                       M& J Hughes 
                           
 

the welsh national flying club continued their 2013  overseas race programme from tours an average distance of 340 miles to most
lofts within the principality,as expected our numbers were down but this  wasnt going to be a surprise to us in light of the route change for this
season
for this event the the birds were race marked on thursday night as advertised and were then convoyed  over the severn bridge by the the wnr
federation where they liased and were handed over  to the west of  england  combine  who supplied the transport to this race piont,
saturday morning and  with a good run of fine weather we were pleased to hear that the 2,000 plus  english and welsh pigeons  were away nice and early at 06.15,into into clear  skies and a north by north easterly head  wind for the duration of the journey home.
as usual  estimates circulating as they do, with pigeons hopefully  being  on welsh soil around eight hours plus marker, which would predict an
estimated speed of 38 to 40 mile an hour  and considering the conditions and  distance involved we were hopeful not to be far out  and that we would see a  good outcome come clock checking.
for the leading pigeon this week we head to treharris to the father and son, partnership of mathew and joseph hughes for 1st centre section 1st open winning the proff sport and dutch spring exchange  challenge trophy
the partnership are no strangers to the top spot after  winning 1st wnfc folkestone in 2012,the winning pigeon timed in at 14.35 to record avelocity of 1215.7  flying 350 miles is a two year old red hen is a full  sister to their 2012 national winner which is bred down from the partnerships
marc and lillly verheyde stock crossed with the their original raymond molevedes   through the "strong wings" lines,this game little hen which braved the 350  miles into a continuous head wind has flown consistant over the past seven races  that she has been entered into scoring the following results 2nd club newbury  2nd section 26th open newbury 2,543 birds 5th open national 7th sec 8th open  wnrf 2,282 birds maidstone,11th sec 22nd section wnrf 1,528 birds 15th open  national ramsgate and also just a week earlier scored 1st club newbury 3rd sec 11th open 1,211 birds along with these results she also scored as a19th national  maidstone

another  loft which has maintained a  high profile within the wnfc for 2013 is  brian price of blackwood who is once again amoungst the leading positions  timed  in at 14.49 v 1174 to claim 2nd centre secton 2nd open ,brian informs  me that  the pigeon which he timed in was a 2yr old widowhood  cheq cock, is the same way  bred as his ramsgate section winner  which originates  from the bargoed  loft of  iddy davies in the form of  eggs which were purchased crossed with the  brasspenings lines obtained from brians good friend billy powell also of bargoed  from the treherbert lofts of graham warren,im informed on the day of basketing  this cock has thrown his first flight and was well up for the challenge ahead of  him 


for 1st section 3rd open we head to the south section to the risca  lofts of john newbury who timed in a 4yr old cheq hen at 14.40 with a vel of
1173 the bloodlines  comes through the "alexandra" lines on the dams side who  recorded the only bird on the day from kassel 540 miles in 2004 which then  went on to win the  whpu queens cup winner for the late glyn cousins of newport which   were originated  from the partnership of crook&smith of caerphilly,crossed southwells .,on the sires side its the scarbourgh  lofts of frank sheader  sootjen  which is dominant in the pedigree
this experienced hen has been a  consistant for john over previous years just like her grand mother with many  club and federation performances along with 15th open 4th south section bonn 450  mles and 7th south section brussels 340 miles

for the final loft that we report on this week with 3rd centre section 4th  open we head back to the top of the valley to one of our furthest flying lofts
within the wnfc that of the husband and wife partnership of dylan and tracey russel from ebbw vale,who timed in a 5yr old mealy cock at 15.06.39 vel 1158.0  from their old home blended   janssen family of pigeons which has been the base for this loft going  back many years and have  achieved many club and   federation performances  plus 2 x1st  north section winners in the wnfc in 2012 from brussels and bonn

 so thats it another race under our belts and all considered a good hard channel race with a good winner ,the feed back  im hearing from our members is  the condition of the pigeons on their return, which was a compliment to the  convoying team of the west of england combine and a big thank you goes out to  them and everyone involved for their hard work in supplying us with a good race,on clock checking once agin it was   mixed pleasures as some loftsreported  60% returns and others wernt as fortunate but  hopefully  the entries that were adrift at nightfall would get through in the following days
well thats it  for now in the next month we move further a field to our  longest races which are tarbes 600 miles and bergerac  500miles ,and whats
making it more interesting for us as an organisation is that new fanciers are making enquiries as to jioning us to give big events a go ,no we aint going to  be sending hundreds or even  thousands of entries to these races as fanciers condition thier entries well in advance in regards to nest conditions etc and  have already undergone some hard races due to the continuous northerly winds
,but what we can be  asured of is that the winners of these races will be  justified and aknowledged for their efforts and the rewards that acompany such  challenging distances, to add a little more spice to these events we are  honoured to be convoyed  by the central southern classic ,where our members if  they wish can now duplicate from the cscfc to the welsh national .fc
