HOW CHEAP IS YOUR FED

[hotrod]

Its for 10 old bird and 6 young bird races. Yes Stuart it counts the 2 inland nationals + Falaise . If you go through the national you still have to pay the national birdage . If you are lucky enough to fly a big team you certainly get value for money at £65.00

well thats much cheaper than it used to be when i raced in fenfrew /ballochmile amal as you still had to pay for channel race on top mate, and renfrew is going with glasgow this year , i was wondering how this could be sustained , check the deficit next year , it WILL be much much higher next year me thinks,think kenny boy should have checked all this out before any figure was maid

aberdeen fed £115  for the whole year as many birds as you can muster up   ;)

 

This includes our Fed fee and helps club secs as they dont have to handle money every weak.

willie does your fed members all go to inland races with SNFC OR DOES YOUR OWN TRANSPORTER GO TO THAT RACE POINTS ALSO JUST WANDERING  8)  8)  8)

[Williedoo]

Our Fed races from Newbury and Eastbourne are conveyed by the SNFC.

Walter  long ago Aberdeen fed and the north fed and the highlands fed went to gether to the longest o/b races but what happened  factions in aberdeen and the north caused problems so now the north are on their own  losing money at these longest race points hopefully in the future some thing can be resolved  and we all go together   you know the story the same as i do Walter

cheers Alan

[Williedoo]

Allan,if Aberdeen Fed went to our two longest races under our own steam we would be out of pocket by at least £1000.

[Williedoo]

Thats inland races Iam on about.

[kirky]

you will find its 34/36p per race but when it gets a bit farther it would go up significantly, we find that once payed, then no more weekly birdage charge, then more money goes on the pools.

 

we only pay extra when we go over to french race points, its 35p down to coast 245miles.

 

 

[BLACK W F]

Willie  i know your fed would be well out of pocket  just like the north is out of pocket  what i was pointing out it would be great if the feds went together again  but the same people from both feds  would do all to stop it  thats what happened last  time as well  you know   its a pity

cheers Alan

Allan even the last race convoyed by SNFC would be a lot of help what date is eastborne this year willie 8)  8)

[walterbmasson]

[Williedoo]

Walter,thats why we have to start on 18/4/09,does not suit everyone,but thats how  it works out.

[Roland]

 

£115 for whole year now thats cheap

 

Would suit me. I pay over that for one club ... and weekly prices in another North Rd. club.

now If I paid justrt tha for one... and club fees only at another, then I'd be qiddies in. Golly if the two clubs took it in turns to charge individually for birds on rotating years then every second year one would really be putting ome monies together. But that will never happen.... because (Unlike ME) they'd only send  in the club who's turn it was for one off payment.

If one gets my drift. Obviously both clubs wouldn't be able to charge the one payment... but club Fees only and then if only 15p a birds sent in that club... it would  go straight into the coffers. Niether club has duplicates here... indeed can't of hand think of any now thy do. Rusden and Irthingborough both now defunct. As is Kettering and One Corby club and Fidon, A Wellingborough, and... bit depressive here, think I'll shut up lol.

roland club fees is your club additional monies in clubs is for trophies pools etc i still think going by the distance our fed radious covers its the cheapest you will get new members welcome  8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

yes walter. north of scotland fed has a 150mile pick up and goes to every race point   on our own. 15 pound fed fees 20pence birdage up to 330mile 45 pence at360mile 50 pence at 490mile. and its because off this cheap prices membership has remained at about 165 for the last 25 years. i believe that this cheap policy has proved a winner when most feds in the country have lost about 50 percent members.   keep up the good work. john thompson.

I totally agree John. As I said before the North of Scotland Fed is a great example to many and does a tremendous job against a very difficult logistic situation every week. As you say 150 mile trip to collect all the clubs before even leaving to go to the race point. The Fed has been in good hands for many many years with first class people at the helm long may it continue.
