THE MOST POSITIVE THING TO COME OUT OF THIS GREAT ACHIEVEMENT, WAS THAT THE ONLY CHANGE TO HUGH'S NORMAL ROUTINE, WAS SPENDING MORE TIME AT THE LOFT DUE TO COVID-19, SO OUT OF DISPAIR COMES HOPE AND GREATER ACHIEVEMENT, GOOD LESSON TO BE LEARNED THERE.

PLEASE NOTE REVISED TIMES FOR SECT.E REIMS CLOCK SETTING, TONIGHT 7pm TILL 7.30pm, THEN TOMORROW SUNDAY 3pm TILL 4pm.

CLOCK CHECKING FOR REIMS, WILL BE AT 7PM ON SATURDAY, UDDINGSTON PC. GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO ARE COMPETING.

JUST A REMINDER THAT MARKING TIMES FOR SECTION E, IS FROM 4PM UNTIL 8PM, AGAIN IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL IF THOSE USING TAURIS AND BRICON ETS, WAIT UNTIL AFTER 5PM FOR RACE MARKING THEIR BIRDS. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THOSE WHO MADE THE RESULT IN THE SNFC MAIDSTONE RACE.

SNFC SECT.E CLOCK CHECKING FOR MAIDSTONE RACE, WILL BE ON SATURDAY MORNING 11am AT UDDINGSTON PC.

RIP JOHN COSGROVE, PRAYERS AND BEST WISHES TO ALL OF THE FAMILY.

AS MOST OF YOU WILL HAVE SEEN BY NOW, IT IS RAINING QUITE STEADILY, SO IF YOU ARE MARKING YOUR BIRDS AT UDDINGSTON JUST GIVE A SINGLE BLAST ON YOUR HORN WHEN YOU ENTER THE CAR PARK, AND YOU WILL BE ISSUED A TICKET WITH A NUMBER, JUST STAY IN YOUR CAR UNTIL YOU ARE CALLED IN BY NUMBER, THERE WILL ONLY BE THREE MEMBERS IN THE HALL AT ONE TIME, YOU WILL ENTER BY DOOR {A}, AND LEAVE THRU DOOR {B} 'ONE WAY IN OPERATION', PLEASE, IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, WEAR A FACE COVERING. IT WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL IF MWMBERS USING TAURIS AND BRICON COULD COME FROM 5pm ONWARDS, AND ALL OTHERS ASAP FROM 4pm, THIS WILL ALLOW A MORE ORDERLY FEED THOUGH. GOOD LUCK IN IN THE RACE. PHONE YOUR FRIENDS WITH REGARDS TO THIS NOTICE, IF YOU KNOW THEY DONT HAVE INTERNET ACCESS.

YES, IT CAN BE FURTHER ADDESSED AT 2021 AGM.

PLEASE NOTE THERE HAS BEEN A FURTHER UPDATE TO HOD FOR THE 2020 REIMS RACE, NOW 22.00 TO 05.15, CHECK SNFC WEBSITE FOR UPDATE.

SU-16-L-10525 IS A DALZELL BIRD MICHAEL, SEC. IS JIM LATIMER 01698 335326

MY UNDERSTANDING IT WAS THE SNFC COMMITTEE WAY BACK.

THIS RESPONSE TO THE TWO DEREKS, IS NOT FROM THE SNFC, IT IS JUST MY EXPLANATION AS TO WHY I THINK THE HOD ARE AT PROBABLY AN IMPROVMENT FROM 2019. SUNRISE FOR JULY 24th. IS 5.13am, SUNRISE FOR JULY 31st.IS 5.22am, SNFC HOD FOR JULY 24th. IS 5.00am, SNFC HOD FOR JULY 31ST,IS 5.15am SO I DONT THINK THEY ARE TOO MUCH OUT OF KILT, IF AT ALL. NOW THE DIFFICULTY ARISES WHEN TRYING TO GET THE RIGHT CLOSE TIME, BECAUSE AS WE ALL KNOW THE FURTHER NORTH YOU GO, ITS THAT LITTLE BIT LIGHTER, LAST YEAR ROYE WAS ON THE 19th. JULY AND CLOSED AT 22.30 UNTIL 5.00am. THIS YEAR REIMS 22.15 UNTIL 5.15am. FOR 12 DAYS LATER.{no complaints last year} SO ITS A TOUGH ONE TO GET IT SPOT ON, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OF THE OPINION THAT, THAT LAST BIRD AT NIGHT CLOSES THE RACE, FIRST BIRD IN THE MORNING OPENS THE RACE,BUT AGAIN THERE ARE SOME OF THE OPINION THAT THIS SYSTEM COULD BE MANIPULATED. PLEASE DONT COME BACK AT ME WITH YOUR ANSWERS, AS I SAID, ITS JUST MY OPINION. THERE IS ALWAYS THE PROCESS OF LODGING AN OBJECTION WITH SNFC.

