Federation Racing

[tiger]

Are we going to be sticking to the dates

Or perhaps the SHU should give us guidance?? It's as clear as mud get your finger out and let us know

[Adee1888]

they will be waiting on rpra doing the spade work

[Dooheed 5]

Its has been widely publicised that bird gatherings is still prohibited and Im sure they’ll let us know soon enough if it changes

[Kyleakin Lofts]

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.

The silence is deafening.

We can only stop ourselves as let's face 99 % of folk don't even know what we do for a sport, mind my labourer asking me one Friday what I was for doing at the weekend, I told him I race pigeons and he actually thought I ran along side them lol

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.

The Scottish government won't even know pigeon racing is a thing

That was fairly obvious last year

[Henrik]

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.

[geordie1234]

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

[PIGEON_MAN]

Single loft training is permitted as from today, suppose that is Scotland as well.

No, it is not. Single loft training in Scotland is not allowed until the 2nd April.

[tyson]
