johno Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 has anyone any idea what is happening with the scottish race this year. information seems to be kept under lock and key. the web site appears to have been closed down and it looks as though the set up has been abandoned. does anyone know what is going on.

johno Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Posted January 3, 2007 is that 20000 total guaranteed all prizes. what is the guaranteed first prize.
johno Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Posted January 3, 2007 sorry just looked at the site. home page states expected first prize 10000 pounds. the terms and conditions page states expected fiorst prize 20000 pounds. why does this not surprise me
RoryTheRed Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 A gallon of malt and ownership of an isle off the tip of Scotland, sheep included
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 sorry just looked at the site. home page states expected first prize 10000 pounds. the terms and conditions page states expected fiorst prize 20000 pounds. why does this not surprise me LAST TWO YEARS THE FIRST PRIZE HAS BEEN £20,000 AND THEY EXPECT IT TO BE THE SAME AGAIN, KNOW THEY SAY DEPENDANT ON ENTRIES BUT THEY SAY THAT EVERY YEAR, WHICH WILL GIVE THEM AN ESCAPE CLAUSE SHOULD THERE BE A POOR ENTRY
Guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 JOHNO U GONNA COMPETE IN THE ONE LOFT RACE ARE U
johno Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Posted January 3, 2007 i will be competing in the rpra one loft race. the scottish set up has not impressed me over the last few years. no information no feed back, no publicity. the web site showing two different expected first prize amounts is a true reflection on the slapstick hap hazard approach that has been and would appear to continue to be taken. not for me I fear.

I am sure the scottish race will go ahead with or without an entry from you I will certainly be entering again this year and may I take this opportunity to wish all those who do enter all the best for the coming event and the season ahead.
johno Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Posted January 4, 2007 regardless of my past entries or future intentions i can only write what i feel. i have answered a question put to me if this in some way causes you to feel i am rather negative this is your choice.
dandydoo Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 Nobody seems very pleased about these races ..... Johno ur not pleased about the Scottish one ...some of the English fanciers not pleased at the RPRA and others moaning about the Europa and other non union organised. What makes me laugh is that you have scottish syndicates entering the english ones and some of the English lad's entering the scottish one ...i think it is "all a matter of taste as the man says that kissed the coos bum"
johno Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Posted January 4, 2007 i have just spent 30 minutes browsing the scottish one loft online site at scottishpigeontrust. there is no mention of the first prize paid in 2006. i believe this was only 10000 pounds and not what others have posted. nowhere on the site does the cost of entry appear. there is no information about last years race, prizes pools etc. it seems as if the organisers do not want to provide any publicity material. i do not recall any appropriate publicity in the fancy press last year. may i thank the peson who posted the website address. i would advise anyone who is thinking of entering to check it out for themseles. be informed then make your choice.
Guest WINGS 04 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 i know the fanciers that won the race last year they where 1st and 3rd there was only 45 birds at the last race and they got £10.000 for the win and £1000+ for the 3rd
johno Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Posted January 4, 2007 thanks for that information wings. so the reality is that 2006 first prize was only half what the organisers expected, i.e 10000. how is it possible to expect 2007 first prize to be 20000 when 2006 was only 10000. what information has been used to calculate expected 2007 first prize. i am of the opinion that 10000 would be the maximum expectation of any reasonably based calculation.
Guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 wings 04 , were they lanark boys? please reply! cheers andy 8)
Dougie Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 I will be sending to the race.Looking forward to doing so.
