That would be magic having something like that again..

Maybe I got the convoyer wrong but what I meant was that gordon only takes our birds so far down the road before using some other transporter( I thought it was the lanarkshire motor but clearly not),my point is that this free's up our own motor after that and we could have extra races starting back at otterburn and going back out to wetherby or wakefield, this would give birds that had made a mistake or got injured a better chance to get educated for the following year. also this same idea could be used when we have 4 weeks in the summer between our last inland and our channel race.

 

The truck would be going to those races empty . you can hardly get enough birds to race the programe let alone add extras nowadays

 

the reason for joint convoying is to cut down on costs

in the later stages ayrshire were not  really competing in it

[fastblack]

we really need to make some kinda top races if they can have unc midland nationals durham combine why cant the west promote there own comb/nat/or amal

 

                              just a thought thanks

[Guest JonesyBhoy]

Defo.. should be looking for ways to unite fanciers and help each other..

[fastblack]

politics are ruining the game  just look at state of the country with politics jmo

[Guest stb-]

the combine was there for years but died a death due to lack of interest and support.

 

Think the inland nats would have had a bearing on this.

 

think you are to late for the combine now , theres not the same members and birdage

 

to make it a prestigious race.  The fanciers that are left prob prefer the inland nats and further for competition  now.

would that be the two races that you didnt go to last year ,as stb has said theres no enough birds , if there was it would be a great idea ,but sadly there isny

on the face of it sounds like a great idea but the other posts are 100% but worse than that that might put the final nail in the coffin of even the likes of leicester its hard enough trying to get birdage for them without giving some an out to go to otterburn

I can remember the west coast combine going to Avranches in the 70,s with 1 full catterals transporter plus smaller one ,

all the feds , Glasgow, Ayrshire, Ballochmyle and the then 2 kyle feds used to load at the old bullring in Kilmarnock.

wonder how many birds were sent from the area must have been 3000+

yip that birdage would be about right.  I Stoped going to the wcc when the birdage was dropping to a few hundred a good few years back. To many people sent to the races and did not go in the combine

[Guest JonesyBhoy]

All these feds still have a 300 mile or so race.. so it would be possible to come together for a WCC race from there..??

 

Thoughts..??

[Guest JonesyBhoy]

Well as it was said last night.. a lot of feds team up to save costs as its gets further down the road.. so whats to stop it..??

we cant even keep all the members flying in the same direction in Ayrshire let alone organise a combine , great thought tho it would be

i think in the end it was only renfrew and ballochmile that was left in it ,in fact i think one of the last races there was only about 40/50 birds entered entered in the combine from france ,its a shame because it used to a good gamble

[bibendium]

[duncandoo]

lanarkshire fed boy are too busy with infighting just now trying to put different people in different sections just to try to win fed tickets instead of trying to do what you are trying to do shame on them all instead of trying to unite the pigeon fraternity  and organise great racing it makes me cringe at times

[Guest JonesyBhoy]

You not think it would be good then with the current members of the Caladonian Combine and the ones which are missing from the old WCC to have one big combine..??

[Guest frank dooman]

 

yes prob lots more G/F S/LF F/Bridges loanhead and now R/F
