "HOLLYWOOD CLASSIC" AND "ANDREA" lines of syndicate lofts   to date ths game pigeon has gained  many minor club  and federation and now highlights its 2014 season with 1st club fourth wnfc messac


iddy davies 4th open messac

once again there were mixed feelings on clock checking in light of the returns, when once again some faired better than others ,however what has been noticed by many, and i have been asked to pass onto the transporting organisation the woesrc and thier convoyers , is the outstanding condition that the pigeons returned home in, considering the temperatures reaching 24+ degrees on times throughout the day and the head wind  ,the pigeons looked in excellent condition  after flying the 275 miles  ,a tribute to all concerned and a job well done !!!!!!

so with four of the six old bird races now  flown ,we now head off further south with the central southern classic taking control  to pau and bergerac in the weeks that follow ,so remember each event regardless of the number of entries has to have a winner ,added to this is ,the distance  is a lot greater ,so to those who have or intend  to give it a whirl and take on these extreme races of 580 and 500 miles ,we wish you all the success and hopefully good returns

on from thre we also three young bird races to compete in later in the year from maidstone battle (hastings)and ramsgate ,so its never too late to jion ,applicaton forms can be downloaded via our website at www.welshnational.co.uk

CONVOYERS PRE LIBERATION REPORT

Messac 14th June

The birds arrived safely on site at 4.45pm on Friday 13th June and were fed and watered. The journey had been very hot. Water is being replenished in the drinkers as and when needed. Be prepared for an early liberation on Saturday 14th June, possibly as early as 5.30am to avoid the heat of the day as much as possible.

The convoyers rose at 5am and replenished water in the drinkers. At 6.15am the weather was fine with sunshine, blue skies and quite warm. There was a very light northerly wind and visibility was excellent. The birds were liberated at 6.30am. Wind at the French coast is NNE expecting to be 13mph in the channel.
