I am like 95% of the fanciers in Scotland, pig sick of politics all the time. Lets just race our doos in harmony

Not quite Frank......

Atlantic , cheers for your reply, I look at your race programme with interest , are you going to propose this for consideration at the race programme meeting ? Closing date fast approaching for proposals.... Personaly I do not agree with it, buts thats me, the longest racepoint in the past has produced the goods and gave the club its recognition , firstly from Cholet ...... (sorry couldn't resist , look at my avitar ) then the two wonderful performances from John Proctor as well as the other gallant birds that were timed. But if you say a huge chunk of the membership are wanting a 2nd inland national I expect to see more than the norm that usually attend the race programme meetings this year. Finance....... stuff that , its for hooray henrys who think they can count, I work for a nationwide / worldwide company and see the money boffins everyday telling me how run my department only to get a polite worded reply. As for West section fanciers racing to my loft they are more than welcome , utmost respect for them, where do you reside ...... dont be shy. I would love a loft in the west.

Hope not , the members will decide what the race programme will be if they can be bothered to attend the meetings. When the SNRPC was formed it was to be the next best thing since sliced bread with the view of promoting and encouraging long distance racing in Scotland...... not to be a sprint society The Messac race is question or Cholet , St Nazaire , Tours or where ever the racepoint maybe have all been convoyed by other organisations so finance isn't an issue.......the feeling of winning one is magnificent.

Hmmm, what race do you mean??

Scottish national races are getting shorter, we are fast becoming a nation of sprinters. I am not knocking back inland nationals, as we have won one with the SNFC but a major overhaul of the race programmes is required. I would like to see inland nationals scrapped , back to 4 channel races and spread them out a bit more instead of trying to cram them all in over a 3 / 4 week period. As for the politics.......... shove it

Well said Frank, spoke to Pete earlier, understandably he is over the moon.

The SNFC & SNRPC share a transporter............problem solved

Is anyone else going ?????

We are sending, really looking forward to it.

Sent 2 Good luck to everyone

Have a peek at Paul's website for info www.longdistancepigeons.co.uk Cheers Chris

Good luck to all from Tours and Ypres

Congratulations Papa Hope mother and baby are both fine

Cheers for the info Bart, however, I was led to believe the rubber was always placed over the metal ring

Any idea where the lucky winner may be

In at 14.51

Cheers Vic

Sending 3 or 4, think its around the 320 mile mark for us. Good luck to everyone

Well done big man

Any news on a provisional result and probable winners ????

Well done to my very close neighbour Bill Pirie, phenominal flying by anyones standards, a great all round loft performance. Well done to all that timed in

Bill Pirie's loft is about 50 yards from ours, his birds have been flying out of their skin all season and his performance on Satutrday was simply awesome, he sent 20 and they steamrolled in, all home but teatime, a cracking pigeon and an equally cracking loft performance. Rooting for him that he clinches it

Any early indications of the probable winner

Me too Gareth , a cracking offer that by Jim Cullen.
