SNFC Resolutions Races 2008

[budgie]

Further to receiving the SNFC  minutes and the proposals for the race programme where on earth are we in the West/North going to find pigeons and the numbers  required to compete in Two Indland Nationals , Four Channel Races and not forgeting the Fed Channel Race.Its time we were going back to just having Two Nationals( ie Rennes and Nantes) for increased birdage and a gamble and leave the other races to the Federations. Give the Federations some much needed revenue as without them there will be no National.

[Taylorsloft]

as you say its a proposal the members will decide

 

[Fair Play]

Good idea Aberdeen should also help to make it a bit cheaper if the transporters are full and the birds a better chance to make it home  with the greater numbers. There used to be three Nat. races Avranches (Falaise) Rennes & Nantes plus Fed & or Combine races

It will not be made compulsory to fly in them all, you just fly in whatever one's you want to.

There used to be 4 + the fed race and no silly wee inland so called nationals.

 

They were the days!

fed's should stick with inland and the national club should be across the water

correct Bart lad think you're getting the hang of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

[frank-123]

after your words of wisdom last night i listened

[Taylorsloft]

your not getting the point . so u would go to maidstone with your fed .instead of the s n f c .if i went with my fed be lucky if there was 250 birds

[frank-123]

what did aberdeen always go with the snfc or did you tie up with another fed

 

east feds could go together  west feds could go together

two combines or maybe all go together scottish fed's combine

so your 250 birds would join dundee then fife then the lothians and border's all going together to maidstone

[wullie semple]

there was never a problem when there was 2 sartillys rennes and nantes this is what the distance men want 500ml racing all the best 2008

[THE FIFER]

this is certainly the modern way to go, there are to many organisations going down to race points with half emty transporters, and with the price of fuel etc this is very costly, not only that it would be a lot better for the birds getting up with other libs on the same line than lots of small libs,

[frank-123]

correct wullie

if the feds could get there act together and stop sending across the water maybe the snfc would stop the inland nationals

 

it cost our fed a fortune to go accross to france

[budgie]

Wullie i agree with you but with the shortage of gid doos would it no make sense for the Lanarkshire Fed to Duplicate in one off the Sartillys it would help the National for Birdage and it would certainaly help the doo man. One set doos competing for two races and not forgeting the expense in training.

Happy New Year.

 

 

[wullie semple]

yes budgie your correct but try telling the fed that you get shoot down

[Taylorsloft]

the way things are going we will soon be all racing together.  the whole of scotland should be racing together at the likes of maidstone. now that would be  something worth wining

The problem with that is people like to get a fly from the coast from their yearlings and the inland national is already a problem as its too early in the season. Plus if someone from the west of the country was brave enough, or should that be daft enough, to allow promising yearlings to be liberated from Maidstone with a large convoy of birds travelling up the east coast tramlines he would almost certainly get what he deserves!

[Taylorsloft]

you send your birds and take your chance .i send to almost every s n f c race what chance have i got of winning the s n f c .but i still compete.and have had some good open results from across the water .

Thats great pleased to hear it but racing yearlings into the west of the country can be a dfficult past time. Good luck in the "proper" nationals from france this year Taylorsloft.

 

[budgie]

If the proposal does go through we all know its not "  Compulsory  " to compete in all races ,but most like to win averages be it Club,Fed or the Icing on the Cake would be the SNFC. To compete in this programme the yearlings could hopefully compete in the Inland Nationals but for the Channel Races you are going to need a good team off around twenty 2 yearolds and upwards of which some would have to be doubled up to have any chance to compete for your Section Averages within this Great Club.Time will tell and good luck to everone who has the bottle and more importantly the numbers to compete. :)

[wullie semple]

BUDGIE I DONT THINK THINK YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE TWENTY IN THE PAST I HAVE SENT ONE AND BEEN WELL IN

was the reverend not the one who had a vision a number of years ago in trying to organise something like this and majority of feds were against it ,maybe wrong but me thinks it was on these lines   how times change

..... words of wisdom have to agree........

 

 

[Taylorsloft]

the frist inland from frome was won in the west sec i think it was a south wind.i no what it must be like to fly into the west against the wind . but some day your ship might come in
