Well said mate its in danger of becoming a middle distance club.Ithink it was formed with long distance racing in mind.

Call me old fashion if you want but i would like to see the snfc have one inland nat from eastbourne .The gold cup at alencon the longest race from niort and a falaise as the last one that way ithink you would get more doos at each race which would make it more worthwhile.

Personally i dont think ypres should be included at all icanny get my head roundabout that distance.

A couple of good ypres races disnae matter just wait till you get a stinker it will happen just a matter of time.

I would like to see the snfc drop the ypres race altogether.The distance into central scotland is around the 450 mark we already have an eastbourne race which is almost 400 miles and a newbury just over 300 miles far too many middle distance type races in my opinion that dont have the magic of the 500 plus events.If ypres was dropped there would be more doos for the 500mile races there only a certain amount of doos to go around jmo.

Bigda numbers dont win races its quality that win races.

I would rather look after a few well tested ybs than plenty untested ybs because at the end of the day there aint too many good yins in a pound.Thats a fact,

Mister h is looking for revenue , most pigeon fanciers are looking for good pigeons and the only way to find them is by testing them.I suppose thats ok if you just want to fly the shorts.

What iam saying is a 90mile raceis no problem to a fit pigeon wether its its first race or not. wether its cold or warm.

Bigda you dont need to be albert einstein to work that out.

THe problem is the route fea carlisle the doos come right up through perigrine territory.

Not at all GEt rid of the junk early.

What about the guys in the east with their christmas race .I still say were getting too soft with pigeons if they canny come out of 90 miles in a cold day wit good are they gonia day you .The next time you go for a bag of grub bigda ask for a bag of cotton wool aswell.

They used to start at carlisle it didnae do them any harm i think were all getting too soft .

I wisnae at the race programme meeting wid somebody PLEASE tell me the futttin programme.

Blaz i dont mean to be condesending but where you are on the east its a totally different ballgame for us guys in the west.

Clyde derek has had some top class results over the years and is a dedicated pigeon fancier maybe his open results this year have not been as good as previous years but he will trying again next year.

Ru the orangutan in the clint eastwood films.

Ive seen people do a bit of A licking to acheive their goals.

Will someone let us know a secret and please tell us the race program.

NoNo it wisnae in it was ruffing it.

Sorry did it develope fret marks after it came home.

Did it have fret marks when it came back.

What do the members think of a pigeon which was lost from a hard race and returned after a few days and dont show any signs of fret marks.
