DO THE MEMBERS NOT THINK ITS TIME TO SIT BACK AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND REFLECT ON WHAT WE ARE ALL DOING TO EACH OTHER AS SO CALLED PIGEON FANCIERS, WE ARE ALL LOOKING THROUGH THE SAME EYE GLASS, AND WE ARE PUTTING OUR OWN INTERPRETATION ON WHAT WE SEE, I DONT BELIEVE FOR ONE MINUTE THERE IS A SINGLE PIGEON FANCIER IN THE COUNTRY THAT DOES WANT TO RACE HIS OR HER PIGEONS, OR IS TRYING TO PREVENT ANYONE ELSE FROM DOING SO, AND THAT INCLUDES THE OFFICIALS OF THE SHU, AND BY THE WAY THE SHU DO NOT TELL ANYONE THAT THEY CAN OR CANNOT SEND THEIR PIGEONS FOR TRAINING OR RACING, THEY ONLY GIVE ADVICE ON WHAT THE GOVERNMENT RULES ARE AT THE TIME. WE ARE LIVING IN UNPRESEDENTED TIMES,AND THE ONLY WAY OUR SPORT IS GOING TO SURVIVE IS IF WE CAN WORK THROUGH THESE PROBLEMS TOGETHER, AND REFRAIN FROM ASKING OFFICIALS, WHO DONT ALWAYS GET IT RIGHT, TO STEP DOWN, WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO TAKE ON AN UNPAID JOB, JUST TO BE CHASTISED AND BAD MOUTHED, WHEN THEY THINK THEY ARE DOING WHAT THEY CONSIDER TO BE THE BEST THING TO DO AT THE TIME, WE ARE GETTING BACK TO THE OLD SAYING "LET HIM, WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE" I DONT THINK THERE WILL BE MANY STONES THROWN. WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN AGENDA, AND WE DO THINGS ACCORDING TO WHAT IS BEST FOR US, I CAN UNDERSTAND PEOPLE BEING A BIT CAREFUL IN HOW THEY INTERFACE WITH OTHERS, AND TRY TO KEEP THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILY SAFE, PERSONALLY I HAVE BEEN TO ALL OF THE ACTIVITIES IN THE CLUB LATELY, BASKET CLEANING, BASKETING FOR TRAINING, ETC,ETC, AND I OFTEN THINK ABOUT, WHAT IF I CATCH THE VIRUS AND TAKE IT BACK TO MY FAMILY, GOD FORBID. SO GIVE OTHERS SOME CONSIDERATION, WHEN THEY HAVE TO MAKE THESE DIFFICULT CHOICES. I NOW BELIVE WE ARE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, ALBEIT SLOWER IN SOME AREAS THAN OTHERS, BUT THE GOOD THING IS, WE HAVE CHOICES AVAILABLE TO US, TO EITHER TRAIN OR RACE OUR BIRDS, AND WHAT EVER CHOICE YOU MAKE, NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT [APART FROM THE LAW OF THE LAND] TO QUESTION THAT CHOICE. SO HERES HOPING ITS ONWARDS AND UPWARDS IN THE WEEKS AHEAD.

PERFECTLY IN LINE WITH SNFC PLANS FOR TWO RACES, NOW WE NEED TO FIRM UP RACE POINTS AND TIMING, SO HOPEFULY THE SNFC PRESIDENT WILL BE ON OUR CASE SOON.

WHICH WALTER IS THAT TOMMY?

HAD A 2MTR GAP UNOFFICIAL MEETING TODAY WITH SNFC PRESIDENT BILLY SMITH, WE DISCUSSED AT LENGTH THE POTENTIAL SNFC RACE PROGRAM FOR 2020,THE PRESIDENT IS AS KEAN AS THEB REST OF US TO RACE, AND DID INDICATE, THAT IT IS HOPED THAT WE HAVE AT LEAST TWO RACES WHICH WOULD CONSIST OF ONE INLAND NATIONAL AND THE CHANNEL GOLD CUP RACE FROM WHERE EVER, THIS OF COURSE IS ALL DEPENDENT ON THINGS CONTINUING TO MOVE ALONG IN A POSITIVE MANNER, SO THIS NOTICE IS JUST TO GIVE A HEADS UP, THAT ITS ALL UNDER REVIEW AND FURTHER INFORMATION WILL BE POSTED BY THE PRESIDENT VIA THE SNFC WEBSITE, AND I BELIEVE THE PRO WILL POST SOME INFO IN HER NOTES VIA THE BHW WEEKLY PAPER, TO NOTIFY THOSE WITH NO INTERNET. SO LETS HOPE THINGS CONTINUE TO MOVE ALONG IN A POSITIVE AND THE RACES CAN BE ORGANISED SAFELY. HOPE ALL THE MEMBERS ARE STAYING SAFE AND WELL, AND I HOPE TO SEE SOME OF YOU SOON.

Tommy McDonagh, I do this job in this SNFC because I love the club and competition it generates, and we don't get paid for what we do, so it would be very much appreciated if you would refrain from these knee jerk comments about people's honesty, or, if you know something that I don't, have the BALLS to say it, I'll be at your store for feeding one day this week, you can tell me then.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BOTH OF YOU.
