b.massey Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 He should be telling the pigeon fanciers of Scotland this on the SHU website poor show from the new president in my opinion Websites useless for sure I emailed him as he did email when lock down first kicked off Tbf tho it’s first time needed an update as Scotland has been in lockdown since that email was sent But I emailed him today to see if at least it’s in talks and the answer was yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattydoos79 Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 I rather wait to hear what’s happening but hopefully training can start hate seeing my birds acting like sitting ducks doing F all, the reason I got racing pigeons is to race them.

greigthedoodrysdale Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Shu has been a shambles throughout this. They will struggle to get in the office for transfer papers behind the door. Imo we should all be RPRA who have been great throughout. That being updating Web site facebook pages or even a pm or call from Ian Evans. Last update on shu website 2015 .on the upside the shu will be in a good financial position next year with minimal spend for 3 months.

Kyleakin Lofts Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 COVID - 19: Training: UPDATED 22 May 2020TRAINING AND RACING PIGEONS IN SCOTLANDThis statement is based on the principles set our by the First Minister's announcement on Thursday 21 May 2020 and Friday 22 May 2020 outlining a policy for implementing Phase 1 of the easing of the lockdown policy by the Scottish Government Individual loft trainingIndividual loft training will be permitted from 28 May 2020. This is based on the advice from the Scottish Government Group TrainingIn Phase 1 of the Government strategy, this allows individuals to meet up with one member from a different household, while adhering to the social distancing requirements of 2 meters. Therefore group training of 2 lofts is permitted. However training in larger groups (more than two) is NOT permitted. Addidtional InformationIn no circumstances should fanciers from different lofts travel in the same vehicle. You should also be aware that NO RACING is allowed in Phase 1 relaxing of the lockdown and I do not expect any notification to be received before the next stage of easing of restrictions takes place.
