lanarkshire falaise duplication race

[Guest bigda]

i don"t think the duplication in to the the falaise race was a help

or the national going with  us as there was no reduction in birdage,

also to cover all the pools that week involved 5 levels of pooling from national, club, fed, three bird, and social and the prize money for falaise to the winner was not much better,i feel all sponsor money should go to the winner and no section  winners

the reason for this is if alls  fair  with the time into distance that we are told, whats the  problem with   having one winner   :)

could the lanarkshire fed have had a 500ml race without being convoyed by the national?

Dont see why not as we've never had any problems before

[frank-123]

it might have been better bigda if you had a pooler 5 times the money

thought lanarkshire members done really well in the race seemed to keep the birds coming up the west not the big east drag everbody was scared off if if you remember it was a strong north west wind

i hope the duplication goes ahead next year and i get a timer

as for prize money don't think you can move the goalposts after the race

[rednyellow]

national usually has between 350-450 birds in the west section,i think 800 plus birds from the feds in the west,without duplication i think lanarkshire would have found it very hard to ask fanciers to split their team after such a hard season,myself personally i think it was a success with 27 west birds featuring in the first 100 open snfc result. :)

[Guest bigda]

i would cut out prize money, thats for the winner, the only money to win is from pooling birds if you want to  pool and that would be determined  from total collected at 25/1 so first come first served

basis no passengers after all, you all want to win don"t you  and should you win the race you will be able to  buy something with it

like beans on tic :)

Of course they could how many times has the SNFC taken the Lanarkshire fed across the water. Daft question really redyellow!

 

[Guest bigda]

would you not fly for  pools of  "£250 winner takes prize money £1,500+£ 250 pools  a  1,000 birds  at £10  pay out first 40 places at £250 per bird that can"t cost any more than  it dose now to pool in a race at least it would pay for a few bags of corn instead of  £10 and down to 50 places :D

not really that daft "me", i myself flew in the lanarkshire lille race year 2000 then 1400 birds now maybe 400 plus birds would have made the trip, no fed or national in scotland can sustain 500 mile racing individually without amalgamating, the last 4 weeks have shown us this, wee pickles of doos racing from france is not the answer,yes we can stick out our chests and carry on but the cost of all these jaunts from france will again be met by the scottish distance fancier,as in an earlier post 27 birds in the first 100 open national maybe we can get the west back at the top again

, heres hoping. ;)

if you think lanarkshire is like your selfs  your wrong mate lanarkshire is  the  champions league  there seem to be more deflections from your fed than ours in the last two years  as is your national at least  25 members that i can mention is there somthing wrong in your camp    ;D ;D ;D

we decide if its  going to  be a race for lanarkshire fed not for the national to  decide, if we can"t  afford it  we  should arrange a inland race to suit our fed,   distance flying,have there own clubs  for the distance, is it now the tail wagging the dog, i think this will need to be addressed at the next     lanarkshire agm  60% of lanarkshire prefer inland races anyway don't see the need to send  any further with this fed.  horses  for course's thats what i say ;D

bigda,dont understand what you mean, if you read my post i was not knocking lanarkshire fed just pointing out how amalgamation can work be it fed or national and im sure you dont disagree that 27 birds in the first 100 open prizes won by fanciers from the west of scotland is very much a step in the right direction!!! have a wee lie down in a dark room bigda,maybe it will all become clear,no feds no champions league no defections just amalgamation for distance racing. :) ;)

yes totally agree there,  there should be a club  for the distance, let the distance men stand on there own two feet but not at the expense of  the sprint flyer's and middle distance flyer's  when at agms  and  dictating to the sprint men,     course there is some who say distance flying is the  best  but that was the old way

our aim is to produce the fastest birds and achieve records too

as its  as hard to win a sprint race as a long distance race

first we have to contend with the amount of birds in the race but to set one up for it  is as hard on a consistent basis  and get as much out of it as distance flier's do but now the sprint and middle

distance fliers are not going to accept second  best  as there are other outlets  if you want distance races  the days of the  piggyback riding is over lanarkshire will become the place of the sprint and middle distance champions and are not prepared to let tail wag the dog much longer if you think yous are elites at the distance well go and make a name for your selfs in your own

and stop trying to duplicate at our expense to save yous from splitting your teams of birds if you cant afford it  you should en"t

be in it   :'(

I think joint convoying makes sense. Homer49 shows the financial case for it is sound. What our Fed discovered last year was when the National had an inland race that clashed with our own, our own race suffered, as the birds went to the National, and we showed a loss on the race account. So we went with SNFC to both their inland races this year.

 

And with fewer numbers going across the Channel from Scotland nowadays, there is no other way to keep costs for these race down.
