Offence has to be taken as well as given.

Hello Red yoyo. You been busy since you got back. Most of us want harmony. Too many people who have their own agenda to follow will try to stop that. The members need to stand up and be counted. FrankDooman called it right. SNRPC members (me included) would not now want to give up membership of such a forward thinking club.We are amazed and proud of what has been achieved so far and also what is in the pipeline. The folks who have tried to rubbish the club and starve it of publicity have failed. Quality will always shine out.

An honest man's aboon them aw

Hello Red yoyo. Where have you been hiding?See you called it spot on re AJB and Round O.

A suitable box would weigh about 1 kg and a doo about 0.5 kg. the whole thing 2 kg at most 3

Anyone got news of the Dale Newcome sales?

Nice to hear of genuine fanciers. As one of the gang said the ones you get for nothing are usually the best. Thats been my experience.

Haven't read the book but would think certain people would be excluded. Much mention of Jimmy Hamilton? A passed president, SNFC winner and one of the people that put Fife on the pigeon map. Also a lovely man. Sadly, Mr 10% doesn't like him

You seemed less than complimentary of Kirkintillok club. Are they not SHU. whats the beef?

Would like to know more. Will be up for a look before Christmas. What do you know of SNFC / SNRPC

My job is done then

Does the guy who wrote the BHW letter know of the interest here?

Yip I think we go for it tho next season may be too soon to attract decent birdage. 2009 may be better option

We seem to race the long ones at a later stage in the season. Is July too late up there?

Hello. Where did you spring from?

What we need is to give convoyer / controller a lot of lattitude. If wind too strong then hold etc. How often have birds been held for days due to weather and end up released in weather as bad as day one because "they need to go" mentality prevails. Get a good controller and let him be and Im up for this.

Can we get an idea of suitable provisional date for this race. IE does mid July sound near it? This season coming may be too soon but 2009 could happen. What do you think?

Nice one thunderbolt. Couldn't have put it better. Too many are desparte to beat clubmates by ten birds from no distance. Does nothing for the game and no one remembers them. This could put UK on the map.

I would love to be a part of it. History in the making.

Kirkintillock that is

Is that club still going? Met an old boy transport cop Mr Car who raced there years ago. Probably gone by now.

Seems that the Scots are up for this more than the others. Any thoughts from other areas?

Am possibly moving to Glasgow area with work. Any clubs left up there?

Yes I see where your at thought the drag of the birds from west of Scotland and Up North Combine should bring them in sooner than Edinburgh. Also, from Frankfurt the birds are far enough south that they would be close to land for much of the later part of the crossing.

South Lanarkshire not going east?
