well ian if you cant see that this rule is in there to destroy the long longest flying birds your not interested in them the rule says 4-30 to 11pm now we dont expect birds to be libed at 4-30 but there expected to fly till 11pm on night then rise at 4-30 in the morning now ian if your not following me yet the longer the birds are let up in the morning its impossible to get home and if you think there are any birds flying at 10 to 11pm at night i would get a check of the brain box so the birds are being forced to give up at least 1 hr to 1/2 hrs take that off vel where does the bird land up in the result sheet well ian am i coming close yet now the sad thing is the birds flying 180miles to get home shorter birds say 10 miles the bird would be up and away but not if they had say180 miles they take longer to get up try and reverse our positions my bird is in the clock and your bird is locked oot 150miles from home but if the longest flying bird was up earlier in morning would have a better chance in getting well up the road and if wind conditions were right even timing on but this is definately nnot going to happen as you can see so why not have nmid day libs for the longest overseas races not taking in ypres as that is a day race

dina ba s stupid fa are you 550 fa reims ony y the rules are being broken every year and you must be a real crank if you cant see that do what the post says read the report they nhave no intention in letting the doos up as rule 23 so scrap it and make it so it suits every fanciers not just you lot south o the forth

ITHINK ALL MEMBERS HAVE SEEN THE CONVOYERS REPORT FOR OVER SEAS RACES FROM 2010 ::::: START OFF WITH REIMS GOLD CUP RACE due to extreme heat birds watered every hr till darkness ( RACE CONTROLLER ) phoned to say the prospects for a early lib was EXCELLENT and he would phone at 5-15 am wheres the national flag of scotland no all for one here where is RULE 23 AT MISSING right enough phoned at 5-15am AND REPORTED EXCELLENT CONDITIONS LIGHT NORTH WEST WIND ------- YES NW -WIND AND TOLD TO LIBERATE AT 6--15 THIS IS AFTER BEING TOLD THE NIGHT BEFORETHAT CONDITIONS WERE PERFECT FOR EARLY LIBERATION i dont think they know that some birds have to fly 650 miles ( AFTER THIS REPORTS FOR CLERMONT AND REIMS THERE MUST BE A MID DAY LIBERATION FOR RACES OVER 600+MILES MUST BE MID DAY LIBS as this is scandelous as this RULE IS A JOKE 4-30 am to 11pm ( w hich has never been aderhed to since pigeon racing began ) AT LEAST WITH MID DAY LIBS THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS HRS OF DARKNESS AND ALL BIRDS HAVE TO START RACE 2ND DAY AS PER THIS GREAT RULE 23 WHICH MUST OF BEEN MADE FOR A MID DAY LIB ------------ ( BY THE WAY ALL OVERSEAS RACES HAD THE SAME OUT COME EXCELLENT CONOITIONS FOR EARLY LIBS BUT THE OTHER TOO WAS LIBED AT 6-30AM this is blatently catering for 480 to 500 milers and ignoring the task of the poor 600+milers or no chancers the way its being handled just read the report its set oot and this is the trend at every long distance event in the SNFC

this was a annual vote for fanciers to put an x on gold cup race sheet for what race point they prefered but most fanciers prefered not to vote and was stopped

everton beat them 2-1 and go 8 th

it would be a good idea ta give jakie the 2% or add a couple of min onto his time after clocking in i think he would jump at that cheers walter

thats what ive always thought surly letting rings go on in 2010 are through the moult at youhg bird national SANTA CLAUSE TIME

same here for a while

THE X FACTOR IN DOO S MUST BE A GOOD SELLER

SAME HERE ALF this last few days hardly got on jost the heed

lanarkehire lad was that not the wilton bionic dordins that massarella got rid of for cheating

cracker

YES YOUR RIGHT but they were the birds that crossed well up in fraserburgh for the ritchie and whyte and myself and i am sure some aberdeen fanciers has them to thank alec rae had them also but as you say the solway king bird was a gold mine for masseralla when bob whyte was down with me in 1974 he was paired to 4 hens at 17 years of age he was in about a 8x4 wire cage at the door of a prefab beside where the snowball was in a glass bottle the rest of there birds were like a bunch of broiler hens we were walking through them and picking up any you took a fancy to i can tell you at that time there was no guarntee it was the real breed you was paying for

is LOUVER 11 NOT IN AMONG THEM GREATS 1st 4th 7th 9th open barcelona 600miles+

santas choice no 2

MARK MC GHEE AND HIS 2 TAILS TRYING TA CLIMB THE FIRST RUNG O THE LADDER

STUART i cant see why more does not see this wait and see the amount of birds that go to french nats this year as if its like the last few years it will be bleak and another way to look at it soon if you send you will get in the first 100 if you time a bird

IAN i am not getting involved with this issue but why have the members been stopped racing in there own clubs and fed if the SNFC wants to ban any of the members for resigning as it definately says if not joined by 1st of april /////(NO) YEAR BOOK OR RACE SHEETS WILL BE SENT OUT and its entirely up to the fancier if he wants to join or not this is a free world you can join a golf club football club any kind of club you want you join if you if you dont join its up to every indivudal for god sake every club and fed member is made to resign every year till they pay there fees if rejoin pay your entry fee as a new member this is a very delicate subject as you will find oot ..... that is me oot o this one cheers walter..

danny SNFC FEES ARE £25 WELL THE £6 PENELTY IS IF YOU ARE NOT JOINED BY 1ST APRIL this great club added onto the subscription rule4 which if you are not joined by 1st april you have resigned theres no year book or race sheets will be sent then you must resign by letter if you dont the SNFC WILL BAN YOU THROUGH ----- S H U SO YOU CANT RACE BIRDS WITH YOUR CLUB OR FED ------ AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TOO OFTEN FORCING FANCIERS OUT OF THE SPORT FOR NOTHING to a lot of fanciers including myself the scottish national is specialist club for 5 6 7hundred miles and every year you just havent got a bird to compete so why stop them from racing in there own club and fed its leaves a bad taste in your mouth //////// i think this is what your getting at danny

danny i am just looking at the rule just now subscription shall be payed on or before 1st april in any year including year of admission £25 any member whoes subscription not payed before 1st april shall pay a £6 penelty year book race sheets will only be sent out to members who have payed their subscription for that year . cheers walter p.s is this what you wanted

i had no birds away that race and was in to wilsons i left when it was dark robbie mc donald was leaving at that time and i went home about 3miles to inverallochy it was about i think 11pm when the phone rang and wilson said he just timed his hen fantastic performance the hrs of darkneswas 4-45am to 10-45 pm and i am sure this was why the hrs of darkness was changed to 4-30am to 11pm by this birds outstanding performance which i may add has never been another bird timed flying so far and so late at night 17 hrs on wing a true champion
