Dooheed 5 Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Its has been widely publicised that bird gatherings is still prohibited and Im sure they’ll let us know soon enough if it changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyleakin Lofts Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Travel restrictions don't ease until 26th April. If gatherings have been allowed by then, we will be OK. A lot depends on the general licence being granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJL Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 The SHU have issued regular emails to federations. The latest sent last week is that bird gatherings are still prohibited until the license is reinstated. This applies to the whole UK. The COVID restrictions vary between countries and travel restrictions in Scotland mean we must remain local. Horse racing is big business. Unfortunately pigeon racing is not. The SHU as governing body can’t advise federations to ignore government rules. Any federation which does would be doing so at their own risk. From past experience, trying to get advice from the Scottish Government or your MSP is a complete waste of time as they will only refer you to the advice on the government website.

Henrik Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Its all down to the General Licence being renewed, the case for that wont have been helped because of the new outbreaks of bird flu being reported down South. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie1234 Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 They are only allowing poultry outdoors on the 1st of April...I think it will be like that for the whole month of April before any further relaxation happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
