Very well done Karen, top class flying

if thats true velocity approx 1347ypm

THE WEIRDEST *expletive removed* RACE I CAN EVER REMEMBER ALF.5 hours between my 1st and 2nd doo, Chin up m8

You are not alone, alot of top doo men not got a bird.

Well done Frank, the season has just begun so get them in clock, I got a yearling at 21.49

Just 2/4 Frank, but the two I fancied

Aye Frank, but the wind is turning to south west on route. Good luck

Thank you for answering the question. Kenny Young built these transporters and a very good job he made of them but, they were designed so that a hydraulic lift extended one side of the frame out so the baskets could be serviced with drinkers from the corridor. THIS HYDRAULIC SYSTEM HAS NOT BEEN FITTED,( this was costing £2000 ) so the convoyer has to pull all the baskets out on one side so he can enter the corridor with water. Then he pushes the baskets back in ( WITH DRINKERS FULL )because it could start raining. He has to do this at least 3 times a day and also for feeding them. What alot of work the convoyers have to do and hats off to them for this but I think life could be made alot easier for these hard working guys. A geraldy or something specially built to the Nationals spec would surely be the way forward.May I say once again, Im not having a go at any of the convoyers as I think they are asked to do TOO MUCH WORK.

Thank you for answering the question

Im not asking about past or present races, im saying the way the birds are watered is amateurish and not good enough for the best birds in Scotland.

What was the question BOB, IS THE TRANSPORTER USED BY THE SNFC THE BEST AVAILABLE

Are you having a laugh Andy, behave yerself

Hes the best secretary weve had since June Paton but toooooo much money for what he does ARE THE TRANSPORTERS THE BEST AVAILABLE????? NOOOO, ENOUGH SAID

BULLCOCK, we spend 18 grand a year on secretarial fees etc and we have half the members we used to have. If you consider the secretary works , maybe 20 weeks of the year, that equates to £900 a week. Not a bad wage. Basically, we have around 1000 members paying £25 fees. £18 of that goes to paying the secretarys wages

???? Strange one John, Im not asking for the convoyers opinion, im giving mine after 35 years of SNFC racing and 3 times a member of the SNFC committee.The watering system on any transporter is the most important thing and this system used by the SNFC is antiquated and draconian.I stated this at SNFC meetings .Never before has the SNFC settled for 2nd best. Do you ( as a new committee member )think that our means of travel are the very best available ? If the answer is no, then please do something about it.We have money in the bank, use it before it is too late.Another thing, as you would have noticed at this years AGM, a transport committee was meant to be set up to look into ( a grant ) to help obtain a new transporter. I was meant to be on that committee as I have done the homework in getting the paperwork for a grant. I havent yet heard from any official regarding this.Why ? everybody knows the answer to this Get the transportation thing sorted , for us, the SNFC members.

The convoyer wont complain about the transporter, he built them

THE MEMBERS HAVE TO PUT LETTERS IN AND THEN THE COMMITTEE WILL DEAL WITH THEM.

Aye, I agree with him. I dont think you should be pulling baskets out to get up corridor to water pigeons. Not good enough in the year 2010. Geraldy or similar is a must for the SNFC.

Does the forum members think the SNFC transporters are good enough for the countries premiere club ?

Cheers Gareth and John, got my second of 4 when i was away with clock 3 birds in Forth/Clyde fed , me with 2 and Tam Henderson the other. Delighted to hear I won race and fed averages

STUART, You know the script. Whats the SNRPC rules on identification ie birds carrying the owners name address or phone number

J & A Stokes, the most underestimated loft in Scotland imo. In the last few YEARS THEY HAVE BEEN BRILLIANT

Heard there were 2 Reims pigeons reported , one picked of boat in Kent, dont know where other is.Dodgy stuff if these birds can be reported during race ( even before a pigeon is timed ) If this is true then a massive question mark appears over the security of the race.Can anyone shed any light on this?

Got one at 12.49, totally wasted. This wee doo has flown Alencon twice and has never returned as bad as this 1/4 sent

the snfc transporters are just not good enough.
