av fed going to try and east scot amal

[Delboy]

would you think the snfc and the snrpc would lose there inland nationals if this happened

 

Yes, I think most people  think the inland nationals are losing there appeal, especially when there is an east wind ;D

The SNFC officials dont decide, the members wanted two inland races and thats what they got

[Guest stb]

 

that is as good a reason as any for trying to get it going again. too many feds going down the road with half empty transporters liberating 15 mins apart. not sure about dropping inland nationals as they seem to be well supported. how about a race from the coast 2nd week in july (hardly any racing into scotland last weekend at the height of the season)

not knocking it just being realistic with the birdage,  mabey bout 4-5000

nowadays  as most are nearly halfed in last ten years.

Its a good idea Jock, just watch out when its a south wind from the shorter race points if you do get it off the ground. When it was last going all the shorter flying birds ended up in the north of Scotland from about 200+ miles, luckily for us their transporter brought them down and libbed them at the Forth Bridge the following week end.I think that was the last year it was organised,and our fed might have even voted against going with them after that.

Yes, remember that and have posted on it before. Maybe my 2nd year back in pigeons? the North West Fed AGM voted to come out of it because it was felt our birds were being dragged north, especially the young birds. You could almost guarantee they'd be back 2 weeks after the race, having been brought back down & released locally.

av fed going to try and get east of scotland amal going 2010 open to all

 

think the clue is in the title jock "east of scotland" think almond valley is central scotland based and dont really think this will benefit the a/v fed members, certainly not the ones at "the tail of the bank" ;)

now now john this is not just about av fed , look AT the biggar picture first and foremost the birds ?

[Guest redwhiteblue]

 

thats what i like a positive attitude

 

here in central scotland we have the combine and we cant even agree with 4 feds, so what's it going to be like with 15/20 feds???

you know better than anybody why the scc failed

[blaz]

win lose or draw i won,t be one of the moaners .i would just like to take part in a race with this type of bidage. it wont be easy for jock so a bit more encouragement would not go a miss.

I have met hundreds of really decent lads over the last 35 years in the pigeon circles and also realise there are a certain amount of politics in the game but am always prepared to put them aside if it is for the benefit of the birds AND fanciers. Many of you lads who in there own right are probably very decent guys but maybe are needing to forget much of the past and look forward to the future. Just think and imagine having races with all these Feds and the excitement it causes and don't tell me it's no big deal because it is simple brilliant. !st Club ,  !st Fed , !st Amal  An Absolutely fabulous pigeon that that can rise to this test and get the result from 4-6 thousand  pigeons possibly, who knows; and this is only possible if we get together and WANT TO,  WILL DO and CAN DO attitude.  No negativity is needed . So I would say to you all think about this and have a positive attitude about it all and maybe it will get off the ground and bring fantastic racing to us all

well said davy

[Taylorsloft]

and the one thing to remember the 1st opens were shared Aberdeen won Huntington 5.028 birds .Dundee leicester 10.750 birds won by birdman4610 have all the results somewhere

bring it on   :)

[hotrod]

great idea john hope it gets off the ground . maybe the two nationals could drop the inland nationals and get back to two or three channel  races and let the feds /combines/ amals  take care of the inland stuff

[walterbmasson]

 

GO FOR IT HOTROD  GIVE YPRES A CHANCE TO HAVE A LARGE BIRDAGE A LOT OF YEARLINGS CAN FLY IT ON THE DAY SO WHY BU...R ABOUT WITH A NATIONAL FROM NEWBURY 260 MILES OUR YOUNGSTERS ARE FLYING A 100 MILES FURTHER AND TO PRAISE THE WINNER AS A GREAT PERFORMANCE IS A LOT OF CRAP YOUR RIGHT KEEP INLAND RACES FOR COMBINES OR FEDS [NATIONALS MUST CROSS WATER AND NOT A RIVER 8) 8)

[alec guinness]

jock if this is about joint convoying over 240 mls,almond valley,north west,w/lothian,midland,central and lanarkshire seems to have a much better balance.let the fanciers in the east coast do likewise. :) :)you never know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
