Chris Little Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 Sent 4, approx 180 from South Section, will be lucky if there is 1100 in total convoy, quite pathetic really. Far too many races in the SNFC, in particular these stupid inland nationals, what value do they serve other than potential money earners.
robbiedoo. Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 Andy,My Guess 1000. Was La Ferte Bernard not further??alencon is further aswell reims 635 to me and alencon 645 not sure what my la farte bernard distance

Guest bigda Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 So what do you think will be the Final birdage and lets not forget this must be the Furthest Flying racepoint we have used for the Gold Cup.
Guest stb- Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 I think you better check your distances Reims 20 miles further than Alenconaye reims further than alencon and le ferte the furthest
JADE Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 it looks as though there could be less than 1000 birds for the gold cup which is tragic. there needs to be a radical rethink by the snfc members and committee. i dont know the answer but i am beginning to think they will have to drop an inland race and i also think that ypres next week is taking birds away from the gold cup as some think it an easier race and the birds may go back to clermont. my suggestion would be Eastbourne (or Maidstone) following week Reims (or Alencon) two weeks then Clermont (or Falaise)two weeks then Bourges (or any 600 mile plus race they can get)
budgie Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 La Ferte Bernard was only ever flown once in 2004 and was won by W Kinnear & Son flying 557 miles vel:-1166 with 3168 birds So in 6 years we have dropped around 66% in birdage.
JADE Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 it depends where you live. peterhead do not get a good distance from reims etc because it is so far east. great for the west guys no excuses this weekend!!!
Blue Tooner Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 aye reims further than alencon and le ferte the furthest Reims 621 to me, Alencon 632 to me,, but Reims will be further to you than Alencon as Reims is further east,,, our overfly will be horrendous, infact Dundee is so close distance wise from Reims that I will hear clocky calling his arrivals in :lol:
robbiedoo. Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 I think you better check your distances Reims 20 miles further than Alencon just checked them reims 635mile 1298 yards and alencon 645 mile 1021 yards i think i shoud know my own distances

Far too many races in the SNFC, in particular these stupid inland nationals, what value do they serve other than potential money earners.Chris we need tae get back to :-Maidstone/Rennes/Nantes and Peterborough or race points equivalent.In 6 years we are down 66% what will the next 6 years bring.
