in all fairness to the national

[Guest bigda]

Like it or not, feds going along with national clubs is here to stay.

 

Solway Fed have been going with the SNFC to the last channel race for years now, 2004 rings a bell

 

not through choice, but  through necessity to get racing, but  the  situation is different,  if you have  a high birdage entry and are  not all members. of the national, then your are looking for advantages, and  drag  thats not fair   on competition, the national men only want  fair racing but if there was to be 1,000 birds extra from the one area and could possible be 2,000 birds weather permitting, if allowed again to happen  well the national will die a  sudden death  IMO

well this is one pilgrim that will be joining the SNFC next year .for a £10 i got to experience racing my birds in a national. so if i am joining the SNFC through having a taste of national flying .how many more are doing the same . i think it is a good idea to let feds double in too races like this and will always get my vote.cant wait to get the buzz of clocking my 1st bird form the water. as for us pilgrims doing anybody out of a place or ticket well bigda. any bird that got a ticket be him pilgrim or national man woman or a child . they deserved it and WELDONE TO THEM.

Was having a look at the result from Guernsey SNFC 1948 the other night,it was dominated by the west also the pool money was unbelievable.11th open £450 that was a small fortune back then,just goes to show how the BOP in them hills have changed things.

 

well this year was very close to another first for the west section  from alencon

they hills must have got a lot of good birds over the years who were tired and easy prey

you would be happy if that happened as you were dead against it at the start of the season

lanarkshire would be mad not to do the same next year  

and hopefully some more convoying with english nationals

[frank-123]

yes but aint the west getting the drop first

 

think you will find the south get the drop first

I think for all Nationals this has to be the way forward. Our combine this year made the NFC program our channel program. We had more members sending to the NFC than normal and we had the opportunity, to be first club, first combine, 1st section and even 1st National. As a result NFC section D birdage is flourishing and we are competing against the very best.

The more competition the better for me and the opportunity to compete with the Coopers, Shepherds, Dennys ( Rankins, Delboys and Hotrods) is what its all about. If I were in Scotland I would certainly be arguing and canvassing for more feds duplicating.

yes the west had  good races this year,  hope it dose not  affect the national,  as  these thing have to  be aired just now, to save  a revolt  at a  later date,  on normal times  the wind

at this   time of the year is usually  predominant west winds, but for some strange reasons the wind  for the last 2 years has been different,  but as i say hope  this dose not cause any trouble,   for future racing

After 450 miles racing there are not that many birds flying together,national races are the most prestigious form of racing.And if you look at the best in Britain mate they don't concentrate on fed racing.So national racing is still at the top of the tree with the fed coming a poor second place.

get all the pilgrims in get them all in the nats and have a big race boys.

 

the more the merrier.

think the problem lies  from what i can read between the lines is , the inland races and the high birdage from the one area, but not all them members of the national,  the unc  have distance where  numbers  don't  affect the result as much  but look at Newbury, eastbourne, and Ypres, OK the birdage was down   but that was only because of the  two disaster races that every one in Scotland had  that same week
