frank-123 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 even you hot rod were not thinking your bird would make it home that day in such a strong west wind i believe you were away training when it arrived but such a performance although fantastic is pretty much a one off most races favour south easterly located lofts and up the east side of scotland

lanarkshire lad Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 no really i was 5th open 2006 from lessay.well it could be a two off lol ;) Get real mate and join the real national the snfc
Guest redwhiteblue Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Get real mate and join the real national the snfc only £12 SHU £25 snfc
hotrod Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 get real / dont make me laugh :) ypres too short? that would be a 300 mile jump for the lanarkshire fed ,by the way who,s your convoyer for this year?
alec guinness Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 no really i was 5th open 2006 from lessay.well it could be a two off lol ;) dont think bart was saying you were a one off,only one gold cup snfc winner in the west section in 30 years tells a story,i think in the snrpc with the smaller convoys you have a better chance of a top position.
ALF Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 I think now with more west section feds starting to duplicate into the national we could see the birdage go up a good bit in the SNFC races and more pigeons will be timed into the west as a result..( Look at it this way i only joined the SNFC last season and went to 1 race the gold cup sending 2 pigeons and this coming season i am thinking of sending anything up to 30 in all the old bird races so thats 28 pigeons of a gain from just 1 member so a lot of extra birds could be had this year from our fed alone! )

ALF Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 I think thats a bit premature as you dont know what the new season holds for you. keep the high balls low Not that premature as i have a bit of confidence in my doos ;D ;D
lanarkshire lad Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Not that premature as i have a bit of confidence in my doos ;D ;D What? Are your doos too fast for the peregrines
ALF Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 What? Are your doos too fast for the peregrines We'll have to wait and find that 1 out but i think i'll be able to send quite a few to the SNFC races let's just say that much especially as 3 of them are fed races...

lanarkshire lad Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 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. Why dont lanarkshire fed consider going to alencon with the snfc for their fed race it would give some lanarkshire fanciers a chance to compete in scotlands no1 race the snfc gold cup who dont normally go to this race due to not having enough top pigeons to compete in the two channel races.

I would go for that in a minute as i think it would lift the birdage big time in the race and i know a few people in my own club would vote for it aswell!!
ALF Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Bring it up at the race programme meeting of our fed next year and i'll 2nd ye 8) 8)
dava Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 i think ypres and falaise in the lanarkshire fed program would be a great idea
ALF Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Too late for this year Davy as our race programme has already been decided mate But who knows what the future holds???
lanarkshire lad Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 i think ypres and falaise in the lanarkshire fed program would be a great idea Bad idea too many races and not enough pigeons i think its time that the small time fancier who doesnt keep many pigeons should be considered after a few bad races you might be struggling yourself dava its ok for gareth rankin who race a large team to support this idea
greenlands Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Off subject a bit got Derwent Valley /Cumbria provisional race prog.There's a combine meeting 26th. Jan to confirm. also three inland races Marlborough and Portsmouth/fareham x2 6th. June. Lessay 1. 13th. June. Lessay 2. 27th. June. Fourgeres. 4th.July. Messac. Lindsay.
me Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 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. you what?????????????????????????????????????????????/

ARE you saying its easier in the snrpc with the smaller convoys?
ALF Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 At 590 mls is any race easy? I for 1 think not!!!
lanarkshire lad Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 duplication not available at alencon says who ?
alec guinness Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 ARE you saying its easier in the snrpc with the smaller convoys? no not at all,i think smaller convoys over the years have provided the west section with national winners ie jock cosgrove & ian mcgee come to mind,this year 2 wins in the snrpc in the west at the distance with small convoys.certainly in my area there are now fanciers racing and winning with the snrpc that had previously never competed at national level,which is good.
