Last year – 2016 – became a major milestone in the long and illustrious history of the North Road Championship Club when it saw members compete in the club’s 100th race from Lerwick.

It was certainly a day that winner Eddie Seabourne will never forget, although he came so close to missing his biggest day in pigeon racing.

Eddie, leader of the Hall and Seabourne partnership from Norwich, had submitted his resignation from the NRCC, but then had a change of mind and withdrew his request to quit.

And how glad he was, as he still gets that special glow that only a few national winners have the privilege of enjoying.

He is not leaving anything to chance this year, and in 2017 will be fighting to achieve the double.

If you have not renewed your membership there is still time to do so, and there is time and room for new members who are looking to achieve the dream of victory in the biggest challenge for north road fanciers – winning the coveted King’s Cup from Lerwick.

Gold medals are permanent reminders of the achievement of all section winners in last year’s race, and this is something which, it is hoped, can be repeated in the near future.

In the meantime, to prepare a pigeon to master the challenge of racing home from the Shetland Islands is among the most satisfying achievements a long distance fancier can enjoy.

In addition to the Blue Riband race from Lerwick there is, of course, a programme of highly competitive races from Dunbar, Perth, Fraserburgh and Thurso for old birds, and the young bird and old hens race from Berwick.

A big thing for the club in 2016 was to take delivery of its own, brand new Geraldy transporter at a huge expense, admittedly, but a step forward thanks to the enterprise and brave decision-making of the committee, who were backed by special support from Peter Crawford, Mr and Mrs Jack Shelley and Dave Brackenbury, who deserve a great big thank you from members.

automatic ventilation and watering system, comes into the ownership of the club.

This will give the NRCC a carrying capacity of just over 3,000 birds at 25 per crate.

We are welcoming a number of new members this year, and we hope that figure will receive a boost by the trial of a new marking station for the London area. It will be at Cheshunt Football Club, Theobalds Lane, Cheshunt.

It is hoped that, by doing this, the club will continue to grow in an area which has a large number of north road fanciers. There is a warm welcome to everyone who wants to race with the NRCC. There are three other key issues to look out for this year:

A lot is happening.....

Milestones....

The Perth race will see marking brought forward by 24 hours, so please note that this year marking will be on a Thursday. This will enable birds to be fed late on Thursday, and on the Friday prior to a Saturday liberation, thus giving all birds food and rest prior to the race. Surely this has to be a good thing.

The Thurso race will also see marking a day earlier than has been usual. This, weather permitting, will enable a Friday liberation.

Hopefully time will tell if this is a positive move.

Then look out for a very special auction after the Lerwick race. This Friends of the NRCC auction will give fanciers the chance to acquire birds of the very top quality. We have been promised up to 20 high calibre birds from some of the top lofts in the UK. Keep an eye on the website and the Fancy Press for details of this chance of a lifetime.

This year will see another step forward when a trailer from Geraldy, built to the same specifications as the lorry body, complete with corridor,

Procedure up to liberation of pigeons

On arrival at the racepoint the convoyer settles the birds and informs the race secretary of his safe arrival.

Mr B Garnham and Mr G Britton the NRCC weather advisors collate the weather information which is relayed to the convoyer.

The convoyer also has his own line of flight and weather contacts and when all information is in the convoyers hands he will make the final decision on whether to liberate or not.

If a liberation cannot be forecast by the weather advisors in the near future the Emergency committee would be asked for their opinion on the correct course of action.

In all situations the convoyers decision is final.

Convoyer Feeding, Marking Stations & ETS

Convoyer Feeding Schedule

For races Dunbar and Berwick the birds are not fed unless held-over.

For Perth, Fraserburgh Thurso race the birds are fed late on the day of marking, and again on arrival at the racepoint and up to the day of liberation and on holdovers.

We are now using a recorded verification service to handle verification calls. You will be issued with a 4-digit verification number at the end of your verification phone call. Please familiarise yourself with the procedure for your verification call before the first race.

