  6. North west up at 10-45 in l south east wind good luck guy,s
  7. I sent 19 think the club sent 120 well down some didn't send prob because of weather good luck to all
  8. Can't disagree with what's been said about the money side that's the reason these races started but the nat eventually got it's self out the money situation with some very hard work from a few very good dedicated fanciers John Grey been one of them yes at the start the extra money from inland race helped but the bulk of the funds came from the true long distance fanatics sales/ etc. and the big question is does the means justify the end iam not saying don't try and cater for the fanciers that want these racers but if wee could get a sub committee why not let the snfc organise combine for the whole of Scotland and keep it completely separate then hand over to an elected combine officials but before that the snfc needs to plug the big black hole that's leaking money that's the hard part wee are all suffering the effects of falling members / birdage but they can be solved
  9. Have read both your posts john/ Andy I was on the snfc committee at the time wee voted for the 1 st inland nat and it was said it would be the ruin of the snfc and what it stood for and I admit I voted in favour of the inland I wish I could turn the clock back some might not like what iam about to say but here goes the snfc was started for LONG distance (over the water) now wee have two inland and the more wee allow this there could be a situation when wee end up with more middle distance members than distance and if put to a vote wee could end up with more inland races than distance let's get back to basics combine racing inland and nat for the distance as for the shu running the snfc the snfc are the founder members of the shu the 1st club formed was the snfc so I can't see that happen if you are feeling let down by the guy,s leading the snfc then put your self up for the jobs but even if wee don't like it they are trying there best yes agree they might need to take note of what the members want JMO
  10. Iam away with 95% but my race controller is one of the best doomen in the country so my faith is on him his best will be in the basket too so even if it goes wrong I won't be blaming him I've been the 1st race controller putting them away all the best guys hope wee all have a good race
  11. My son is cuming up your way tomorrow he could pick up johns bird if that's ok
  12. Walter I applaud any fed that try,s to consider the birds being in the basket any more than needed that's what many are doing this week end and some say the weather men never get it right but it's my opinion they get it right about 98% of the time the one hard part is if the the wind picks up or changes the time will be out and and many of us fanciers even thow wee think wee know better can't see that just sometime even the weather men aren't sure look at the winds for this w/e they can't tell if it's east or west
  13. It's a sad day when snfc members are talking like this about an inland training race I refuse to call them a national race shows the change in the club do away with both and make Ypres the 1st race let's get back to what wee do best ok let's here from all the sprint/middle distance iam expecting a slaughtering but JMO
  14. Forecast has now changed for tomorrow but looks worse for sun?????????

  19. They gave it back but just didn't expect amazon to pull something like that
  20. All you can do now is the same tomorrow and hope you don't push them over the top Andy it's only a short race so wouldn't do any thing daft at this stage
