welsh combine

[Guest neil]

Anyone have anything about Welsh Combine going to move the combine races i.e Maidstone,Ramsgate on to September and for what reason

[chichichi]

we have had a change to our race prog,,,,maidstone and ramsgate are a week apart with no short race between them,,,,then a short race after ramsgate and then lillers or ramsgate,,,so they are now the last four races,,,before they all had short ones after them.....

[Guest]

its got a point of sillyness with the feds changing their programmes this year...the welsh north road must be changing too as maidstone/ramsgate are combine races,

wonder wot other surprises they have in store?...paul

[Guest neil]

chichichi

what dates are these now

[Guest]

dates on my race programme....maidstone 17aug....swindon 24aug....ramsagate 31aug....newbury 7sept...lillers 14sept....newbury for next two weeks, so now they have changed this again?...paul

[chichichi]

we are at swindon,swin,newb,epsom,maidstone,ramsgate,short race,lillers...i think.....it might even change in the next few days...how can the combine change things,,,the feds are in control surely.......

[Guest waynemorris]

I Thought there was a meeting on tuesday to decide all this.  there will be big changes next year though when the WNR pull out of the National

[Guest]

anyone hear anything let me know please guys,pm if u like.

tossed 6 strays today..been here two days at most, 6 back on the loft ,tossed them 10mls.bet if i did that with my own id drop a few lol...paul

[Guest waynemorris]

i could do with the ring numbers of those strays have lost quite a few over the last 2 weeks lol

[Guest neil]

wayne

do you mean welsh n.r.f leaving the s.east combine next year?

wse national site saying meeting of combine on tues night with indication that racing may be put on by 2 weeks so the main races will all be bar a day in september---mine are on the darkness but this cant be fair on those who are on natural and are only holding 4 or 5 flights now.

[Guest]

i fly natural as do all members of my club...paul

[Guest waynemorris]

yep thats what u mean, its bound to have effect on the national though because if we are not in the combine then we will not be in the national or we will have to make another one

[deanbruton]

hi see after meeting last night the dates have changes again to:-

 

Maidstone SEPT 1ST

Ramsgate   SEPT 8TH

RAMSGATE (2) SEPT 22nd

[thunderboult]

i won't be sending to them as a lot of mine have only got 3/4 to go now

[Guest]

changes , changes, changes,   better for the lads up here as we would only be at 98 miles or so when the 1st Maidstone was planned (214 miles) but not so good for them not on the dark.

[Guest neil]

changes quoted the reason as fanciers not being able to train because of the weather,but what about those who have made the effort

i have booked my holidays for the 3rd and 4th week of september(time off work,kids out of school)and still will miss the last national.Is it any wonder that fanciers feel its not worth the bother of all the planning and then its all changed,yes mine are on the dark and were trained in time for the first race and will still be racing in september but its still stinks

P.S. a good guess that we wont be where we should be this weekend just like last year.

Frustrating-just got in from work and going to clean out ,i allways feel better once thats sorted

[chichichi]

neil buy ets and get one of the boys to take them down the club,,,,they can also take the clock down sat night,,,you must have someone feeding them so this could be the answer.....only if the club has it yet..lol....neil we are like you and our birds are ready for the first week every year,,,,the same people are always behind in the training every year....and the first to want it to be changed...........

[Tenny]

This date change also ruins plans for a number of breeder buyer races namely maidstone/ramsgate.   I have 12 breeder buyers at a cost of over £200 in total and I predict I may not even be able to send as the moult would be a problem.

[chichichi]

tenny same her,,,,only one in the breeder buyer and nearly £600 up for grabs,,,,moulting like mad already,,,he going if hes bald...lol....don'y think he will go....not worth the risk.....he out of the best and will be a cracking widower for next year....

[Guest neil]

chichichi

tenny can race mine if he doesnt send ,but still not the same as being there,the point is you set out your stall only for the combine to change it.
