hi looking for a bit of advice or someone who cant explain the pooling of the national

the question is can you pool in the section ABC and a in the region, and BC open

also can you post in the section b only with out pooling in the a pool first of the section

just asking bigda what is the rule in the Nat of the combinations of pools in the same area like East

If you pool abc in the section you can only pool abc in the region & open. You can only pool up to what you have pooled in the previous section of the pool sheet.

just as i thought, can you have a look at the pools for the natioanl 21st place and 25th place

just as i thought, can you have a look at the pools for the natioanl 21st place and 25th place

had a look cant see anything awry

[frank-123]

think it must be a misprint reckon they have missed the letter A from the bird in 21st position

[JADE]

you can pool b without pooling a. dont see anything wrong with 25th

[Guest bigda]

you can pool b without pooling a. dont see anything wrong with 25th

just asking, what is the rule on it then, your saying you can bet the £5 pool only in the section if you like

[Guest bigda]

frank if they missed out the A pool, why are there a difference with 45 th Nat positions money as against the 21st

[Rebus]

just asking, what is the rule on it then, your saying you can bet the £5 pool only in the section if you like

Yes.

[Guest bigda]

Yes.

so all the guys are wrong then there are no rules as to what way you pool no need to bother about way 10ps and 20 ps then just straight what ever you want pools

[Rebus]

Reims total birdage 1186 down 117 from last year.

[Jumbo]

i think it is that the a pools have all been won so only winning money for what is showing on the result

[budgie]

118 Prizes between 7 sections is it really worth all the bother and effort.

[Guest bigda]

When o When are members going to learn there are TOO many races and not enough pigeons.The race programme needs looking at.JMO

[JohnQuinn]

I wonder how the guys in the South and East sections, feel about the race program, and i wonder if they suffer the same amount of losses as the west sec boys.

Only curiosity no want to start an argument with anyone.

IT WOULD BE GOOD TO KNOW JOHN BUT I KNOW WHAT I'LL BE VOTING FOR AT OUR FED RACE PROGRAMME MEETING LATER IN THE YEAR MATE :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[JohnQuinn]

If i'm reading your mind right, think i'll be voting with you Alan

Rephrase what i said earlier TOO many channel races and not enough pigeons.The inland nationals look to be here to stay as they are well supported.What do you think?

[JohnQuinn]

I certainly don't think the SNFC are responsible for low birdage races, you ask anyone and i bet they've lost their birds before the nationals, aye there are obviously losses in national racing but i would think that club racing would account for the biggest majority of losses. All you read on here for example is about good doos going down in training or a 200mls race that meant nothing to them. JMO

This statement is absolutely correct.

The source of the problem lies with clubs and federations whose race programs are completely inflexible.

I know that there were many good proven pigeons lost in the first 3 races when we were racing before the ambient temperature had reached 10 degrees centigrage.

We should not even have been training in those conditions.

[Rebus]

118 Prizes between 7 sections is it really worth all the bother and effort.

Yes every bit of it,the only race worth the bother of keeping pigeons the rest are second division events.

Just came across this. If you take FIRST prize, you'll know its worth it.

The prestige is gained through beating every pigeon entered against yours, regardless of the numbers involved, i can hear some of you shouting fae here, but this is JMO

I would say yes, because its your best against everyone else's best. Quality not quantity. I only wish I had something in it.

Am just one in the south but heres exactly how I feel aboot the SNFC. The two inland nats are unessesary one would surfice and id probs gan fer Bovingdon or its like cause of what am gan tae say next.

The racin wae EAST[/i is hated doon here by just about all ive spoken tae. Befor you say its just the south no winnin and like tae say that good doos win frae anywhere but the further east you go the less pigeons you get frae the south. Losses are just the same as the losses I see you lanarkshire boys right aboot. I got 7 frae 12 at eastbourne. Stats tell us that the south struggles frae eastbourne. The race points need tae come more central JMO. We discussed last nite abbot the racin frae La ferte Bernard and the birdage sent so I think we need tae look at this for some kind of guidance. I know thiswont suit all but John did say in would be interestin. Maybe the next AGM could be held in Ecclefechan? Tounge firmly in cheek.

Thanks fur reedin this long drag of a post

Cheers Steven
