central & east of scotland Amalgamation

[andy]

we had very few losses when its was the amalgamation, absolutely first class racing... fell away in the final year when a lot of feds pulled out... 'lofts in favourable positions' etc etc, we all know it was the best doo on the day who won the race in this type of competition right up to as far north as aberdeen

Very few losses Willie cos the Pentland Fed birds towed yours up the road. LOL

 

[stevenf]

going through this thread there are a few winners of the amals on this site that posted replies

does anyone think it will happen again ? most have said the losses were minimal & during the racing season there is alot of threads on losses so you would think we should be doing everything possible to prevent this plus save on the cost transport if its shared

 

[Ian McKay]

Lets see if we can get this up and running again

 

I will go as far as saying I am sure the ABERDEEN Federation would like to see this happen

 

So lets get together get a meeting arranged

 

Agenda Amalgamation racing

 

Pick our races

 

Lets get it sorted

 

Nobody will do it for us we need to get together soon

Common sense at the forefront.   :)

 

I may add the same thing needs to take place in the west of Scotland.

years ago we used to have "the east of scot continental club"[more birds went to that than any national now why not have "a west of scotland continental club"  and have two different racedays , two seperate races,,,, but plus the nationals  :-/,,,, not enough members,, not enough money ,, not enough,,,,,,,, trying ;D

yes, a meeting was arranged with the officials of the feds interested, cant remember where it was as it was when I was vice president, the secy and president was there, I then took over the presidents job, the Fife Fed transported some of the other feds, one of the problems was baskets the other feds didnt have them to fit our transporter, they had to get baskets from the fife fed, also our transporter could,nt go up to pick up birds they had to be brought down, as it was going to cost more money for 2 drivers as one would use too much of his time doing so, but it was a good thing, with the transporter going down the road full.

yes, but I would,nt leave it to the officials. I would send a letter to be read out at the agm's, let the members say, I think you would get a better respond, rather than officials just getting the say so, I think this was brought up before to start it again, but dont think it went to the members, then if ok'd by members have a meeting of the feds wanting to join.

[TORNADOLOFTS]
