Maybe have Ypres and the longest race different weeks and also i would be in favour of Wanstead Flats instead of Newbury. Would also like proposed Race points in writing and on the agenda instead of everyone trying to have a go at making them up on the day.

I would like to see the longest race to be held on the second weekend in July, could perhaps go with the big north west england clubs from Niort, a couple of plus points are there will be a bit of breathing space between races and least there will be a true longer race for everyone.

 

Ypres if its still on the cards to be held on a weekend on its own...... this will put to bed the conspiracies with joint race marking with the other race.

 

Scottih national racing was once regarded as the best of long distance racing in the UK, the racepoints are gradually becoming shorter with now 2 inland races :-/

Well said mate its in danger of becoming a middle distance club.Ithink it was formed with long distance racing in mind.

I am getting the feeling that we want to do away with at least one of the inland nationals. :-/

Personally after my returns from the 2 inland nationals this year i wont be sending anymore yearlings to them but i sent 4 to Ypres and had 3 of them by lunchtime the next day so i know where my yearlings will be going from now on ( And i lost more old birdrs from the inland races than i did yearlings)

The members are the SNFC and they will decide the programme Frank regardless of profit. The inland races obviously make a few quid. :-/

all well and good the snfc members decide but profit should be taken on board in the final choice of programme
