Aye Robert, but you are interested enough to travel to these events. Perhaps the Ayrshire fanciers aren't. The ones from the south will be old Kyle and Ballochmyle Fed members, so perhaps also the transition to Ayrshire is not yet fully complete in their minds. They would have to speak for themselves on that matter. My comment was because I read these criticisms on their own website / FB page. Don't let that sprint pigeon know it is a sprint pigeon or it might not come back next time you send it over 250 miles.

Scottish Union was formed in 1907.

The information that I have been given was that out and out sprint pigeons wouldn't complete the course we race as advised by NRCC stalwarts. Whether that was because they race our course as distance races or because of the terrain, I do not know. I personally use these races as trainers for myself and now continue so to do as trainers for my untrained and unraced yearlings and latebreds. I have started racing with my south club also. I think from a commercial point of view, if only sprint panellists were invited, primarily only north road fanciers would attend, so distance panellists have a greater draw, thus improving the possible financial benefits for the Federation. Regarding attendance at Ayrshire's night, I am afraid I am unable to answer that one. I did notice on Ayrshire website / FB site that some criticism of the venue being too far north and requests for rotation. Apparently the south members didn't turn out as well as was expected. ANRF is primarily south Ayrshire based, so this could be a possible answer. My only experience of these nights are the last Cumnock night attended primarily by Fed members, not many from the north of Ayrshire and the last ANRF night where there was probably an even split between ANRF members and visitors from Ayrshire, Glasgow and Lanarkshire.

Who else do you want? It is usually just a three person panel and the Coopers are coming from the south of England. Two top international fliers and a top Scottish National flier seems a great panel to me.

Damp overcast start here in East Ayrshire.

Happy birthday.