It is obviously important that you should be able to phone the verification line. If you can phone a Lib-Line service from your phone, then you will be able to use our verification services. If you are unsure, or if you have recently changed the telephone service provider you use, then you should check that you can use the verification service at least a week in advance of races. Please be aware that if you cannot connect through to a Lib-Line or verification service number from your phone, then you will probably have a “call bar” on your telephone line and you will need to phone the customer services department at your telephone service provider to ask for the “premium rate call bar” to be removed. Any “call bar” can usually be removed within a few working days.

Verification Call Procedure

Telephone verifications

Telephone Verifications

Within 60 minutes (one hour) of clocking of your first pigeon, please phone the recorded verification line detailed below these instructions. We recommend that you phone from a fixed land line telephone. Mobile phones or walk around phones can be prone to voice distortion.

You will hear a brief message instructing you to leave: • your competing number • the time of clocking your pigeon in hours and minutes • the bird’s ring number • your name and location It is a good idea to have all this information noted down on a piece of paper BEFORE phoning the verification line. When instructed to leave your verification information, please speak slowly and clearly after the tone.

After you have finished leaving your verification details, please press the 1 key on your telephone keypad and you will then be issued with a 4-digit verification number.

Please write the 4-digit verification number down and keep a note of this number in a safe place. The machine will repeat the number to you.

North Road Championship Club Verification Service Tel : 0 9 0 6 3 6 5 6 2 3 8 Calls are charged at 60p per minute from BT land lines. Calls from other networks may cost more. Calls from mobile phones can cost considerably more. If you have any difficulty using the verification service, then please phone the helpline number on Tel: 07659 878 352 and clearly leave your name and your full telephone number (including the dialling code), and your call will be returned. Please leave your telephone line free for the return call.

FORCE 13 Ultra Stamina, Endurance & Recovery Supplement for Racing Pigeons Force 13 is a combined Booster, Stamina and Endurance Supplement as a single product, for addition to drinking water.

WHY CHOOSE ‘NEW’ FORCE 13 ?

FORCE 13 KEY BENEFITS

Ultra formula Force 13 contains high levels of the amino acid l-Carnitine, an ingredient that has been extensively researched in racing pigeons and proven to promote greater performance and recovery.

• Promotes conversion of long chain fatty acids to energy for the flight muscles.

But we don’t just use standard vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) as found in almost all other products, and where 60-70% of the active ingredient is expelled.

We use Methylcobalamin, the highly bio-available coenzyme form of vitamin B12, which offers no loss of activity and almost complete utilisation.

To complete the Force 13 formulation is DMG (also known as Vitamin B15). A great natural ingredient to manage stress, optimise performance and improve endurance.

• Ensures a sustained supply of energy.

• Helps prevent muscle fatigue and cramp.

• Less lactic acid is formed during muscle work, since fatty acids rather than carbohydrates are converted to energy.

• Reduces the content of fatty acids in the blood by promoting their conversion to energy.

• Reduces breakdown of muscle tissue and helps protect muscle against injury.

• Promotes increased oxygen utilisation.

Aviform were the first company in the UK to introduce DMG for Racing Pigeons, back in the early 1980s.

• Improves metabolism of protein, fat and carbohydrates.

Force 13 can be used as a stand alone product or combined with new formula Aviform Ultimate 11 in 1 as part of our new product application plan.

• Much faster post race recovery.

• Greatly improves endurance and stamina.

APPLICATION GUIDE Add 10ml per litre (2 pints approx.) to your pigeons’ drinking water. Use for 5 days per week (Monday to Friday) for old bird racing. Can be reduced to 3 days per week (Wednesday to Friday) for young bird racing.

Force 13 can be mixed in drinking water with all other Aviform products (as required) and many other pigeon products available.

500ml £24.95. 2500ml £49.95. P&P is £2.95 or Free if ordered online.
