You would have to be blind, stupid & selfish to ignore the latest one!! You guys just continue to see what you want to see and hear what you want to hear for your own benefit and totally disregard the damage that you will do if you don't comply with the latest instruction from the SHU. We all want the racing/training to start as soon as possible but I think the medical experts will have more idea on vulnerable people's mental health etc than a pigeon fancier that thinks if bio-security measures are observed then everything will be okay

How? do you no believe her?

No interpretations needed!!, It was a "Statement" from the MSP

I guess by your statement it must just be club secretary's that got the email? TRAINING IN SCOTLAND All Clubs and Federations should be fully aware of the following statement which was made by Mairi Gougeon MSP, Minister for Rural Affairs and The Natural Environment in the Scottish Government on 2 June 2020 before arranging training of any kind:- At the current time, it is best that racing pigeons are exercised from their home loft. It would be permissable for birds belonging to a few members to be transported, in disinfected crates, to a distance of less that 5 miles and released for a slightly longer flight. This could be carried out without the need for your members to come into close contact with others when the crates are uplifted. This statement should be adhered to as failure to comply with it could result in there being no racing at all this year. In the meantime I will continue pressing the Minister and her Private Secretary for an answer on when we are liable to be allowed to race. Gordon Turnbull, B.E.M. President Scottish Homing Union Yours sincerely Mrs Linda Brooks Scottish Homing Union Secretary

Racing in Scotland – Updated 2 June 2020 Pigeon Racing in Scotland This statement relates to RPRA members in Scotland: We have produced a document giving guidance on race marking. Although this document is guidance, members, clubs and organisations should appreciate that it is based on the Scottish Government’s requirements and anyone found not adhering to the content will be jeopardising pigeon racing continuing under the current strategy. Race marking may be subjected to checks by Trading Standards and/or the Police. The guidance is based on: 1. The principles set out by the First Ministers Announcements made in May and 1st June 2. The publication of the Scottish Government’s Framework for Decision Making Download: RPRA Scotland Race Marking Guidance Racing Pigeon Training in Scotland Members should read all of the following statement, and encourage all other members to read the full statement and not rely on word of mouth. Firstly, I must stress that this article relates to Scotland, under the easing of restrictions confirmed by the First Minister on 28th May 2020. This includes: 1. Confirmation that outdoor recreation and sport is permitted. 2. Unrestricted travel is permitted. The statement is based on the principles set out by the First Minister on 21st and 22nd May 2020, and the content within the Scottish Government’s document titled ‘Scotland Road Map through and out of the Crisis’. Individual Loft Training Individual loft training is permitted from Friday 29th May 2020. Group Training Group training will also be permitted, subject to the following conditions that reflect the Scottish Government’s requirement: 1. Two metres distance should be kept between individuals from different household. 2. Individuals are only permitted to meet up with one other individual from a different household at any point. Therefore, the following suggested process may assist members is adhering to these requirements: Those carrying out group training (the convoyer) should remain in the vehicle at each collection point while the fancier loads his/her pigeons. Once the fancier has left the pick up point, the convoyer should disinfect any part of the equipment that the fancier has come into contact with, such as door to trailers, before moving to the next collection point or before the next fancier loads his/her pigeons. At no point should more than two individuals from different households be at the same pick up point at the same time. Individuals from different households should not travel in the same vehicle. In addition, where applicable convoyers should ensure that they have a RPRA Convoyer’s licence and are meeting the requirements of the General Licence for Bird Gatherings. Further information on the General Licence can be found within the AI Pigeons Code of Practice. Ian Evans CEO

������������������ total bender....enjoy yer day mate

Wi an attitude like you have shown from the start of this post I very much doubt if you care what the word safe means but I'm sure those that are left will still enjoy their racing. Best o luck to you's

you need to check your source I'm afraid. It is not the exact same as England got days ago!

If it's within 5 miles of your home, hardly worth training fae there

No but the RPRA said they could in "England"!!

Too late bud, he was caught same time as yersell

Good post! Name & shame them

If they're anything like boris it's no easy to ken what they were doin, bottom line is they can do nothing until Nicola says they can

That's the statement I commented on, disnae say anything about "relevant parties"
