Isnt there 1100 members all in? which would mean 160 was a pretty poor turn out. I still think postal ballots should be introduced to help people who cant attend for whatever reason. Yes it will probably mean less at the actual meeting, but at least the whole membership are involved. alex.

My avatar is a bit tongue in cheek. When i first started racing pigeons, and started training them, i said to a friend "this is great, every time i train or race the birds, they always come back", he replied, "just like a boomerang", hence the name boomerang lofts. I changed the name to catelae lofts, (which is latin), after my arson attack. I liked the name boomerang, and wanted to keep it in some capacity. Long winded, but hey ho lol alex.

brilliant ian, well done and to all involved, alex

Thanks stephen

It must be a fife thingy ;D ;D ;D ;D

What programme do you use stephen? cracking job, and quick too, well done.

yer a chancer brian ;D ;D

I also have sputniks, but i leave them open (when i,m there) and let the young birds come and go as they see fit. They wont go far. I feed mine at night so when they are about to come in its to the tin, always to the tin when feeding. I sometimes dont feed them the night before i,m due to let them out, which keeps them keen. So when the tins shaken the have something to come in for. alex.

surely if the post was vacant, wouldnt it get discussed. If not how do we get a pro in place for this year?

any more news alf of other positions?

welcome mate, all the very best alex

old yellow has the answer, ask him. archie your a credit to everthing and everyone that you are involved with. all the best mate, alex.

in safe hands there hotrod.

Under the present climate should he have written an obituary for the great Dale Newcome? Yes he is entitled to do so, but just considering the present climate, was it neccessary?

I totally agree, for a relativley new comer to the sport, as myself, this subject isnt half leaving a bad taste in the current members mouths. The person in question is still pulling everyones chain and winding us up, just look at the bhw. I was lead to believe had resigned from the snfc, and if so how is he allowed to put a report into the bhw under PRO. Stroll on 2009 season for the better of the sport, lets get it sorted.

Me and wifey are staying at The Rosebank Villa Hotel, just at the back of the winter gardens. Been there for the last 2 years, great place run by great people.

trying my 36 yearlings unraced as young birds, on the round a bout. bit of an imbalance, as i have 14 cocks rest hens. 25-30 young birds, hopefully. alex

How does Derek Lawton fare?

In the end Gareth, its got to help by sharing the cost. Dont know the best way to do it. Fife have always opted for a trailer as having a lorry brings its own costs ie tax mot insurance ect. But the size of trailer we have is costing us a fair bit to run at the moment. I would like to see the framing to be removeable, so that we can just store that. Then hire a flat bed lorry for the season, putting the framing onto that. Once finished return the lorry, so that cuts the costs down. It was just an idea, never realy looked into the hiring side

Our Fife Federation doubled up with the SNFC last year to cut down on costs, some liked it others didnt. I like the idea of the SNFC buying a new state of art transporter and hiring it out to a federation, thus generating money when not in use at nationals. Fife federations transporter is always a sore topic, and it would be interesting to see how the hiring could help the SNFC or Fife (or whatever fed would hire)
