dont know that yet but guess it will be uddingston

[Guest Gareth Rankin]

Each club has to ask its members whether they want to come home or wait til Thursday where the weather looks favorable for a lib. And then get back to the fed with which way its club wants to vote.

 

They are in the best vehicle in Scotland and pigeons have been in the basket for 7-8 days and still came home in fantastic condition before.

It is on the way home race cancelled

[JohnQuinn]

The delegates voted to bring the birds home. The vote was 14 to bring home, 1 to sit until Thursday and 1 abstained so they are en route home just now. Ayrshire doos will be dropped off and the transporter will return our birds to the Central Marking stations where they left from.

gareth club delegates have been asked the question not the members and the concensus is that the birds will be brought back to uddingston club which is the ruling

Diaspointed, was all the club delegates at the race?? New it would come back to bite the Lanarkshire fed in the bum when they brought the race marking forward to wedensday instead of the planned Thursday basketing. Should have marked two hours earlier on the Thursday which would have left plenty of time to get the ferry. That extra day would have made all the difference, terrible decision by Lanarkshire fed. JMO

 

Every aspect of Lanarkshire fed is amaturish. From race results taking two weeks to the transporters to the pathetic cummunication.

No wonder there's more alcoholics in Lanarkshire than any other part of the UK.

 

Rant over

have to agree with you gareth

 

i don't know about all the delegates being at the race but were all of them contacted??? i know ours wasnt. we had no clue any of this was going on and have spent about a tenner on *expletive removed* libline looking for information (should of known better LOL). only found out when i came up the road and had a check on here that the birds were coming back.

 

the lack of communication realy needs sorting out. we live in the 21st century expletive remove. even my 78yo granda has a mobile so i don't see what the problem is ? or am i missing something

Well the race controller contacted me before 9 this morning to tell me what was happening and see what we wanted as a club so i told him i would have to speak to the president of our club and after discussing it with him we agreed that we wanted the doos back home so i phoned Jim Hannah back and told him our decision but he said at the time the majority of the delegates he had spoken to wanted the doos back home too

 

As for Gareths question about delegates having birds away well i did and was looking forward to a race but hey sh!t happens i will see how mine are and might have a crack at Clermont now

Come on now Gareth would you confine Paula Radcliff to a phone box and feed her inappropriate food for a week before the Marathon and expect her to give of her best?

Been in the baskets before for 8-9 days and the birds have flown back in great condition, I look forward to handling each pigeon at the club tonight as they come out of baskets.

I only look forward to handling my own.

After 8-9 days you are only judging the ones which made it home.

Well never know but perhaps the ones that would never make it home after 8-9 days in the basket are the same pigeons that wouldn't have made it home after 1 day in the basket

As you say we will never know.

You may be right or you may be wrong but on this occasion I will be happy to pick mine up.

I feel cheated not having a race but as time wore on this was the right decision for me.

[Guest Gareth Rankin]

Back half an hour ago from the club were the pigeons were brought back from Carantan, personally pulled out all 50 pigeons from the baskets and 45 of them were handling really good. Looking at them in the baskets before they were brought out, they showed great vibrancy, energy and full of life. Wrong decision to bring them back when a Thursday liberation would have provided a good flying day, even from Carantan were they were supposed to be liberated from.JMO

 

History on some of trophies now has a blank year which could have been avoidable.

Ayrshire pigeons will be at Crosshouse club from 8:30pm for collection.

So who has won the Lanarkshire Feds averages.?????????????????????????

[frank-123]

I think Walter Boswell in my club will be very close

[JohnQuinn]

So who has won the Lanarkshire Feds averages.?????????????????????????

 

It'll be a while yet before we know that. The clubs have to forward claims for all the Average trophies in the Fed and they won't get the claims in for weeks. I know there is a time limit on claims but canny mind how long it is

i can tell you that not all the delegates were contacted as no one contacted our club delegate or reserve delegate but well used to that now enough said
