Nothing can kill off the GOLD CUP. I can almost guarantee you this, if they marked the Gold cup in London, the real distance men would still be at it, that's a fact. The same guys are at it every year and this would not stop.Im the same as everyone else,I don't want central marking,but you all missed my primary concern for the SNFC, SECURITY!!!!

1.security 2. all birds mixed up together, in 2001 the Gold cup was central marking and 7 section winners in the top 10 Open, it was a west wind too. Central marking is a good thing for the credibility of the SNFC, to bring back professionalism to the club. expletive remove, people off the street are marking the pigeons nowadays whereas only a few years ago it was hand picked top rated pigeon men that handled the cream of Scotlands pigeons. These men were lettered and asked to represent the National, which was a great honour to them. When we had central marking in Bathgate their were committee members working 10 hours that day, all for the benefit of the SNFC. The SNFC committee don't get paid and do their tasks for the club only because it is an honour to be on the committee.

2004 I think, it was Gibson that caused this rule to be brought in.

Good prize money , cheers.

No, they were all marked at central station

Have to ask Ken, what area are you winning 1st Bourges.Is the sire of the bird that has 3 x 1st Bourges, win them at club or fed and how many birds /members etc.Lovely bird Ken but need more info m8.

Don't follow that m8, can ye elaborate.

Do you send to the 500 mile races Ricky? How would it kill the races as its been successful before? lol Robbie

Agree m8, put them in writing to the SNFC and get to AGM

central marking was done very successfully before Stevie without any problems with clocks etc.

SNFC Base station used at central marking. Different SNFC Base station used at sectional clock check to strike off clocks, no problem Stevie.No security issue because all are SNFC Base stations and are coded.The main reason for central marking is SECURITY.

Your clock returns to normal clock stations Kevin.

I agree Robert, does my head in too.

:emoticon-0140-rofl: :emoticon-0140-rofl:

No Kevin, it usually costs ye less m8 because a few travel to the marking together,

lol, I get the blame for everything lol.

Whats the prize money Aldo?

All the birds are mixed in with each other That would do, it was Bathgate the last time. Not Laurieston Bobby, Avonbridge. ps. your a crabbet cant lol

one, it was done before with great success.7 section winners in the top 10 open. The Solway and north boys pigeons were ferried in and the cost was subsidised by the SNFC.

ok, we ve lost the topic again, proposals for the SNFC for 2014. Ill start it, id like 1.Geraldy transporters, 2.racepoints, Maidstone, ypres , liege, long race?, ypres 3.Central marking for channel races. 4. Pigeons reported within hour of timing from channel races and a prelim result on the internet as they are phoned in.

Keep fishing u wee cant lol

They aren't in both, everyone in Kirky is in sect F.( just a couple in sect E through no fault of there own ) How can you state Kirky definitely should be out of F and into sect E and then except Newbigging, Ravenstruther, Forth, Shotts etc in section E With open arms. Double standards big fella, ridiculous really the penalty kicks some have got . Another thing, no way should Larkhall be in the west section of your fed pmsfl.oops off topic lol

see the similar empathies here lol

What section would Newbigging be in Gareth?

Don't altogether disagree with ye Frank, but whos going to propose that.
