  15. can anyone explain why there has been no report in the BHW for the SNFC Ypres race? the race was flown 4 weeks ago now, and I can see the SNFC Ancenis report in BHW today which was flown the following week???
  16. agree exceptional pigeons will race in any form of transport and combat most conditions encountered enroute etc. but when u consider the percentage of exceptional pigeons in any convoy could be less than 5%, we have to move forward with the times and give young stock the chance to be part of the elite for the future of national racing... because as it stands another 2 or 3 seasons like this year will end national racing, fact!!
  17. Why the biggest national pigeon organisation in Scotland (SNFC) isn't using Geraldy or very similar transporters is beyond me... they have been using them successfully on the continent for decades! Most pigeons don't see past the three year stage now anyway due to very poor racing into Scotland, so young birds brought up with Geraldy's will know no difference when it comes to shavings or not, and as there years progress as old birds... shavings used in such a close proximity like a wicker basket with 'X' number of pigeons in them is only going to cause dust inhalation and this will effect the pigeons upper respiratory system... and when in the basket for 3 days plus and we must take into account the number of holdovers in recent years, in my opinion is going to have catastrophic consequences, not to mention drinkers being contaminated with soiled shavings... So Geraldy transportation or similar is the only way forward to enhance the pigeons welfare whilst on long journey's to the racepoints... But on the other hand we must not get to carried away by jumping too far up the wrong tree, Geraldy or similar transporters will not stop the raptor problem, clashing or miscalculated controlling... these are issues the committee must be looking into and addressing before next season regardless of what style of transporter is chosen... A big problem that requires much research and not sorted at a quick meeting or AGM based on proposals from Fed's or fanciers who are only thinking about improving the chances of there area doing better at national racing, I personally couldn't care where we race from as long as it was an improvement, because this years racing has been shocking with most lofts wiped out, clearly evident when the SNFC can only scrape together 802 entries for its final event!
  18. Another top drawer pigeon rises to the top in the elite of Scottish pigeon racing with the SCOTTISH NATIONAL FLYING CLUB.... "ROSE" a 2yo Frans Zwols hen raced by Dave Baldie, St.Andrews, fulfilled Dave's pigeon dream by winning 1st Section, 1st Open SNFC Ypres this year, flying from 445 miles and 2320 entries. Earlier in the season this remarkable pigeon won 1st Section, 11th Open SNFC Buckingham, 308 miles and 4169 entries. As a yearling she was also clocked on the winning day from SNFC Ypres and won 172nd Open from 2324 entries. A true Champion...
