I don't want to buy into any agument here  ;D ;D ;D but  the people in charge of defra etc. Must be a bit thick in my view   :P . If they consider now, that by not allowing pigeons to cross the pond as we say to race. They are going to keep deceases out of England etc. "To me" They must live in "Noddy land" or on another planet, as they say, with that sort of thinking.

Enjoy.

I think Alfs quite right,there is no option it appears for many,and these circumstances can change overnight,lets hope they dont.

Best of luck to you Allan. I'm aiming for the 2 Inland Nationals, and Alencon and Ypres Channel races. It'll be my 1st SNFC Channel Race.

I've just looked at your poll again.  ;D

 

Do YOU mean YES - we'll get over the channel

 

or YES - defra will spoil the fun again.

 

 

I've voted for the 1st YES  ;D

I think he means yes we'll go over!

Whatever happens we've just got to enjoy the racing we get but the biggest problem is the French, they are the ones that don't want us there!

Much better chance by changing your route to Belgium and Germany where the fancy is stronger and have more clout when it comes to allowing racing.

There is something about France in VFTR in BHW. If I read it correctly, France is open to pigeon racing, the French Fancy have convinced their Government that there's little or no danger of spread by pigeons or pigeon racing. Think this has also been communicated to DEFRA , and waiting on a response from them?

 

Moves on Confederation and FCI fronts too, so at least promising?

Best of luck lads, its a great shame when you've set up for the distance and cant make full use of it. Never mind , you can always come to Lerwick.
