will all fanciers that decide to go be competing to be on the one open result,and if so what is the shu,s stance on non member taking part in this race.

[johno]

the race will be flown under snfc therefore shu rules. where does that leave the people who are suspended by shu. the big four. how can a suspended member fly under shu rules. does not add up. how therefore can the race be open to all pigeon fanciers in Scotland?

Says here open to everybody, so where is the confusion ?

[johno]

what rules will it be flown under? if there is an objection and an appeal where will appeal be heard and by which organisation?

the confusion tammy seems to be in the statement made by the said person gutty hen which states it will be open to everybody in scotland ,now we no different if the rules with shu, there will be as johno said suspended members so what decision now , what are they going to come up with to get round that i wonder .very interesting  : : : : :

[Guest IB]

I think it typical that the sick minds in the sport can't see the big picture here - we as one of the many nations involved in WW1 have been invited by Ypres town mayor to commemorate the many young men who fell in the battle that gave rise to UK's annual poppy appeal, in one of the most peaceful ways imaginable - releasing pigeons, the bird that is the very sign of peace, in a UK pigeon race.

 

There are also other side issues like the publicity the event will generate, and the even greater publicity and possible public outcry and support for us if our friends at DEFRA decide that it can't go ahead...

 

So you should be talking here about pulling out all the stops to make this a success ...  not your usual crap of stopping this in case its a success.

well  said ib, lets all try and fly this race, the birds dont no about the politics

I know nothing about the race but would assume that if it is under SHU rules any suspended members would not be able to take part. All true fanciers should support the race if they can but as usual we have sad individuals who will try to drag pigeon politics into it. Rest assured we are sick to the back teeth of you. If you dont want to go to the race leave the rest of us in peace  

[Taylorsloft]

This is a race, not a mass dove release,and to be sucessfull certain rules will have to be put in place.If it is open to everyone well its open to everyone ,No political exceptions lets just have the race with no exclussions,thats unity.

[johno]

i dont think asking questions is sad. there was enough commotion last year intenally with the snfc to highlight just how far things can go. as to attempting to portray any one with a sick mind IB i think you are doing your usual underhand thing once again. you seem to only be able to operate this way. can you not remember back to last year when scott gibson had his mental health put under serious threat due to a dispute within the snfc. in order to avoid a similar situation arising in this case i ask again. in the event of a dispute whose rules are to be used?

[Taylorsloft]

well said johno

Theres a website called cwgc.org thats worth a look,go into the history section and there is the whole story on Ypres, and what happened there to our lads and the Belgium people during the war.

Please do this before bringing any other issues to the fore?

If ever there was a cause that deserves the whole of the country to be united, even if it is for the first and last time,this must surely be the one?

There's one thing I am sure of though is that Belgium being a pigeon nation will take damn good care of the birds!

PS.It would be nice to know your thoughts after looking at it,thank you.

[naedoos]

I think members should take the time to read posts properly before starting to snipe at each other. The original post say's nothing about the SHU rules and is inviting organisations from the UK, not just Scotland. It also states there will be more information in the future and given the size of this fantastic venture then they should be given this time to make decisions before all the stupid comments are made. :-/

Hi WD I sent you a Pm could you please reply.

 

I would ask all who are posting on this event to heed WD and give this some serious thought.

 

This is MORE than politics.

 

This could be a perfect opportunity for us to solve some problems.

 

Problems are made for us to solve. We must try and resolve this.

 

Please do not read into somthing that is not there advertise your support and let the organisors get on with it , then if it is not to your satisfaction complain.
