Just wondered if anyone thought these sections are fairer than what the snfc have now

these area's would all be defined by council area

 

so what ever council empty's your bin that's what area you would fly in

 

 

north lanarkshire south lanarkshire AREA 1

 

midlothian edinburgh east lothian scottish borders AREA 2

 

west lothian falkirk clackmananshire stirlingshire AREA 3

 

east and west dumbartonshire inverclyde glasgow city east renfrewshire renfrewshire argyle& bute AREA 4

 

perth fife dundee angus AREA 5

 

aberdeenshire morayshire highlands AREA 6

 

dumfries and galloway south,east and north ayrshire AREA 7

Frank, the Council boundaries are no more scientifically thought out or fairer than existing SNFC Sections. Parts of the same street can be in different Council Areas. And the boundaries do change.

 

Post Code is also a laugh - it does 'exactly what it says on the envelope' a code that includes the delivery post office, and a numbered circle of zones with that post office at the centre.

 

Yes I think Sections must be mapped, but based on longitude and latitude. That never changes, and is the basis for club / fed boundaries just now.

council boundaries can change but like lanarkshire fed our boundary it was made in 1972 I thought the boundary commission would have thought up the scottish council area's. So guys who have been trained and who's job it is would need to put a lot more thought into it than a few doo men meeting at an agm

same street in two council area's maybe so but it is not across the road i would imagine a long street may divided

you boys must be having a laugh

look at the size of your sections compared with the north section

stonehaven upto wick/thurso also incorparating the outlying islands

shetland etc

prob the same size as all the other sections put together

 

how about just 3 sections

sec 1 everything south of the forth

sec 2 everything above the forth upto stonehaven

sec 3 everything north of stonehaven

not sure as to what that area covers frank

but would hazzard a guess at about 280/300 fanciers north of stonehaven

if there was a highland sec you may see some of the boys further north having a go

but remember these boys would be flying well over 400 miles for the ybn

at the moment they would be flying against boys over 100 miles south of them in section g and have virtually no chance of a ticket

my point is that some of the southern sec lads are complaining of being in the same sec as someone 5,10,15,20 miles N,S,E,or WEST of them

try being 50 to 100+ miles and in the same section

sections should be set on area covered not how many fanciers are in it

can't see it being a problem if highland area was on it's own and aberdeen and morayshire were as one section

I don't know the lie of the land in ayrshire or the north but it is about debate to see if it can be made fairer

If these sections were passed people would still complain.If it wasnae Denny and Camelon that were getting the criticism it would just be somehwere else-Greengairs,Coatbridge etc.

Regardless of Section boundary 90% of the folk in it will be in a worst position than somebody else-Just get on with :emoticon-0137-clapping:

 

Why do we no all just have our own Sections??yours can be called Frank's Section,mines can be Lewis'Section,Novos can be Derek's section and we would all win our Section every week :emoticon-0138-thinking:

 

As fer ma section instead of losing sleep about the boundary we'd be better trying to catch John McNeill :emoticon-0136-giggle:

To a degree I have to agree with you Lewis but there members who have skipped to a more favorable section because some federations have boundaries like a Dundee hooker.

I don't have a problem competing with anyone but all I am saying is fauldhouse is closer to me it should be in section e where falkirk and it's surrounding area should be in section d that's my opinion

It should not be where you fly but where you live that determines what section you are in
