hotrod

is this for snfc members or both and it depends on how many each members sends like a ratio( ie sent 4 timed two in open) because some could send 20 and have 5 or 6 open diplomas

is that you ringin y/bs already mate ?

great post dougie .apart from the praying bit im a non believer

thanx walter, my appologies again for missreading your post .

walter i would do away with inland nationals , i thought you were having a go at the SNRPC sorry ,for me if you have read any of my posts i want water races ,then if the two sides can agree to sit and try and get back together then you can call the races nationals, as the way it is now no one can call their race a national ,not the snfc or the snrpc .

just in from work and cant believe this thread is still running ,what i can say is i cant believe some of the posts on here, walter masson making a statement (mickey mouse national) i used to think you were a level headed /fair guy ,but after reading some of your posts you have went way way down in my book ,and black w/f why have you got (northumberland ) as where you reside but talk about come up here and fly doo's (meaning the north of scotland ) whats that all aboot?

naw joe im going to gran canaria ,its cheaper and its warmer

nothing wrong with that side of france chris and would vote for this race ,and of course the west have the best doo's all the east boys know that 'their only pulling our legs

hope the weather keeps up me and the misses are off to gran canaria in feb

100% of the time rab not 99%

yes frank that why we need a race further than andrezell ,prob tours ,that would get my vote ,but it all depends on whos' going were and on what date .

thats good harry its over 500 miles then .

Wish a had one or two frank would love to have a go .

i think the UNC told both clubs what the wind was maybe some one didnt listen .

for years even before the split the (nantes)race only got 400/500 pigeons at most ,i think it was after going to niort the birdage for the long race dropped dramaticaly.

im surprised no one mentioning the cracking wee dark hen no 23 ,my 1, 2 ,3 is no 23 first no 5 second and the red i think no6 ?

i think the reims distance is ok ,i wonder if chris little could post his distance from reims ? prob about 520/530 my guess .

600 mile to whom frank ,reims is nearly 600 to me ,so if you say 600 to central scotland its only 550 to the south but nearly 700 to the boys in the north where do you draw the line , its a hard one to keep every one happy. and i agree with you a (national) should be from across the water ,the inlands should be called derby's jmo.

some o the west boys dougie

NEVER MIND TOURS HAL WIT ABOOT NIORT OR SAINTES ? NOW THIS IS REAL DISTANCE RACING sorry im shouting

yes harry and i need every bit of it ha ha . GOOD PIGEONS/MEN WILL WIN NO MATTER WERE YOU RACE .EAST OR WEST

i think you have it wrong mate the more east you lib the doo's the better chance of winning in the west with a proper overfly .

its the bermuda triangle down that way dougie .

think you mean 100 mile off west coast of ireland danny?

i think the wind determins what line the birds take coming home from france if the wind is west the birds will hug the east coast or near to it and if its east they will come up the west coast till they hit bandit territory (cumbria ) who knows what way they go then . certainly not north . well most of the time ,i remember years ago a top flier in the south timed in from france with birds along with his heading north west and no one timed these birds where did they go ?ps this happened regularly
