Big Davie Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Bigda, you right the Fed had to stand the cost of prize money, but if we had gone by ourselves we would have to have paid out your quoted 3000 pounds prize money PLUS cover the cost of haulage, convoyers wages, feeding, liberation licence, etc, etc, this could not have been covered by entries/birdage, so where is the loss, i can only see gains.

Big Davie Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Hi Frank I studied the race program from the top table and thought it was excellent a well balanced program for our yearling's through to Maidstone But when you have people whoses self interest over rides the majority of Lanarkshire members them Lanarkshire should be called The Pinky and Perky fed Homer The majority voted to convoy with the SNFC nothing to do with self interest
Guest bigda Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 yep, but should the pilgrams pay the going rate for our fed, as they are prepared to do for duplactons, with strangers, we would be well of at £1 -- £ 2-50 per bird we could go anywhere tell me this how come the national back slides to the u p n c when we went to ypres and went to the race we normaly fly from why where we not invited to that show
HOMER49 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Homer The majority voted to convoy with the SNFC nothing to do with self interest Hi Davie Yes the majority at the meeting app 90 members out of 490 I did not see one member from Lanark or the Forth who are totally pissed of with a certain element of Lanarkshire and its obsession with the SNFC races Cheers Homer 49

HOMER49 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Hi Danny Thanks for the introduction, have a friend called Gillette who would like to meet you ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Cheers Homer 49

ALF Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Look, there is no *expletive removed* way you have a loss if you are convoyed by an other organisation to a channel race. You know, it is a funny thing, how ignorant pigeon men can be sometimes. Imagine the SNFC suddenly refused to take feds and decided themselves, to get convoyed , maybe with the UNC or the NFC to their races. Think how federations would struggle , maybe not right away, but in a few years time, when their membership had dwindled even more. Lets stop the crap lads and just enjoy our pigeons. Alf, your the first nomination for the SNFC committee this year, this is where you will really be heard, you can even run the west section marking stations. My convenors jacket might fit ye Derek to tell you the truth i dont even know if i'll be a member of the SNFc next year never mind be put forward for the committe :-/ ;) ;D ;D ;D
frank-123 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 big davie your comments are full of commonsense something that has been missing on this thread since it started maybe more people on here who only have the interest in destroying our fed should take notice nobody care's about your political fight
Guest WINGS 04 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Hi Rab The top table told you they want to go it alone to the coast and had a race program worked out for this. Pinky was allowed to much leaway because who he is and his father was totally out of order Nobody at the top table spoke on the race program except John Quinn Cheers Homer 49 ALEC I WAS WATCHING YOUR MAN ON THE TOP TABLE GETTING TOLD OFF BY THE SECRETARY AND WHAT TO SAY AND DO AND IF ANYONE THAT WAS TO GET IN THE CHAIR AND TRY TO THINK FOR THERE SELFS HOW LONG WOULD HE LAST OR WOULD THE SECRETARY JUST DO WHAT HE DID THE LAST TIME
Delboy Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Hi Rab The top table told you they want to go it alone to the coast and had a race program worked out for this. Pinky was allowed to much leaway because who he is and his father was totally out of order Nobody at the top table spoke on the race program except John Quinn Cheers Homer 49 What kind of *expletive removed* statement is that. Why didnt you stand up and voice your opinion at the meeting Alex instead of having a go at folk that had the balls to do just that.
Guest Gareth Rankin Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Hi Guilty as charged Cheers Homer 49 Your guilty as charged of many things but overall in comes down to a man that just lacks Judgement, end off Also add to that a man that is no more than a coward, you had opportunity during meeting and at the end of meeting when we passed each other and yet your keep your insults at me and my father to a open forum. Spineless!!!
Guest bigda Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Hi Danny Thanks for the introduction, have a friend called Gillette who would like to meet you ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Cheers Homer 49 know him : only to well we never got on much, had a close shave with him once, i preferred his brother Vic when i was younger ;D
chrissyboy Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 I think Gareth Rankin put the time and effort into working out a suitable race programme for the east coast and has the Lanarkshire federations best interest at heart , i think he shows good leadership and the majority vote was for going with the SNFC so thats history lets hope we get favourable racing in 2010.

alec guinness Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 find it hard to find negatives regarding sending to the longer races with the national. :-/ :-/ :-/dont know the programme for 2010 but it appears the lanarkshire will be going east,a very wise move. :)
