Guest Gareth Rankin Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 as yi stated gareth out agm is just round corner and we need to know now not later to get things rolling but the six million dollar qyestion is WHO IS GOING TO SEND OUT LETTERS AND ORGANISE IT The man the started the thread, isn't that right Baz
JADE Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 The rest of you should go ahead without Lanarkshire. You`ll get a lot less grief what yi mean by that then I mean what I said. The other feds would get less problems without Lanarkshire. One look at this site during the racing season tells you that

JADE Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 Certainly not jealous. Just telling it as I see it from the outside. Good luck next year to you too
b.massey Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 I think its a great idea for you's guys on west..... I would love to see the east feds give it a try also!! Unsure if it would happen tho??
Walter swanston Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 Wot would be the prog? cos we would need tae join in half way doon the road or start later??? I am only one member but think this is way forward???? Open races frae the coast wae decent birdage is wot ee need??? Nae gurning that the east scooped the prizes????????
Tony C Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 Down in Essex we started Amals a couple of years ago and in my opinion its the best thing thats happened in years. We get more birds in these Amals than we get in our Combine races! At the moment there's 6 feds that compete in these Amals and I'd be lying if I said it run smooth from day one, the problems were and still are resolved with a mindset that these races are the future................ were in a dying sport........... we've all got to pull in the same direction. Fed birdage has halved around these parts in the last 10 years and I'm afraid this trend is irreversible.
Walter swanston Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 I put out a newsletter to all our fed members recently Steven I was pressed for space but I had intended to ask the members at the Agm about the question of some co-operation with South Lanarkshire or Cumbria and I am quite happy to meet with anyone to improve racing in the Solway as lomg as i can take advisors with me to such a meeting and as long as I can be assured of the backing of the majority I know it might seem a bit airy fairy to you but I am convinced that larger organisations and amalgamations are the way forward.

My big prob is although we would be savin major cash wae a joint lib as Gareth says no bugger wants tae race against us as they see it as toooooooo easy!!!!!!!!!Hmmmmmm! No much of an Amal if we are sectioned off??????? I fear that will happen in SNFC only tooooo soon????? Rant over as they say but still very worriead????
geordie1234 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 Is this something that is just going to pass by and nothing get done about it? I would love to help but don't have the knowledge or experience if I can help in anyway let me know what I can do and I would be glad to help our sport
frank-123 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 sorry to say but it won't happen nice thought though

K J Young Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Graham - it needs to be all set up at this time of year. all of the fed committees meet and agree to put a race programme for next year to their membership. ie a proper meeting, everyone who should be there is there and concrete plans made. This season it was "i think we are going together, well...maybe if they still want to" it's not enough to guess what each other might do The problem is people just dismiss it out of hand and then when racing comes around complain there's too small a convoy or not enough prize money etc etcHi baz , You call the meeting and the ballochmyle fed top table will be there, but there needs to be a compromise , i.e transporters used , convoyers and most of all race proggramme. Cheers Kenny

Guest Gareth Rankin Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 WOSA Raceprogram Old BirdsI12th May - Thirsk 146 miles17th May - Selby 180 miles25th May - Newark 224 miles2nd June - Peterborough 265 miles7th/15th June - Maidstone 355 miles Young birds 18th August - Sedgefield 123 miles25th August - Thirsk 146 miles1st September - Doncaster 190 miles No doubt within a few years we will be going from shorter distances but perhaps the program above is a start. Obviously with Lanarkshire going back to the west route, how would the west of Scotland guys feel about the following race program for the WOSA:-? Old Birds 26th May - Stafford 213 miles,Joint convoying only 2nd June - Wolaston 238 miles Yearling open/duplication race9th June - Cheltenham 270 miles, Joint convoying only 16th June - TBA possibly Portsmouth 355 miles??, open/duplication race7th July - TBA possibly Carantan 458 miles, open/ duplications race Young birds 25th August - Leyland 146 miles, Joint convoying only.1st September - Stafford 213 miles Open/duplication race
K J Young Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 The first thing is sorting a race programme that suits everybody , with lanarkshire going the old west route , Ayrshire , Ballochmyle & West Strathclyde not decided yet , and the longest races clashing with the national races which have been a big sucsess for ayrshire members in the last couple of years. If there has to be a meeting we should have it before the AGM,S so we can report back to the members.
Whats it called Cumbernauld Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 Some good ideas above boys lets make it more. .All about give and take, and the way in which it is sold to the members.

If there has to be a meeting we should have it before the AGM,S so we can report back to the members.I don't disagree that all parties should decide what the race program is to be, but it has to start somewhere and no doubt the proper procedures would be carried out in the future to enable all to decide which program is best for WOSA. Don't believe that it is guaranteed that there will be 1 inland national never mind 2, this after the poor returns from these races over the last 4 years. JMO
