3 out of 7 Hard going for the birds the day hope to get a couple more but will see .

North of Scotland Fed up 7-15 Swalwell North West wind getting stronger coming up the road.

I have been trying to keep up dated as to us getting racing from over sea race points but all this ticking boxes to order ie vets visits ,registration ,are confusing but with what i have read it obviously means a great cost to the fancier that likes to put a bird or two .When are we getting our entry forms and race points so we get time to consider our way forward .

Well done Ryan and all that took part ,that must be one of the highest number of doos away from the club for a while ,well done .

Well done to you all tricky day .

This if i read correct states vets visits etc this will put a lot of guys off from now on i would say,pity.

Just a thought who thinks this rings are hellish tae put on ,yesterday i it took me and the wife 90 mins tae put on 22 rings .Ok so i know i am getting on and have health issues and the weather was bluddy freezin but any way is there any easy methods some one knows eh.

Its hard to take in that Mr Birnie and a few others i presume can still think they can go with ignoring the fact that a vote of no confidence resulted in a vote against him yet he puts out more requests to fill in more voting slips .Yes these questions are relevant but surly taken within a normal meeting .I do hope the SHU gets a grip and sorts the problem out this week.

Whats happening now there must be some one out there knows what going on .Just been sorting out all paper work pertaining to keeping my doos and what a load of crap ye collect so that brought me to think of the big question ,WHAT THE HELLS GOING ON .Now i am nae interested in who said what to who and all the politics just some one involved on taking on the top table to come on here and explain whats happening at this moment and by who .At this rate we will all be asking to join the Moray Firth Fed .As for the ruling it cant be spoken about on here there are 90 or so members i am led to believe and for this reason bring it into the open on here is the best way to spread the word.

Are any of you lads paired up yet ,my shed is not far from the house so facing south the sun hits it about March i dont race youngsters a lot if any so no hurry for me .What guides your pairing time ,just a thought see if any fowk still looking on here ?? where have fowk gone . Hope you all had a good Christmas .

Well done to you and your members and a special well done for keeping your members informed of whats happening nae leaving members in the dark .

What is getting me is where is the balance sheet should it nae be out yet regardless of the confusion in the fed the secretary should be posting them out .Each FED member has the right to go over this prior to any meeting .The thing that amazes me is how does Mr Birnie think it possible to drag himself back from this shambles so get the balance sheet out to give us some thing to read while this gets sorted .This reminds me of Nero fiddled as Rome burned !! Mr Birnie is this you ? give us a break .

I was just thinking about buying a hoover for the loft floor ,question is do they really do the job without getting blocked .I have plastic grills on floor so the birds dirt is not tramped on so it is real loose,the one i was looking at was the one sold by Pallets ,what do you lads think.

IMO, trying to pull the blinkers over each and every Federation members eyes by saying no venue could be found for AGM leaves me having considerable doubt about a postal vote .I also have at this time reservations on part of the letter received this week stating that if winning Mr Birnie and his committee would take care of any other agenda ,to much going on to leave as is .I think the amount of confusing issues being raised by present top table warrant no less than a proper AGM .I have just finished reading the 2021 balance sheet for the SHU and i noticed it stated that the North of Scotland Fed had 110 members that would not reflect the correct numbers with the lads breaking away to race with Moray Fed would it ???.The other thing i would ask when are we going to get our balance sheet as this would have to come out before agm would it not ?. I have just posted back my vote choosing option B as i believe any one with a point of view or strong opinion should have the right to be heard in a democratic way.

I wonder why this always crops up just before christmas ,its been the same for a few years now i think.

Got mine one in each arm,stiff arm Covid side for couple of days a little discomfort ,then feeling of day 2 days later but i still think vaccination is very important for your own protection .I got mine Thursday last week.

I have had a helish 3 month with COPD and Angina playing me up and on top of that took bluddy Covid so its made my probs worse now ended of needing oxygen when going about .But thanks for your replys .

In Scotland are you allowed for feds to have their meetings ,or what is the rulings as regards the Scottish Governments restrictions .I have lost track of the changes that have been made .

Being sick of young bird losses over the years ie bad weather ,cancellations ,hold overs ,yb sitting in a transporter in humid thundery conditions the list goes on and on , didnt bother pairing early rung my first youngster mid to late April /May just fly them at home . I know i probably lose some next year but at least they will have a better chance IMO racing as old birds i will just wait and see .

Well done Jim great result for you ,and well done everyone else taking part .

Well done all,as a matter of interest is the chap Dorward a relation to Louis Dorward ??.

A very well done Jim 2 in the trot ,well done to all taking part.
