This is where they need our support. I have attached a copy of 3 different variations of letters of support. If you can please choose one or indeed make up one of your own. Please ensure you put your full name and address on the letter and send to the Scottish Borders Council, the address is on the letter. We need to drum up as much support as possible and this MUST be sent into Scottish Borders Council within the next 14 days. Support Letter 1.doc Support Letter 2.doc Support Letter 3.doc

Thanks Davie.

Is it safe to let out our y/birds Walter?

Does anyone know if the birds are up yet.

Well done to my mate ALex Rae aka Bluedoo1 on here. Looks like he is 1st Region G SNFC Newbury 400mls and on the same day 1st Aberdeen Fed Newark 287mls. What an achievement this is as he got 6 of best racers including a snfc section winner killed by a predator during the winter. And well done clockman as you were the only one who predicted on here that he would be the Region G winner, but you and I know that he is one of the best fanciers up here and has been for about 25 years but very seldom gets any recognition. A BIG well done again Alex.

Sorry,I thought you ment the clocks that were set and checked on base station B,they would have the wrong actual clock in time it would be 2mins out although the velocity would be correct.

Yes, the correct clocking time would be 15.00 but that makes no difference to the velocity as the flying time is the same.

We strike our Unikon base station on with a Master Timer,so the strike time was 13.00 but the clock setter made a mistake with the base station pre setting the time at 13.02, when the masters time reaches 13.00 you press a button on the base station which starts the time in this case was 13.02 instead of 13.00. Which meant it was started 2 mins fast.

Going by the first post it was only the one clock (which was set on the club base station( A )that was reading the correct time) that was struck off on the club base station ( B )that was SET 2mins fast and still reading 2 mins fast at clock checking (which makes it correct as far as the velocity goes for the clocks that were struck on and checked on it). So all the clocks that were struck on and off on base station B will have the correct velocity. The one that was set on base station (A) ( which was set correct ), this clock would be showing the correct time when the bird was clocked but was then rung off on a DIFFERENT base station B that was 2 MINS OUT. So the clock is showing correct times on all counts it is base station(B)that is 2mins out,there fore the clock should be read as correct and no variation will come into it.

To put it another way, if the clock had been struck off on the correct base station it would not be showing it is fast it would be showing correct. But the time the bird was clocked would be the same time (it will not change) on both. So if the correct base station was used to start with the arrival time shown would have been exactly the same as the one that is 2mins out.

The thing is the clock wasn't 2mins fast realy it was correct, it was the club base station that was 2 min out and when the bird timed the clock was correct and that is the time that will show on the printout.

I would forget about this 2 min and treat the clock as correct, the arrival time on the print out wont have changed and will be correct.

After having a think about this would the birds arrival time as on the print out not be the true time of the birds arrival as the clock did not go 2 mins out over a period of time but at checking.

We should have all got 1 for nothing from Unikon. I had a problem last year at the SNFC clocks where a member had a champ with no pocket clock and I had to borrow a radio clock marker to ring it off.

Yes,we set time on the club base station manually.

Clubs in Scotland didnt get a radio clock marker.

Dont realy know.but if you leave them as they are you will only get a variation on the 2 mins.
