I no it costs more for the hire of 2 units to pull the trailers ,how many members (lofts ) have lanarkshire,

our fed members pay ( 2009 ) £65.00 Per loft , that covers all transport costs , No wonder your fed has as much dosh in the bank.

Sh*T Happens :-/

here here

the feds must make a fortune on the sale of rubber rings , i would take it you ( bigda ) dont have ets

it seems to be , either that its paranoia :-/

who,s they and what clubs are doing this , I thought if you set two clocks you had to name your no1 clock , you cant just change it to suit what bird drops first.

why would you think they were pulling a fast one . anybody who has ets and also rubbers some of there birds are of there head, it would,nt happen at my club

what is the point of having ets and also sending some with rubbers, our club members all have ets and only set a manual clock when flying with the snfc as a back up.

I get my young birds used with the flag but not to scare them, just so they no what it is for . my widowhood cocks no when the flags up they fly and when that flag comes down there in before i have the flag put away. build them up slowly 20mins up to the hour.

i feed mine in the boxes this year , but next year am going to feed on the floor as per wilkins, and not showing the hens before the race

The north road is ok , but you can,t get the distance, the longest inland race to me was 210 miles.

i was thinking of sending a team to it next year

This race seems to get alot of good press. But how long has this one been running for . I think going with another fed is a good idea .

I would like to thank all who attended our sale , and to all who donated birds . we raised just over £900.00 for fed funds .

Well another hard year finished , keep up the good work

Then its still just a normal race , senting them , training them yourself. This way you still fly against other people , have the same chance as everybody , no worries about wind or loft location . And hopefully still competing against all the federation to see how they are doing.

I well i thought that too but did,nt seem to take of . I will decide in the next couple of months if i will do it next year . i would like to concentrate on ma own doo,s

well the way i run mine this year , a. You the fancier entered as many birds as you wanted at £25 Per bird b. All the birds were tansfered into my name , c. The birds got trained etc d. All birds remaining before first race cost £50 to activate So if you lost your bird it only cost you £25 . I thought this was the fairest way to run it . And also they flew with our fed. Winning a number of fed tickets.

It does,nt matter what you want to run or how you run it , There is always somebody who wont like it . I think one loft races should fly with there local fed so the birds get spilt up but still fly to the same location so the best birds come to the front. Rather than one big training toss.

Its got nothing to do with dampers on it . Its the truth

well talking from experience , the one loft races give everybody the same chance , and if you think its done to make money your crazy . If you count all the hours that get put in from feb to sept a lottery win would,nt cover it . The federation idea is fine but you.ll still get fanciers saying ( Am no doing that i could never win )

why would you need to level them , they are both made for individual drinkers on each basket. i have been on a few transporters and our new one is the easiest to work with.

that will never happen . that means spending money. you,ll get another ten years out of the old ones

thick skinned is always a good start for a race controller
