celtic Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Do forum members have any idea if the usual christmas race in the pentland federation has any chance of going ahead this year.
Guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 I think it will need to be checked out through the Union, Celtic. DEFRA's last 'risk assessment' talked about pigeon racing being curtailed if there was an AI outbreak in the EU. Reason it wasn't mentioned was because they thought the racing season ended in October 2005. Obviously hadn't heard of 'mad reindeer and Merry Scotsmen' (or is that the other way round?). ;D So be prepared for a bit of bah humbug but hope for something in the Christmas stocking
andy Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 The latest news from DANDERHALL club secretary is THEIR christmas race IS GOING AHEAD. Just for the record its nothing to do with the PENTLAND FED...

celtic Posted November 15, 2005 Author Report Posted November 15, 2005 Thanks Andy, sorry i thought it was a Pentland Fed race. Whereabouts is the race from?
andy Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 THINK ITS MORPETH THIS YEAR. NO DOUBT WITH THE GOOD WEATHER TODAY THE TRAINING BASKETS WOULD BE OUT!!!!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL COMPETITORS...
frank-123 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Posted November 16, 2005 how can a race go ahead when the eu directive bans movement of pigeons have danderhall a licence from defra or planning to get one?
andy Posted November 16, 2005 Report Posted November 16, 2005 BART, WHY NOT CONTACT THE OFFICIALS OF DANDERHALL CLUB IF YOU HAVE AN INTEREST IN THEIR BUISNESS. IM SURE THEY WOULD ACCOMODATE YOU OR EVEN GIVE YOU AN ENTRY FORM IF YOUR IN THEIR STIPULATED RADIUS...........
THE FIFER Posted November 16, 2005 Report Posted November 16, 2005 as things are at the moment with DEFRA bans atc, there would be no pigeon racing allowed, as this would be mixing birds from different lofts etc, this is why shows are banned, hopefully the situation might change, as it can from day to day,
jimmy white Posted November 16, 2005 Report Posted November 16, 2005 leave it in the hands of the organisers, beleive me they know what there doing.
