Lol.Its an undisputed fact that solway have had good racing down the west side since they switched back from the east. Lanarkshire members will race what ever route they vote for at the AGM.....no pigeonbasics
Was it no voted in at the AGM John. Solway has had some great racing down the west for a few years long may it continue. Maybe perseverance may win the day.

I always congratulate the solway members Davey as most do on here. Of course it's true good fanciers down here take a lot of beating but they put the work in and get their rewards it wouldn't matter if you had the best birds sitting in the best area if you dont put it in you wont get it out. Regards the Belgium route......it will be what it is and I am quite sure the Solway will manage to time in.....maybe get a bit of east in the wind?
Lol. Is that right. Think the South have won Ypres twice in the races short history. Reims twice as Well. Am sure the guys doon here will be gutted to discover they only win cos it's first drop and nowt to do wae getting yer birds in great order for the job. Poor post Davey buy someone who should know better
I got my 5yr old gen reported in Bristol. Fella says it's wings were dragging when it landed, I said 'no wonder mate it's been trying to get home since Saturday' he says 'no....it came in Sunday morning' lol
There was plenty at the Gold Cup and made no deffo. The Snrpc pride themselves on great races from small liberation numbers. Can't see them giving up that
We have had good and bad races with joint libs as well Stuart but it is a no brainer for me that you go with numbers travelling in the same direction. Colin is right every organisation has had problems over the water this year. My theory is atmospherics but who knows.
It's my opinion Stuart that a midday lib is needless from distances that are very achievable in 10 hrs. The chances of coming a cropper milling about in the dark? Is that what we want for the Birds? Would there be some bleeting if libbed at 12 and they were times in the solway at night? Or would we then want to let them off at 4 in the afternoon? As regards line of flight. Reims last year with the snfc wasn't great and I certainly wouldn't put ypres this year down as stotter would You? SNRPC? Areas and Reims this year? No sure line of flight has much to do with it. So that's my opinion on it mate. No shooting anything down without putting some thought into it.
