Lanarkshire Fed Race Program 2009

[Guest bigda]

once again, the  lanarkshire fed let the members down, and the silence is deafening, again

don"t want to make it a open race,  with £3,000 prize money ,for the real supporters of our fed

and then trying in the other hand, to hood wink us in the other by stating too Manny members for new transporter, what about our own transporter,the national what size is there  transporters, and how Manny do they have,  again we have to wait on  eastbound

for an in house open, again demanding the thief share, from the sprint men's  support in the  Â£3,000 pound prize money  bracket, witch in turn goes to the same old faces,  who have there hand in the cookie jar, and are  the ones  always  wanting  status quo as not to up set there little apple cart, and using this  saving money crap and  going with some other fed its about time the prize money was dealt evenly  and 2 or three opens at  the 180 miles

races for £3,000 prize moneys after all we  the sprint guys  are in the majority and its about time this was  addressed at the fed agm just how Manny are distance minded  holding  down  jobs in our fed, better  still name one sprint guy  :-/ :-/ :( i wish we could have our fed back as its was  meant to be   :o ??)

glad to see the division coming to the lanarkshire fed, and if you don't take heed, the midlands could flourish,   once they have there new transporters, we will be at there mercy

for transporting pigeons as we are  now getting the name of  the   static fed, and the begging  tribe,  money in the  bank , whats that for  expenses, again any  good  from the

bird age, on our own is lost  supporting  distance racing in the fed as its not supported enough by the very  members  controlling it, and are not  prepared  to put there hands in there own pockets and pay the  real fee to the  lanarkshire  fed which should be £15 min

per bird  for  distance racing if you want it, and i feel the fed  is failing the  lanarkshire  fed  by not highlighting this to the distance men, as its that part of the   fed that's  not making money and we should have  more  shorter races as that's where we make a profit from keep distance racing to the ones who know  how to run it,  if you cant afford to send to the distance  with your own fed, at least you can  change you family of birds and fly sprints

better that, than looking like the  poor fed you portray :-/ ??) ??)

[naedoos]

If you're that concerned why no start a Lanarkshire sprint club??? :-/

 

My understanding was that feds exist for clubs to transport their birds at less expense than it would cost if clubs transported on their own!! :-/

Bigda if guys like yourself went to the distance races the birdage would be higher and the races more profitable.As we distance fanciers go to all the short races in preparation for the distance events,i would suggest that it is us that is subsidising your racing not the other way round.

Bigda i am not a member of lanarkshire fed but i can't  for the life of me see were  your coming from ,for a start you have 12 old bird races i would say you have 9 sprint races thats 75% of the races are sprint  ,young bird races are all sprint  so what do you meen?

[Guest IB]

 

could someone explain to a thicko like me what is a "fed open " race. surely all fed races are "open" to all fed members and are not "open" to members of other feds

 

I was in the same boat myself. When I first kept pigeons an 'Open' was a race open to everyone, e.g. the Dalzell club organised an Open race that members of my old club, Bellshill could send to. You picked a few birds for it - those that you thought had a chance of winning.

 

When I started up again, many years later, 'Open' had become a Fed Open - a race in which all club members of that Fed competed for the same open or section pools. Members also sent by the basket-load, and no, members of other Feds can't compete in it (in our case anyway).

if that's your interpretations of how it works, why  are  they then 6 or more feds in Scotland, its the only  hobby that i know

that is wanting to out live there means, we  the sprint  men are subsidising  distance racing,  at a time when  there are

2 national feds  providing, distance  races, surely  they can support the one or both, to let them flourish, totally,100% have there own race program for distance only, no sprint allowed,   the  racing that only a hand full  of members  send to  200-300 birds max is that worth £3000 prize money from  the sprintmens generated funds, don't think that's fair do you

and if you class our race program the 2 come back races

are to  aid the  distance free  training  as they all ways seem to come in between  distance races now if it was to help

injured birds or late breeds  have  3 of them  one after the other not split to make it look as if  you where concerned as to the wealth fair of the birds as i know and you have other ideas about the use of the come back races and its called mooching from the fed on the cheap, for  training

you say that with a straight face, tell me how manny  distance fancers , back the  yearling  opens,  and at least 80% of distance fanciers dont  pool in those races, as a result the fed makes nothing from  your pools  invested is aways the bare nibs  for yous  till eastborne , and further, thats no use to  the fed, and to get young people interested

Fed provides a service for the majority of its members, so how can it be mooching???

 

Why no just get a few distance doos n join in the excitement wi the rest o the guys

I am deadly serious in claiming we subsidise your racing,if distance fanciers go to the first five ob races in lanarkshire fed,think of the birdage that we are contributing.If you took these birds away your birdage costs would be a lot higher than you are paying now.Also we distance fanciers in lanarkshire fed will send our young birds to the full program,once again take that away and your birdage costs would soar.The come back races are there for birds that have made mistakes,maybe have been hawked and had to be stopped missing most of the program,granted these races suit distance fanciers,but we pay our money just the same as yourself.And cannot see how you think you can monopolise lanarkshire fed for sprint fanciers.

if that was my choice to fly the distance its the distance club i would be supporting, not begging from

[naedoos]

Feds are there for everyone, are you really that sprint minded or do you just run oot o birds before the real racin starts

[hotrod]

I can't get this guy were is the distance races he's talking about ,one overseas race two middle distance races ,must have banged his head at birth

[Guest bigda]

like all the sheep in the fed sent down, the west cost , by distance fanciers in charge

who in turn,  didn't  send there own birds down the west, surprise surprise who they represent,   and to add more, they don't practice what they preach when it comes to democracy,   ask them that. :-/ :-/   

[jimmy w]

in my opinion the biggest majority of fanciers start from the first race tae the last ,win loose or draw 'use all there pigeons then start to break up there team after about 8 races ,to sit them down for the longer ones ,now the fed is looking forward going with snfc ,dont know about all this beggin talk .jimmy

In the End we will only need our New Geraldy Transporter for 15 Weeks of the year and this was the reason for looking at the trailer option and hiring a unit / driver. ;)
