Good idea but who willing buy trophy and what age will be?  e.g from 9 to 21

[Webmaster]

If there is enough interest / enough entrants I would be very willing to get a trophy organised for the winner of such accolade. I think its a little down the line yet though

[THE FIFER]

I WOULD BE WILLING TO GET A TROPHY FOR THIS AS IT'S A GOOD IDEA.

[Guest]

from what Young- age?

[Guest]

We could maybe have a few, for different age groups, all just put in a fe quid to buy a few trophies etc.

[westy]

yeah sbelbin that would be good mabey age groups like

under 21s

under 50 and over 21

50+

[liverpool_boy]

iam up for winning that lol good luck all

[jimmy white]

SO AM I LIVERPOOL BOY, ;D ;D ;D

i was thinking more of a poll to decide the young fancier of the year , with all things considered, age, amount of birds,how long theve had them, size of loft, anything at all that might sway the forum, not neccessary the best results, i would be willing to go half with fifer, buying a trophy, and a forum certificate to all that entered , would cost very little , but would mean a lot to the young fancier

[Silverdale Lofts]

ill donate a prize for the young fancier of the year

[speedbird]

all sounds good

[westburylofts]

 

 Can i just say that please do not belive what others on this site say in response

 to this statement,

 

 i am only 14 years old, and cannot afford a loft so i use a orange box,

 i have two pigeons they went to every race this year, have done quite well with them  winning 20 x 1st  and 19x 2nds  from 10 race's

hope this might be good enough to win your comp for young fancier of the year.

 

This is true i would not lie to you all  ask me dad, Mr Bull

THE FIFER. ps i will get it on the forum when the exhibition will be running from and times etc, it is on for a few weeks, but this is on the 5th the Preview,

[AlanWilkins]

why not have it on that coefficient thing and people send there result in weekly

[Guest]

We have a programme for the computer which works results out on a co-efficient basis, we use this for the awards for the Help a Beginner Programme.

 

It would be very easy to work the results out for us, if the races were put in categories, say 100 150 200 and 250.

 

The results could be e-mailed to me on a weekly basis and I could publish the tally on say a fortnightly basis.

 

[andy]

I have a trophy here for young forum fancier of the year to donate. I think Hyacinth idea on co-efficient is a good idea also an age limit of under18 at the start of next season.

           ps:Just missed the entry age myself...........

[Guest]

I JUST MISSED IT TO ANDY :-/ MAKE IT UNDER 21 AND WE'L BE OK :D LOL

[Guest]

that would be a good idea for this forum!!!!!

[Guest]

Wondered if it was an international competition?

[Guest]

Why not Bruno, but there aren't many Junior flyers in the USA

[westburylofts]

 

COME ON LET'S TAKE THIS ON TO THE NEXT LEVEL,

 

HOW ABOUT HAVING DIFFERANT  GROUPS,

 

Young Fancier under 16s

Sprint loft

middle distance loft

Long Distance  loft

 

Just a few idears what do the rest of the members think ????.

I think Jimmys' posted reply no. 10 is about right. A few more things should be taken into account than a race co-efficient. Also, whilst we all try to encourage young people into any hobby/past-time we pursue, we should not forget those who are of a more 'mature' age. Support and encourage all ages, if they are new starters, is what I say.

As some of you may remember, earlier in the year, I set up a new starters scheme to help new fanciers. This was carried in the BHW and the R.P., with details of my contact phone, address, mobile, E-mail etc. and to be honest, whilst I had a few offers from fanciers willing to help in all manner of ways, I regret not one single new starter, regardless of age took up the offer.

I applaud the basic idea Jimmy...........and will be interested  to see how the 'Forum' takes it forward.
