pre, booking for nationals

[Guest kev d]

ive been reading steve patrick(patrick bros ) of belgium and they dont have to pre book there

birds for nationals . we have to pre book up to  4 or 5 days in advance for the nfc , just wandering

any views on this , i would like it if we could just turn up on the day , also he said they dont even have to be members

of the national club to send any one can send . as long as your a member of a local club

I think its the BRITISH BARCELONA CLUB where you dont have to pre book your entries allthough you do have to be a member,you just turn up on the day of marking with your entries.

Hi Kev,That`s why we are so far behind them ,racing wise,organization /management wise,and we pay far more entrance fees to boot.

   It makes me sick,no thought is given to the small team man who just has not got the team to be able to garentee his1 or 2 birds are bang on a week after paying fees,it`s all set up for the big names,the way averages ect are set up in the NFC to suit massive flyers,i`ve seen brilliant small team flyers sending 2-3 birds against 50-130 and just been pipped by a coulple of yards for 2 or 3 bird averages,and the big team men get big writeups,andthe smallman,even though his results really is far far superior,gets no mention,so unfair,so many injustices done in racing here,it needs a big shackup startig from the top.

just what i wanted to here , good on yer mate , ive had this argument every time and once with a nfc commitee member

he sent 25 and it cost him over £150 just for his birds , ok im not botherd about that he can send 200 birds if he wants .

but set the cost so we can all afford to send decent amount of birds in stead of ones and twos like i do .

charging £3.50 a bird for a race of two hundred miles to me is a digrace

So why don't you guys do as I've done and drop out of the Poorly run and over expensive NFC and join the BBC and BICC as I did when racing was cancelled for bird flu. BBC and BICC conducted there affairs with great applomb where as the two clubs I was in MNFC and NFC made a real dogs dinner of it. There is no way I have enough birds to send every race but I can pick and choose as I wish. My small team of 3 cocks I started with still managed to get one from Palamos ;D
