it was done in 2001 and the 7 section winners were in the first 10 open, surely that's enough said crap jmo lol. Bobby, I already said the outlying guys would be ferried in and central marking was Bathgate in 2001. Im no debating here, its just my thoughts on what I recognise in the sport.

You lads think it is only the transportation thats wrong with the SNFC??? Heres some of my views to save our national, 1. No matter what type of transporter, the amount of birds per crate/basket must be considerably reduced to ensure comfort and access to water at all times. Myself personally prefer the Geraldy for the air circulation and the easy access to water but would be happy with anything as long as it had plenty of SPACE and access to water for the birds. 2. Central marking for all channel races ( inland races can have 2 or 3 marking stations )with hand picked experienced handlers for the job ( I cannot comprehend how bad some handlers are at marking stations nowadays, its bloody disgraceful. Folk getting asked to handle or help out whilst they are waiting in a queue with their birds is so unprofessional and ridiculous.Central marking, with fifteen committee members all running a table each with the very best men they can find. An outside transportation organisation to take the birds, as Catteralls used to do, then and only then will their be no questions asked regarding security. Also, central marking helps with MARKING A DAY EARLIER. All outlying areas will be ferried in and subsidised by the SNFC as we did successfully in the past. 3. A video should be made of birds in convoy en route to race point, at all feeding/watering times, weather en route to race point, at race point and at liberation . Also, on the way back home from race point. This can be uploaded onto youtube or Pigeon Basics for that matter. A simple thing to do to show the members how the birds are getting looked after and the conditions at the race point. 4.Professional weathermen used for race controlling. Flexibility in race and marking days is also a key to successful pigeon racing. 5. The Officials and Committee should comprise of experienced and respected SNFC fliers as they used to. This proposing anyody at the agm is not on. Half the committee nowadays are unknown as SNFC men and are not familiar with the SNFC traditions.You need the best men/women for these positions to take the club forward into the 21st century.

Cracking doo Willie
