what do you think ove this

[kwango]

hi i fly in the west durham amalgamation and we basket tomorrow for saturdays race from folkestone. but. the up north combine basket on friday and they are at folkestone as well. our pigeons have to spend the night in the garage at there place. when the up north combine pigeons spend the night in there lofts. do you think that is fair as we all get let up together from folkestone. i cant understand the people who run this organisation surely you would think that the pigeons welfare is there first concern. why cant we basket on a friday aswell its only right if we are to compete with other organisations as we are. a night in the loft is beter than a night in a basket stuck in a garage. so come on get it sorted out.you who run this wda

[greenlands]

What reason do  the fed give for basketting on Thusrday and are you the only one's who do this.I could understand it if the birds were being transported on the night ????????  Lindsay

PS.What time do the UNC basket on Friday it's got to be very early to get the birds on site and settled.

[Guest bigda]

totaly agree there mate,  :oall in the basket, all in the garage  :othursday for them also

[rooster]

i think its all wrong we basket Friday morning pigeons get picked up around dinner time , i think its the same at Bourges you go Tuesday and we go Wednesday and both liberate Friday ,

[REDCHEQHEN]

It should be Thursday for everybody

all the UNC have to basket during the day for combine races - a working mans sport - I don't think so

 

I can't even get the proposition passed at club level never mind higher

 

so as the UNC have about 9 combine races - thats 9 days holiday to use up for people working - just to basket the birds - never mind the holdovers - some people can't get the holidays and rely on others to basket their birds for them

 

the WDA have got it right

[Guest]

i dont know the ins and outs of this but can i sugest that the reason is the durham amal officals think its right to basket there birds on a thursday to suit its members(working man ) and also allow the pick ups to go on when fanciers are their to help arranging something this size must be a nightmare is this the 45 thousand birds ? sometime things cant be 100% perfect for something this size

[kwango]

so our pigeons have to have a night in the basket when the unc pigeons stay in the loft. is this not an unfair advantage

[REDCHEQHEN]

You can't please everyone

[Guest]

not saying its fair just saying maybe your officals think its what best suited the maj. of its members why not ask them why?

[Guest]

You can't please everyone

Your members voted for evening basketting

UNC members voted for day time basketting

the only way to get it changed is through your club/fed/amal - AGM

[kwango]

our club get out voted every time what ever we ask for it gets knocked back  they take no notice what we say as we havant got enough votes so we get out voted every time

[the pigeon_milker]

its unfair and wrong for the birds

all the ones in the basket the day before will be battering each other very time they are disturbed for 24 hours more than the others that it self must stress them out more + food & water controlled by them must have its toll on the birds ability to perform on the day

[ALF]

It will be interesting to see how the 2 organisations do racing aginst eachother and i think it will be well worth the members taking note if they think it's against them so they can go to the AGM with facts & figures about the race ;)

i know how you feel but thats the vote! that is what the maj. wanted how would you feel if you couldnt get time off work to get the birds away thats not fair either so as redcheq says you cant please them all

[kwango]

glad someone has seen sense you are bang on with what you have said its only common sense. cheers

There's 4 Alf

 

UNC, WDA, DC and NNA

 

I don't know what the basket arrangements are for the others

Same thing applies

[peterpau]

Well it certainly don't seem right or fair, but good birds will still perform well at the distance after several days in the basket. I'd be inclined to have some thing to say but ? Cost and time will be a major influence. I wouldn't be happy but I'd still send.

Before voicing an oppinion, I'd like to know the oficial reason for such. Example WHY is it convientent for the birds to be shipped Thursday? Must be a reason. Personally I'd feel my birds would be far better suited for this - Natural! But the simple reality is, IF your Fed could get them - and is able to take for Basketing Friday with the others it may well be the case of it being in place all ready. Let's face it, it is just a matter of 'Checked and Seal' baskets being lifted onto the convoyer  :-/ Has your Fed made this this own thing in the past because it suited the FED as a whole? :-/
