Doesnae look like its too far away here in Falkirk either

Hes top class I used to love that programme when I was younger

Whats stopping this happening??

We should see ye up the National results in coming seasons wi this genepool Frank

Admittedly I'm not as clued up as some on the SNRPC formation and its reason,main reason being I was quite young at the time and had no interest in pigeon politics,only pigeons. This may well be the case Henrik but this is not about federation racing and who we like or don't like,its for the greater good and the benefit of the pigeons racing at national level.I could name a few fanciers in the SNRPC that combined will have raised thousands of pounds for the SNFC over the years so its swings and roundabouts

Of course thats what should happen but will it?? If there is a ever going to be racing again in Scotland across the channel involving every member eligable and willing to compete I think it'll be a drawn out step by step affair-one joint race a year could be the first step towards ending the current madness Anyway its a waste of typing time Your right Novo the idea should be forgotten about

Its does beg the question why bother with it??Let the feds create their own combines and amals for inland races. I understand the Inland races are big earners for the SNFC but I personally would prefer it if they weren't in the program at all(I include the YB race in that) Why not ?

I'd stick my hand up at the AGM in support of this program.One thing I think could maybe improve the said program would be having Ypres on the third Friday in June if possible.Lead to believe there would be an awful lot of traffic to contend with if this was a Saturday race. Back to Gold Cup I'd like to see a way of edging towards a joint convoy with the SNRPC for one race a year,the Gold Cup being the one.The SNRPC seem a bit more stable as far as race program is concerned than the SNFC and can't imagine them straying too far from Reims next season.I'd like to see the SNFC at Reims being liberated at the same time as the SNRPC-call it whatever you wish and present the results in whatever format,it'd be a good day for Scottish pigeon racing in my opinion

Pick a racepoint and stick to it for a minimum of three years as well short term spending to get the race back on its feet and back to the top of the agenda for the majority of Scottish fanciers. Treat it like the YB National in as much as you could go all year without being a member and join for this one race,paying a lower subscription. £3 to send a pigeon £500 to the winner of each of the sections Been told of a past top national flier who stopped donating pigeons to the SNFC sale as he felt the club should be giving back to the members and the men who helped raise the money instead of constantly taking from them.He is also quoted as saying-he would not see the money being used for anything useful in his lifetime,this sadly was correct.I wonder if the money will be used to better the racing and encourage the members in our lifetime

Yip can see its appeal John and its more races to go to don't feel we've got a strong enough team yet to cover all these races but may give it a try in the next couple of years

There seems to be good money in the central Scotland 3 bird club May join it one day

Never been to a vet with a pigeon but recently it cost us £25 for him to tell us he thought he should put our old dog down then a further £70 odd for him to do it The money they must make is unreal,we're the idiots fer paying it

Heard a lot of good reviews on their respiratory treatments

I met Vince when he was buying boxes in Shieldhill last year-Big Davie brought him up to see oor doos,Hes a character He couldnae believe the quality ae pigeons that were on show

Aye a was tempted to go to the Bonnybridge quiz John but had something on the same night thats some list there-best of the best

Get a good cargo on board and wing it You wouldnae be the first fi what av heard

Wheres that ALF??that could be a good yin fer ma first

I've never been to a quiz night but was lookin through some of the Joe Murphy articles on Elimar and seen in his blast from the past a photo from an old Boness quiz and thought thats one I wouldnae have minded being at The guests were Robert Cormack,Eddie Newcombe,Bobby Carruthers and Jim Sanderson Whats been the best quiz night you've ever been to and whos been the most interesting or entertaining(not necessarily the most successful)panelist you've seen??

Top dogs

Set yourself realistic targets and don't be afraid to lose pigeons.Above all keep them as healthy as you can all year round with sensible management and supplementation.Two of the best things you can give yer doos are totally FREE-fresh air and sunshine

Not watched a lot of Moto GP this year but was saddened by the footage I seen earlier Talented rider who died doing what he loved
