I for one would love to see the any union rule being adopted by the SNFC then there would probably only be one National club in Scotland.Having two clubs does not help anyone time to look to the future for the benefit of the sport.Remember a lot of fanciers fly in both so what difference would it really make. :emoticon-0138-thinking:

 

Why should we change to accomodate some who cant re-join the SHU? Remember the NFC doesnt have an any union rule so why should the SNFC? And there are more Unions in England for them to accomodate and they say they are the only National club open to the whole of GB but only if you join the RPRA.

[Whats it called Cumbernauld]

The problems we have with an amalgamation in the west are - the RPRA feds (Glasgow & South Lanarkshire ) will not be measured by the SHU, therefore would not qualify to compete in the races, also the Midland fed flies down the west route.

 

 

It would seem we are a good example.

 

Use to fly in the Midland fed (S.H.U)with Cumbernauld (Disbanded)

 

Took a 7 year break due to working away,on our return we find our Sport is well and truly broken.

 

 

Thus we joined Kilsyth Club (Glasgow) With RPRA.

 

Now we done well enough,so we fancied a crack at the Y/B National.

 

Joined SHU and joined SNFC

 

No mean feat and at a cost.Add to this problems with getting measurements it was a nightmare

 

 

 

Agree its time to join together not Divide.

 

Anyone want to state where and when, and I'll be there,This is one almighty mess

I dont care what the NFC rules are, it would benefit Scotland if the rule was introduced.Ireland have a any union rule so why can we not do the same to unite the divide in the Scottish fancy.

Who would transport the solway? Which combine would we be racin in? Great idea?

 

Sure we went with the mighty Lanarkshire a few years ago to a couple of races

I would let you go with Strathclyde Amal, transportation only though.

Ye how would that work early doors? I wudnae mind a go at a amal race wae the Lanarkshire????

[frank-123]

the thread is named joint convoying

vincent you don't need to join another fed or national to share transport

if south lanarkshire offered there transporter to other feds and the price and race programme was suitable i reckon it would be full every week

 

 

i reckon it is very simple

 

talk to each other

Cannae remember what years they were when we went with them, think Lanarkshire took us for our last 3 races on our programme when we first started going down the east

There is only a divide in Scotland because a minority wouldnt accept a majority vote. I would think that would be the last SNRPC young bird race. They had 18% of the SNFC entry and as far as I am aware 2 members made up nearly a quarter of the entry. Anyway off topic.

threds rarely stay on topic Frank.Unity is of a similar stance to the thred imo.

No they got the majority vote in their favour but did not get the 2/3rds majority.but as you say off topic. :emoticon-0136-giggle:

Vinny, imo there is only one national, all this sh ite has to stop sometime soon. Its a pity that all the great performances put up in the SNRPC over the last few years are never really thought of or regarded highly because they werent with the real national.Its an injustice on the pigeons because im sure most of them would have done well in the big national.What a waste

[eastcoaster]

joint convoying, it can`t happen, when you have all this bollocks about something that happened years ago splitting scottish national racing , even the political men who caused all the trouble (on both sides ) know it is the only way forward or to survive , but when we have clubs not letting members in, fed`s not letting clubs in, it`s plain madness, in the edinburgh area you have Midlothian ,Pentland< East of scotland all within 10 mls of each other but whats the chance of them transporting together Not a hope in hell East of Scotland are trasported by Pentland but not allowed in the fed , so we all know it makes sense but wont happen ,

 

Pigeon racing to me is my yb from the nat coming home today soaked, no tail and a hole in his neck in the worst 3 days weather i have seen in years when he seen me coming with food he started to coo at me ,that`s why i keep pigeons .

Big spoilsport :egyptian: Solway had very little ybs going at the end of the prog! Much like most. I suppose the biggest prob we have doon here is that we are never quite sure whether its east or west year to year???????????

Maybe Del, but some will also say that the performances of pigeons in the big National lack some credibility as some of the country's best fanciers are missing from the membership.Personally could not really give a toss about the politics of it,would just like to see the any union rule as for me its the only way forward but time will tell

[knoxjn]

a couple of years back at wetherby the almond valley liberated alonside the pentland and had a great race before we went i went over to the breakaway east of scotland motor and said get up with us the more the merrier his respose was we cant liberate with you we are in the rpra i pointed to his motor and said them in there dont know what you are talking about i think at that point it was the saddest thing i had heard and summed up modern day racing

Race programme decisions looming again Steven. I completely agree with you we must decide on a settled programme.It is surely not beyond the wit of the Solway Fed AGM to sort this out,the feeling seems to be that the idea of a second meeting in February was not an unqualified success and we should go back to deciding the race prgramme in November but to get back to the thread I would be keen to meet with the representatives of South Lanarkshire and/or Cumbria.

Your the man Walter, a popular decision is very hard doon here

Tell you what Steven, use explosives, hire every earthmover in the UK then flatten those bloody hills/mountains between Johnstone Bridge and Abington and then we will let you be competitive members of the Strathclyde Amal, this is of course if it were ever to get back of the ground.

[WulDon]

Dundee and Angus have always went together when there is room on one transporter, The problem with going with other feds is that to many want there own way,ie racepoints, controlling, ect.

 

 

aye, and up at 7.30

[yeboah]

Sure we went with the mighty Lanarkshire a few years ago to a couple of races

Would love to go with the Lanarkshire as long as it was west just like the good old days ,can picture 7000 doos racing hard over Moffat and mine dropping from the batch ,Fed Toppers ??

[novo10]

john ur 100% correct but the same guys in both nationals would still score p virtue etc
