Should b a great race with everyone involved... Got to envy the guys down there especially in southern England the amount of races open to them is brilliant. 

Would love to see the BICC open up a marking center around the border and allow everyone to compete. 

Don't think it was too far away from being passed last year. I think there would be more interest north of the border than they think

Would anyone go if the SNFC or SNRPC went along with them if it turned out to be a yearly event?

[jbee]

I know of a couple of fanciers already talking about it

[Kyleakin Lofts]

Given the current situation, costs, etc, it would appear to make good sense for all National Continental races.

Would rather scottish organisations had a programme with them as I said about bicc section for Scotland gives you the chance of some extreme distance... Bordeaux or Agen international races would be very interesting.

Yes if this is something that is going to happen every year it could possibly be something to look into especially in the current climate regarding costs birdage etc
