Lots of info in this one so read through it carefully:
Congratulations to the breeders that had success in Plymouth Peak Pro Challenge. You can be especially proud of your birds this year. They had some tough races this year. The Average Speed of all 6 races was 1320 ypm. I feel the birds did really well against a lot of adversity, so thanks for sending good smart pigeons. Money winners, if you won at least $600, please get me a W9 as soon as you can, I won’t send checks without one.

The next order of business is do we fly a 400 mile race? I was waiting until today to see how many birds came home before even offering it. We have 137 birds home. I need at least 65 birds to make it worth it. I will train the birds at least once, but hopefully twice before going 400. (Only birds going to the 400 would be trained.) The entry fee would be $135 per bird, I take $20 leaving $115 in the pot per bird. I will pay the top 10% of birds and I will pay the drop. If more than 10% of birds are on the drop, I will pay down more postitions to accomodate that. Example Payout based on 65 Birds: $7475 in the pot
1st – $3000
2nd – $2200
3rd – $1000
4th – $800
5th – $300
6th – $175
So what I need from all my breeders ASAP is a text or phone call (text is best) to let me know if your intersted in the 400 mile race and if so what band numbers, if not then do you want your birds shipped back or not?
Lastly, this year was a trial year for using points to award the winning birds. I would like some feedback on possibly using the point system again next year. Please feel free to send me an email explaining your likes or dislikes with the points and or suggestions to make it better. My goal is to make sure the best bird in the race series is awarded the most. Email: tmrpr13@yahoo.com
Thank You Very Much! It has been a super fun year. I had a blast handling your birds.
Sincerely,
Derik Alder
