i have always beleived that the gold cup and the longest race should be a midday liberation.the boys in the south dont get it so easy when this occurs.i recon its a fairer way for all compeditors

Talking about sections of the nationals I remember Rab Hamilton of cambus winning the east section averages in the early 90s and he was flying further west than some members in the west section. An outstanding performance

Hes been looking fairly dangerous again the last two or three seasons....watch this space

Nothing wrong with Rennes mate, the Gold Cup race has lost it's value since they left this magical racepoint.

 

About time they were back there

 

Would i be correct in saying that the last time it got proposed in 2009, the main excuse was that the liberation site was at a premises which only had space for one liberation at a time, which would have meant that the SNFC vechicle would have to move into position to liberate the birds once another organisation had liberated, now seeing that no other orgainistion uses the site then can this excuse be used once more??

 

Yes Rennes is romantic but if someone is going to propose Rennes at the agm on Saturday then make sure you find out what the latest info is at the lib site.

 

Rennes, Reims or Liege - look forward to whichever is passed

Rennes site was stopped because of lack of amenities. For 30 odd years it was used and was reported to be a bad site These are not my words, these are the words of a past SNFC convoyer. We have not used Rennes since 1999.

Correct Derek but the new site does not have this problem as it was stated at the agm in 2009, possible over crowding of organisations was the new problem.

This is probably an excuse for the real reasons Gareth

Could there be any compromise?

 

The line of flight looks good frae Falasie/LeMans/Bourges and is a wee bit east of the traditional rennes/nantes.

Reims is bang in the middle of them and Liege but do fanciers think that three races frae diffo lines of flight is a good idead for variation?

These racepoints are currently used so should be nae probs that way!

I missed the top of scotland of the map as I ran oot o talent rather than oot else

[JohnQuinn]

JOHN QUINN YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO SAY ABOUT NOT GETTING THERE OWN WAY ARE YOU FOR REAL LOOK BACK SNFC RESULTS AND SEE WHOES BEEN KICKED IN THE BA$OCKS EVERY RACE UNLESS ITS A MID DAY LIBERATION you must have some imagination if you think this is being run for the good of the whole convoy ----- you would be the first to moan if you werent given a chance as the first drop in NATIONAL ALL BIRDS DONT GET CATERED FOR HAVE YOU READ THE SNFC OVERSEAS REPORT IF YOU HAVE AND YOU THINK ITS FOR THE GOOD OF ALL ( YOUR SOME SUBSTITUTE FOR A MAN

No disrespect to anyone in the north section as i have the utmost respect for the distance there birds have to fly ,but cannot get my head round the thought of liberating an entire convoy knowing that every pigeon would spend the first night out ,surely birds have to be liberated to give them a chance of homing on the shift or it then becomes a lottery jmho .

Stone cold since Saturday Rab, i jist don'rt like getting called out as if i was against his mid day libs or whatever other idea he has, if the MAJORITY vote for a mid-day lib you'll no hear me greetin about it. The only opinion i have on national racing is it should NOT be from France

i have a question to ask before i decide to join the national

has the national turned in to a fed, taking organization,

some say you have £80,000 in the bank maybe more maybe less

what the money is for, i don't know but reading between the lines the script is going to be about cost of fuel, and why you cant go to races of your choice, but only the choice of the select committee. surely cost will have nothing to do with it if you have £80,000 in the bank.

and i feel that cant. be an issue this year at a agm. unless that said money is earmarked for something that the member know nothing about, taking all other feds like the lanarkshire and others from east surely the profit from those feds, will pay the fuel cost of any race the national wants to go to, and with the national fees and having 500+ members and all birdage been payed for, and owning no hall club hut, transporter, and no baskets, where is the expenditure

that its going to prevent distance racing, so the agm should be straight forward enough to say we are going to Rennie's we have enough money to go anywhere we like, in the kitty

bigda as is using the ferry from Portsmouth to Rennie's or from

hull to Oslo no problem you have the money in the bank.
