LANARKSHIRE FED

[Guest bigda]

that's good to know vincy,  maybe  that will get our own ,  committee on the the case  as we

are  miles behind the rest of the feds,   when it comes to  stuff like that, keep up  the post guys, any one else getting lottery grants for transporters,  as this could help us all in the  future,  the more we know the better for us all

[ALF]

 

has any club, had money from the lottery, or fed,  for transporters,  and what is the ruling on it, if any in Scotland,

and whats the latest from the  transport committee in the lanarkshire, any thing to report ;D  

 

I think you should talk to our fed president as he told us all that he had a friend who worked for the lottery and we would be entitled to a grant of up to £100,000  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[hotrod]

bigda we in the glasgow fed got a grant towards getting a new transporter(i think), and all clubs that got a grant got geraldy paniers instead of splashing money on elecronic timing like most other clubs/feds did we, thought of our birds first, ourselves second .

when your aplication goes in you have to submit a copy of your rules and with some rules in lanarkshire fed ie not been allowed to be in  this and that ,you will probably be knocked back.

gordon geddes has his own transporter  as well mate.

[Guest bigda]

is it for sale  hot rod

[hotrod]

gordon has just bought it last year so no i dont think so.

[Guest bigda]

how Manny birds dose your transporter hold  we think about our birds  but the biggest problem we have is the amount of birds that we  race against ie  7-10,000  and what type of transporter will suit for any driver  7.5 ton or we employ our own drivers  2 off  for the year :-/ H G V all mounts up that's

the dilemma we face

[hotrod]

that is a problem mate you will need two big transporters to transport 7-10'000 birds, i think ours holds about 1000 birds each , there or there abouts depending on how many you put in each panier.  We are in with south lanarkshire fed as well and they have a 2000 bird transporter, and there is a trailer belonging to forthbridges club that can take 600/800 birds  so we can cover around 4,800 birds at any one time . and as the distance goes out then we go in whatever transporter will suffice.

[Guest bigda]

how Manny birds in a  geraldy pannier that is legal  

[hotrod]

some put in 28/30 but we put in 25 cocks and 26 hens, and 22 each for oversea's races.

[Guest bigda]

well the way it looks  for us then  is  5 x  7.5  ton trucks   any drivers,  what  do you think that will set us  back  can we get  funding from europe,  as we seem to be in it at times :-/

[hotrod]

sometimes it pays to be smaller mate.

I have said i would'nt mind helping to get donations Homer and i've actually been offered a few already if the fed goes ahead with it...

[Guest bigda]

i dont mind helping  out  the fed homer49, but really i would like to  see the  the whole fed levied £250  that way  no one gets a free ride, and if it was  brought in,  transport would not

be a problem   ;D ;D

what have you got 400 members so 400 x £250= 100,000 that what those transporters would cost EACH  mate so you would need to levy each member £750  to get 3 of them

 

[HOMER49]

The Clydesdale midweek club got a lottery grant last year for a geraldy trailer.I am not sure of the exact amount received though.

 

Hi

A small trailer for behind a car 600 birds

The secretary Mr Robertson is a member on here so he will tell you the cost

maybe you should start your own golf club for sprinter golfers and just play the front nine and get everyone that plays the back nine to pay more and extra for par 5's as you want at 500 mile races  in pigeons lol

AWARDS FOR ALL GRANT WAS £50 SHORT OF £9000
