Lanarkshire Fed Channel Race

[budgie]

With the race programme now being decided by the S.N.F.C what race do we use for our Channel Race.Ypres on the 3rd July (which would be my preference to give fanciers the time to educate their youngsters) or Falaise on 17th July. May i take this opportunity to congratulate the newly elected Officials and Management Commitee within the New Scottish National Flying Club and all the best for the oncoming season.The only post that does not seam to be taken is  that of the PRO  which i hope they approach the greatest scribe to-date the wee man fom Kircaldy Joe Murphy.

[wullie semple]

yes andy ypres would be fine and would also go for joe murphy for scribe

[ALF]

I'm sure Ian Henderson mentioned we were planning to go to Ypres with the SNFC at the meeting yesterday

[Guest bigda]

alf is that a extra race for lanarkshire under fed rules or national

[Guest Gareth Rankin]

50/50 for me Budgie, i see the benefit for as you say most of the fanciers would like to concentrate on their young birds when it comes to the second weekend in July but i have always been of the opinion that the federation members should have a race of 500 miles once a year.

 

What about including both Ypres and Falaise on the race program. ;) :X :X :X ;D ;D ;D ;D

[butcher]

bring back joe murphy

[lanarkshire lad]

Would like to see the fed going to falaise with the snfc to get past the magical 500mile ypres being too short and suits the east coast boys once again

its actually better than racing from falaise ,read my last post i said that it was better for OVERFLY

for the  west boys

[frank-123]

has the west section ever got a chance in a west wind from any national races

[hotrod]

well i won from reims this year in a strong west wind  enough said please beleive in the birds in west  bart

[johno]

ask hotrod he won the SNRPC Reims Gold medal race last year in a west wind 590 miles into Port Glasgow. national racing from more easterly racepoints such as Reims and Leige has produced a much wider/better spread of the early pigeons in recent years. statistics would say easterly racepoints produce wht appear to be fairer results.

Fifteen west section pigeons in the first fifty open from falaise last year including 8th open that looks ok to me hotrod.

[alec guinness]

I know what your saying mate but it does not matter about overfly ypres is too short a race for the west section to do well in my opinion.

The shorter the race is the pigeons are still in batches and with the drag will shoot up the east coast.The longer the race the pigeons are more spread out.

[hotrod]

WELL mate if the mighty lanarkshire fed is going to this race i think the drag would be to the west :) :)