PLEASE NOTE CHANGES TO HOURS OF DARKNESS FOR THE SNFC RACES 2020. NOW POSTED ON SNFC WEBSITE.

SORTED.

CHEERS MATE.

JUST IN WITH Y/Bs SU-19-F-4421

WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO HAVE THE GOOD OLD DAYS BACK, I LOVED THE SPORT AND THE FANCIERS THEN, WHO IN THOSE DAYS WERE MOSTLY GUYS WHO WORKED 5.1/2 DAYS A WEEK, HAD NO CARS, NO MOBIL PHONES TO PREDICT THE WEATHER, SENT THEM ON A FRIDAY, AND WAITED TO HEAR WHEN THEY WERE LIBERATED, WITH HARDLY A MOAN, MANAGED TO MAKE THEIR WAY TO AS FAR AS QUEEN ST.TRAIN STATION IN GLASGOW, FOR SNFC RACE MARKING, OR HAMILTON TOWN HALL, MOSLY IN THE SERVICE BUSES, THE GUYS FROM THE SOUTH SECTION SENT THEIR DOOS {EARLY MORNING} OFF TO HAMILTON IN A FUNITURE VAN AND THEY WERE PLACED IN DIFFERENT QUEUES AND RACE MARKED. WILLIE RAE FROM BIGGER, USED TO WALK UP AND DOWN THE BASKET LINE LIKE A SEARGENT MAJOR, AND YOU DORNY PUT A FIT WRANG,OR HE WAS ON TO YOU, ONCE THEIR DOOS WERE MARKED IT WAS DOON THE STAIRS TO THE BAR FOR REFRESMENTS, WHICH SLOWWLY DEVELOPED INTO A 4 HR, SING SONG. THEN ON TO FRIDAY TO LISTEN TO 1 O'CLOCK BBC NEWS, TO SEE IF THE RENNES DOOS WWERE LIBERATED. THE GOOD OLD DAYS, SADLY GONE I THINK NEVER TO RETURN.

STRAY IN TO NIGHT GB-18-A-23975

HRS OF DARKNESS ARE GOING TO BE REVIEWED FOR REIMS RACE BY SNFC.

IF ITS GOING TO HAPPEN THEN YOU COULD SAVE A FEW BOB, COZ I BELIEVE THE DUNDEE FOLKS ARE THINKING ABOUT TAKING DOWN DESPERATE DAN STATUE, AND WHIT I SAW OFF TOMMY YESTERDAY, THE STATURE IS FINE, YOU COULD TRANSFER IT, AND JUST CHANGE ONE WORD. THIS IS DEFINATELY MY LAST WORD ON THIS TOMMY.

Aye, feel free, I'll correct your grammer and spelling again, before I print. see you this afternoon, have it ready and I'll take it back with me.

WELL I'M AGAIN DISSAPOINTED AT YOUR RESPONSE, AS ITS A LONG WAY OFF FROM THE GUY WHO USED TO COME ROUND TO MY HOME TO GET ME TO TYPE HIS LETTERS TO THE PIGEON AUTHORITIES, I AM NOT GOING TO FALL OUT WITH YOU OVER PIGEONS, LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR THAT, I KNOW YOUR HEART IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE, IS JUST YOUR COMMENTS ARE A BIT MISS DIRECTED AND NOT ONLY AT ME, ANYWAY LETS HOPE THINGS GET BETTER FOR FOR ALL, AND DONT WORRY ABOUT MY INTGRITY, ONLY ONE MAN WILL JUDGE THAT, AND I HOPE ITS A BIT OF A WAY OFF YET. SEE YOU WHEN I PICK UP MY FEEDING.

TOMMY, YOU ARE TWISTING THINGS TO MAKE YOUR POINT, WE ALL WANT TO RACE OUR PIGEONS, WHAT I AM SAYING DONT KNOCK THE GUYS WHO ARE TRYING TO DO THIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR REMIT, IF YOU HAVE YOUR WAY, WE SHOULD ALL BE THROWN OFF THE TOP TABLE AT THE SNFC, NOW YOU WANT THE TOP TABLE THROWN OFF AT THE SHU, AS GOOD AS YOU ARE AT WHAT YOU DO MY FRIEND, ITS NOT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO DO ALL THESE JOBS, STICK TO THE SIX JOBS YOU ALREADY HAVE AND LET THE SPORT BREATH A BIT. THIS IS MY LAST WORD ON THIS, SO LETS SEE IF WE CAN BE LITTLE FLEXIBLE IN OUR ATTITUDE.

WELL AS I SAID ITS A MATTER OF PERSONAL INTRPRETATION.
