welsh north road news

[Guest]

ive recieved today 3 proposed race programmes for the 2008 season,they have included 2 routes for the south east and wait for it........1 for the north route!!.

they are thinking over going back to the original way they was...s/e and north route,i can see this causing probs again.

im surprised with all the messing about we,ve had this year a direct south route programme as well....paul

I call it silly season paul...lol....every year they want to change direction.....if avian flu comes to france again there will only one way to go,,north,,,,,lets hope we all go together...get the birdage in the thousands.....goodluck with the route,,hope you all stay together.....

Paul form the time I got involved in pigeon administration in South Wales (1971) till he time I left the valleys in 1989, there were only a handfull of fanciers that ever flew s / se. I was amazed when the valleys turned south?

People refer to the UNC being huge but the Welsh North Rd Fed and there many others in South Wales, was liberating 28,000 birds at its first yb race Ludlow 48 mile to me at the time!!

Paul can you or nayone else shed light on why they did?

hiya m8, i believe that many flyers were fed up of racing the north route and with many also flying direct south as well,they must have decided that s/east was an option and that flying s/east was similar to flying south...so that they could switch each week and their birds would almost be coming from same directions some races.

the new north road fed(welsh) is like a big club race these days(small birdage),we moved from that fed and joined the welsh north road.

there is 3 options,the 1st option on view is s/east, the 3rd option not on view is similar to wot we have now...why they havent placed in the comebacks is beyond me....paul.

[Pompey Mick]

Perhaps they are considering North Road comebacks to facillitate a possible switch North should the dreaded Avian Flu scuttle Channel racing, a move I would like to see my Fed make. I've no fear of switching birds N-S and vice versa. It could be a sensible precautionn to make.

hi mick m8,i cant see them flying north one week and s/east the next,they are thinking of having both routes like they had when they started flying s/east for the 1st year or two,flying north suites me fine as the main road they come down would be less then a mile from me,something  we dont have living here on the south east,we are furthest north in the fed  around 5 mls further then the closet club on the other side of the mountain......paul

Pleased to see a return to 5 over the water(just hope the national follows suit)

Your Fed has moved in the right direction and declared its intention and not sat on the fence waiting for the combine to tell them what they will be flying.

 

[thunderboult]

what will happen if they decide on a programme and the combine are not going to the same places will they go on their own

i think theres a lot of talk of saying goodbye to the combine,the welsh north road is growing and im sure they will eventually say where they go and wont be told by anyone else....paul
