Dear A Herd You may already be aware that I leave my post as Scottish Homing Secretary on Friday 26 March 2021. It has been a pleasure over these decades getting to know you all. Many of you I have not met personally, however, I have probably spoken to every one of you on the phone over these 30 plus years when you've rung with a ring query or for advice on some issue or other. Thank you all for you courtesy and respect, I hope for the most part I figured out what procedures were the right ones to resolve your situations. Many of the 'characters' from the early days of my tenure are, sadly, no longer with us, but there will always be new faces to take their place in the history of the sport in Scotland I'm sure. Early on I came to realise that every fancier is unique. Each of you have your own version of widdowhood or natural racing and every fancier has a system of husbandry particular and bespoke to their own loft. There will always be the 'lucky' lofts, the names that seem to appear at the top of every result but as a great golfer once said 'The harder I work the luckier I get'. But success also means different things to different people and I have heard many a proud boast of a pigeon that has made it back from across the water in race time just making the result and many times about pigeons that find their way home against the odds and after the race is over. That you can get to the end of a season and still have birds left in the loft is a success story in i'ts own right as liberations face increasing numbers of birds of prey, unexpected adverse weather and countless other obstacles but that is the nature of the game. I hope 2021 is a good season for you all, I will miss the banter I'm sure and our often 'lively' meetings and debates, I hope I've been a safe pair of hands for the SHU All the best Yours sincerely http://www.shuonline.co.uk/utilities/images/shuSignature.pngMrs Linda Brook Scottish Homing Union Secretary
