me a bit of a nostalgia buff frank ,but there have been loads of great national winning doos over the years from all areas of scotland in the SNFC,and even these past few weeks we have new birds who will go on to be national legends.fantastic and always gets me going. :D

there not bad doos and might just be your bird for next year ,the hen we got tonight has scored twice before with the national. :) :)so happy to see her. great to see fanciers getting doos back.

bill frame strathaven springs to mind,davy elliot yes,would have to do a bit more thinking but there are a couple more. :)

it was only recently that the format changed from 15/1 to 10/1 regarding the winning of diplomas,and also with the introduction of silver awards giving the fanciers and pigeons of the SNFC a better chance of achievment over the season,the longer distance race (this year tours)is well catered for imo with all pigeons making the result being awarded a diploma,to change the current format to allow more diploma winners imo would be a drop in standards as other uk nationals already practise this. :)

thanks for that m8,i will pass on your regards. :)

got my second tours bird tonight,was glad to see her as she has scored twice before at the national so another one for next year. :)

you will recieve a diploma m8 timing from the longest race,although it will not count towards silver and gold awards. :)

well done andy on winning SNFC YPRES 2011.

well done crombie & meechan,also all section winners,and all the fanciers who made the tours result, :)well done alf 1 doo at each race and on both results!!!!!! ;)

there is a rule in place frank year 2005 which covers most of this now,off to bed will look the rule up later.

same here frank,my great m8 john harwood,on a good day i could hit a golf ball into his back garden from our bit, different sections section e and section f.

:lol:

same here frank,davie is a great guy and whatever the out come still a great doo,not sure what the answer is m8,this will come up again as there are a lot of lads in the west section from this area who if in sec d would be flying against broxburn east calder winchburgh etc.not sure what is best. :(

yes youngy takes this race very seriously,great record youngy and hugh is never too far away ;)

spot on m8,dont see what the rush is,we are a nation of moaners sometimes. :)

i see your point frank,but most of this has been covered at SNFC agms in the past. :(

now lewis thats central scotland patter.you would not get away with that in the west section. :lol:

flew myself with a great deal of success in section/region f for 20 odd years and imo in a favourable position,have flown in section e for the last 7 or 8 years and with a less favourable position imo we have done ok.

spot on lewis,if we all keep going we will get our turn,well done again young man and remember next time not to leave your clock slip on the table. ;)

midland fed boundry 12 miles from Airdrie cross frank.sections are sections boys we have had some great fanciers past and present lying in the east of the west section,look at this years gold cup,great fancier,great birds,great location, imo very hard to beat. ;)

well done slim, i take it you guys are 1st section f ??? :)i think that duncan "budgie" hogg camelon might win section e. :)

well done mate,great start. :)

well done davie and lynsey,and also well done the rest of the uddingston guys,special mention to wee mick who i believe won the averages. :) :)

good news del,a few more than last year but as usual not that many about at 600mls.

well done alf,600 mile racing is not for the faint hearted and these doos are like hens teeth. :)
