im not a member danny im a member of the other one (the snrpc)

[Guest bigda]

the good thing about the agm is,  with it been held in the lanarkshire they will be able to dominate the procedings in the  direction  of where the birds will fly  from, in  the inland  races. hopefully you will  all agree

not everyone danny but some . and to answer the first part im not a member of the shu so cant be a member of the snfc . although i used to be for many a year and was also on the committee for the last two years before the split.

For example if I where a shopkeeper …………

 

I run a traditional camera shop, dedicated to the pursuit of high quality images developed from film cameras. It is a lofty ambition specializing for the purists. If for some reason, however, despite what is said by the customers in winter time “I only believe in true shots from film cameras†,etc,   the balance sheet appears to indicate I only make a profit on so called lightweight digital camera’s should I take the moral stance this is a purist camera shop or face the reality my pursuit is actually being in some way part funded by the selling of digital camera’s or do I just decide to go bust and stop selling the digital cameras ? My belief is the shopkeeper would be grateful he could guarantee to keep his shop open and be grateful he can still participate in his specialism for which he founded the shop (He may even give a cynical smile when selling the digital cameras but …)

 

Indeed if you keep some digital camera owners happy you may just spur an interest in “real†photography and they will also invested in the film camera.

 

I do  think people have forgotten this is a sport crying out for modernisation, economies of scales. To some extend classic racing is a form of the future. Personally I would rather all races over 300 miles where nationals (or at least combine races)

I'm sure the Lanarkshire members will get the usual vote that they're normally entitled to same as every other club member, that's why there won't be any domination from any sections

yes i agree,  but pigeon men  up here  are like hillbilly's  and there feuds last for years ;D ;D

[walterbmasson]

hotrod it looks like the short races is going to take over there is no long distance doos left due to the sprint but you mention the birdage what has that got to do with snfc its a national open for the members that want to fly the distance feds managed to race inland all the time before the foot and mouth bird flue that is when the constution ended because they were getting the same prase as a bird flying the french races realy there is no change just put the NATIONAL BACK TO STATUS QUO  SURLY COMBINES can take over inland races

ur right john  

[soapy]

      hi walter  you got your opinion and i got minewhy should the tail be wagging the dog ,  to say that stopping the inland nationals  is gonna increase the birdage in french races isnot the case , i for 1 wont be going to french races and majority of my club didnt go to any last year your statements are a bit speculative i think, seems like you think if snfc was to stop inland nationals we woul be forced to send ours to get a decent programme , a bit selfish i think

[dal2]

surely we are a club that can facilitate all our members needs. The inland races do pay for themselves and if thats wot the punter wants so be it. If yer a distance man then you enter the distance races and enjoy jmo.
