I am told there were only 10 Airdrie members present so the club which I am a member were only a fraction of the successful vote as for date mix up sure,ly we can sort this out at delegate meeting , I am neither for or against the route we race but still think it crazy you all want to go on your own to the longer races ,WHY , I would hope you all would want to test your pigeons and own ability and to have your birds in a batch with birds from all over Scotland breaks them up and makes them think for themselves and with the bigger convoy they get a good start up the country before being split by bop . Also Airdrie did not leave midland because of losses but a fall out with the committee or it, decision ,s .but this is not part of the discussion . Politics are killing this sport. Colin grieve
