That was a surprisingly good first race for the Aberdeen Fed today. The weather did not stop them 1 hour 59 mins for 79 miles. 10/10 here.

I got it from http://www.vet-medic.com/, i usually get it from Hyperdrug but as you say they are out of stock.

I got 100 doses of Colombovac yesterday and the expiry date is still 7th November 2016.

There was a rule book came out after that. As far as i know only the club secretaries got one. The one i got is in the club rooms somewhere, never had to look for it.

Archie asked what other way A vote could be won.He did not state membership.

Some need 2 thirds majority.

Thanks Ian, now i know the rule. Would not like to be the chairman in that scenario.

My understanding of this is that it has to be a majority vote by the members present at the meeting. If its 10 for and 10 against you do not get in. No casting vote by anyone.

Thanks lads.

Well the clubs that put Berwick forward as a race point and there must have been more than one or it would have been the Race Committees decision, in my opinion put no thought into their choice,as i said before plucked out of thin air.

Berwick is nearly the same line as Alnwick and right on the coast and exactly the same distance as Arniston which has been tried and tested by us for years. So why did the race committee choose Berwick, a name plucked out of thin air i think with out any discussion of where it is or how far.

Well there was no time for my club to have a meeting as the Fed only gave one weeks notice that their was going to be one. The Fed in my opinion should have given the club secretaries 2 weeks notice so that they could arrange a club meeting with a weeks notice to their members. I discussed the above with my club President Alex Rae and between us decided as there was no time to call a meeting to go along the lines of last years programme with the exception of finding a new race point to replace Alnwick. Did the club or clubs that were lucky enough to have had a meeting so that their members could make up a race programme and had Berwick in it give the rest of the race committee the reason for their choice and its distance from Aberdeen. If they did i personally think the race committee should be done away with and the race programme decided at the AGM.

What i would like to know is (1) why does the Fed want to waist money on paying for all the members distances for Berwick when it is exactly the same distance as Arnison which is 97 miles. (2) why did the race committee want to have 3 races one after the other at 97 miles and then jump the young birds 63 miles to Consett 160 miles. Or is it that the race committee have no idea how far these race points are to Aberdeen.

Cant help with the problem, but the shop must have fibre optic Broad Band at that speed.

Well was it before you grew the beard or after you shaved it off.

Who is the guy 2 up from Sandy Robertson.
