Id like to see the combines back and the national get back to what it was formed for, distance racing.

As you can see by the poll I put up, a large majority want the inland nationals dropped. Very interesting.

cheers m8

have u got a link

What does the SNFC members think about the inland nationals?

It will all end if you give them vetramox Peter

I lost plenty before the national m8 lol, but thanks. Its been a tough yb season.

Good points , I brought these points up at a SNFC committee meeting many ears ago but there are so many more members have email addresses nowadays, it is deffo a goer.

Ideas for the SNFC is the topic, lets hear some fresh ideas.

interesting

Happy bday lads

Class birds lads, well done

Dal, ye need members to report when they are in so folk can read the race. If nobody phoned in ye wouldnt know when to have the clocks read lol.

Well done Leanne and Ron

Makes no odds usually m8 but I think it is very unsporting to hold yer time when guys are thinking theyve won the section or the open.

Ok, ive refrained from posting for a wee while and let ye all have a wee gripe lol. 1. I did not say anybody would find out yer time, I said you had to report yer pigeon, whether it is by phone or text, makes no odds.The SNFC do not need to make any times public knowledge until an hour after they are reported. That would stop any potential cheating. 2. Walter,we had central marking before and it was the most successful race we have ever had. The outlying fanciers travelling great distances were subsidised and a van was put on to collect their pigeons. ps. Colin, i'll collect yer doos for ye pal lol. 3. Bobby, I bang on about security because the SNFC had the biggest cheat in Europe at one time and certain folk sat on their holes watching it, so get a f kin grip.

After a very successful SNFC season we must congratulate all the officials and workers that give up their time to look after our pigeons and make sure we get good racing. Onwards and upwards for the SNFC. However, I've thought of a few things that would help the club be even better. 1. Minimum birds to a basket/ crate. We all know the approx birdage each race will have so we should act accordingly.Every convenor should be told how many to a basket/crate prior to each race.Lets use ALL the baskets available. 2.Videos en route and at lib site.All birds feeding/watering, weather conditions etc etc should be made available to the members. Its so easy to do, a press of a button and its uploaded onto the SNFC website or Facebook . 3. Texting instead of libline.All members first pigeons should be TEXT in. Members pay £2 at start of the year and they are text when the birds are libbed, any updates, changes to marking dates , weather, hold overs etc etc .Everybody has access to a mobile phone and texting costs pennies.If your bird isnt text in , its not in the result. 4. Central marking for the Gold cup The most important race of the year should have the birds all mixed up .We did it before and had all 7 section winners in the first 10 open. 5.Getting the birds to drink I do believe this is the most important thing to insure success at any race.Id suggest giving the SNFC birds a small pick of seeds about an hour or two before the expected liberation.After they have had a pick, they will take a drink !!!! Whats yer thoughts lads?

haha

Sorry to hear this Davy, youve got yersel a decent distance team as well, I hope ye reconsider or start them back up at yer new address. All the best, Del.

Good result by the BEARS, I actually thought they were the better team in the last quarter of the match. Rode our luck in first half though.

Got my 7 th doo this morning, pleased to see it

Brilliant m8

Outstanding lads
