Here numb nuts when do you ever go to a National so it’s *expletive removed* all to do wae you

Good points , I brought these points up at a SNFC committee meeting many ears ago but there are so many more members have email addresses nowadays, it is deffo a goer.

Yes Del, it won't improve the racing but would save money which is vital in the modern world for all organisations to maintain cash flow.

Four SNFC races per season, O/B distances to Central Belt

1.First week in June 430 miles (Ypres, Arras).

2.3rd week in June 550 miles (Reims or Rennes alternate years).

3.1st week in July 600 plus with another organisation to assist with costs (Troyes)

4.3rd week in July 500 miles (Roye)

 

Forget inland Nationals!

When federations get to the 280 mile stage of their programme then the country should be split in 2. East and West with one federation from each area transporting the pigeons, also the same at 350 miles. The facilities are already in place to do this with Lanarkshire and Pentland having the capabilities to transport the pigeons. You would then have a Semi National or an Amalgamation, (call it what you want) for 2 weekends of the season. This can also apply for a young bird race too.

Great results this year, but returns have been poor here in the west, the returns in the YBN must be well under 20% except Del.

I was a fisherman for 26 years and never ever seen a perigan fly over the see ,and certainly never seen one on a boat , there's fisherman on this form here still at sea and be nice ta know if they have seen any , I've fished Faroe , and Iceland , at the lines in

Yes Del, we lost plenty at club and national level but the point was John said good returns which wasn't the case in the west but looking at the birdage in the YBN and I think most had poor returns in club races.

See if you send them then be prepared to lose them and I'll say one of the Nat season's in years .you can please some of the people some of the time but you can't please them all of the time

must agree with john m8 and best returns ever for me 10 at ypres all home 3 at gold cup all home and 2 at roye all home dont know how the returns were in the inland nationals i did not send to them or the ybn

[Delboy]

As you can see by the poll I put up, a large majority want the inland nationals dropped. Very interesting.

[Froog]

Is that your view also?

as it stands 48% want to do away with the inland nationals and

52% want to keep at least 1 of them

[Kyleakin Lofts]

I'm not a member, so wouldn't vote, but I think they should both be dropped. Federations should form Combines to go to these places. This would teach pigeons to return to their own general area and would be an ideal step before going to Nationals when they really have to think. The National was set up for the distance. The one drawback is that these races will be money makers, so if they are dropped, be prepared to pay more for overseas racing.

I agree with that, Combines make more sense, also will stop our fed racing being dominated by Nationals

[Delboy]

Id like to see the combines back and the national get back to what it was formed for, distance racing.

can you not win sections in inland nats? I want them dropped also, so we can stop our fed programme being dominated racing against you guys....keep it to distance racing.....Race across north sea, 500 miles to everyone, bet you wont vote for that

Well only you guys can make it happen

[dal2]

Which combine is the solway racing with? I think the North Fed's should have a test race from Oslo and we can judge the returns.
