Combine Members can nominate maximum of 5 birds for Gold Ring Race, Wakefield, at £5 per ring. Ring number of these birds and money must be in the hands of Fed. Secs. before 1st April.

All Federations in the Combine were informed about this idea and if any members didn`t get told about it then I suggest you ask your own officials the reason why.

The information who have is wrong. Almond Valley were asked but never gave a reply.

Every year there is talk within Racing Pigeon circles that the sport is getting smaller and we will have to get together to survive for the future. However although it seems everyone knows this is the right way forward, from what I have seen in and around my area of Central Scotland, the opposite has been happening, with organisations splitting up and new ones being formed, who then compete for the same dwindling membership. There is something about reorganising the deckchairs on the Titanic that springs to mind every time I see that happening. For the reasons mentioned above I have to congratulate the committee members of the four organisations who make up the Scottish Central Combine, namely, The Fauldhouse Club, The Midland Federation, The North West Federation and the Scottish Central Federation, who have worked hard over the last few months to create a race programme that has been agreed across the four organisations to deliver joint liberations and convoying for the benefit of all the Fanciers they represent. This all started by recognising the simple fsct, that although the Combine members and others in Central Scotland had their own separate race programmes, in reality each week they were always liberating pigeons within a radius of 20¬ 30 miles of each other and spending lots of money sending smaller amounts of birds down the road. In fact at one time there were conversations taking place with other neighbouring organisations that could have created what would hav e been an Amalgamation of seven organisations and that even had a "Project" name 'The Scottish Lowland Amalgamation` That never came off this year, for if what the Combine are doing works well then I would hope further discussions could take place to bring the Combine closer to other organisations across Central Scotland. In the early discussions it was very apparent that organisations can easily deal with their first three or four races upn to about 120 mls. themselves, then joint liberations/convoying should take place. This has led to the Scottish Central Combine setting a race programme for 2015 that will deliver Srven Year Old Bird Combine races andTwo Young Bird Combine races that still includes the Yearling, Channel and Young Bird race that are in within the traditional Scottish Central Combine race calendar. The first of these Old Bird Combine races will have approximately 4,000 Pigeons competing for top honours, numbers we have not seen in this area for some considerable yearsa. At the last meeting of the Scottish Central Combine it was also decided to hold a Gold Ring competition for the Combine Young Bird Race from Wakefield on 29th August 2015. The rings for this race can be purchased fron the Secretaries of the Combine member organisations for £5.00 each and every penny received in payment for rings will be paid back out in prize money. The Combine is hoping to sell at least 100 rings to have apot of £500.00 available for the Combine members to compete for. So that`s a good news story to start the year. I hope I will be able to report on many more in the 2015 Racing Pigeon season.

Thanks for all the comments about the loft vac. I bought an Einhall wet and dry vac from Argos £80. Tried it out today with great results.

Looking to purchase a loft hoover. Anyone got ideas on best place to buy or best type. Or if any breeder has one to sell. Thanks.
