all except point 3 seen reasonable not all fanciers have mobile phones especially older ones , when would you have to text in by ? within an hour of clocking ? this in itself would cause problems as what about the guys who are working and before anyone says if they were true fanciers they would be at lofts lots of guys cant get time off at the drop of a hat or get someone to wait at their lofts all day in the hope of seeing a bird remember the guys who you would probably depend on to do this probably have their own birds at the race ps- a lot of races are held over so you cant book time off in advance where would you have central marking , where would be in the middle or there abouts, Solway, oban, Orkney, and the south east , all are members of snfc and send birds

villa real should be out of sight in this match by far the better team

I was told there were a few from up there at the national 450 ish miles now that's some fly for a youngbird they fly in section g , they should in my opinion have their own section the other side of the moray firth

weldone james top bombing :egyptian:

but you were going to leave them without food before guys on the forum told you that you had to feed them you were going to leave them with only water for a week FACT I think you shocked a lot of fanciers with this proposed cruelty

nobody gives a new start crap birds I would look in a mirror before blaming the birds it might just be you are the reason your birds are not performing

its not the 1st time hes been offered birds ant was supposed to send rings to one of the top fanciers in his own fed 500 milers , but never bothered even contacting the guy again I was at the sale when the offer was made and accepted

correct fred I was contacted by gibby telling me we were going to Alnwick

well done james :emoticon-0137-clapping:

well done dougie :emoticon-0137-clapping:

returns in the club from what the members had home last night was 71%

I know stevie my point is that old birds are well down the road by mid may to catch these inland nationals , so only 2 free weekends where transporter is not doing anything so would need 2 races a week to accomidate the any age races as by mid may 170 is too far to start y/bs my thoughts were old birds on a Saturday any age on a Wednesday liberated so that they would be returning home around 5pm/6pm for the guys who work , if possible

hows that going to work in with the old birds jim they start april to get the distance into them for the national races probably be about consett 170 miles mid may or would you have 2 races a week 1 for old birds and 1 for any age

WELL DONE DOUGIE A CHEEKY WEE 1,2 ^_^

pm= sent m8

mark were at thornton next week ask stevie to put on transporter for you just need to pick it up from there

well done alec and alan ^_^ ^_^

nope Aberdeen were worse returns wise hope more back now

well done good to see cem on the result

sorted it

Aberdeen at arniston 09.00 Dundee n angus arniston 09.15 Lanarkshire dunbar at 09.30 fife Berwick 09.45 any birds that didn't clear straight away were in the soup

yes rule 24 is not clear I looks like its giving organisations the option to identify y/bs or not it could also read that organisations can decide which method of identification you use wingstamp or address rings but they must use 1 of them the latter is what I think it means

yes that's page 13 rule 24 , if you read page 14 rule 26. it states members of all shu clubs should wingstamp all their young birds with either a) a personal tel no or address b)their club address or name that any member not complying should not be allowed to race their y/bs
