Race From Stafford

[Chris Little]

As a member of the Solway Fed this is news to me

[Guest Gareth Rankin]

I really hope I haven't upset fanciers in the Solway by asking for joint convoying to Stafford. For the last 10 ++ years Lanarkshire fanciers have had to send their pigeons as trainers with different feds to get a pre race for the young bird national, last year I counted 6 differnt feds that were used, convoying along with the Solway will allow lanarkshire members to send together, this on a line of flight to which the Lanarkshire young birds this year have flown successfully on, at the same time a competitive race with pooling options.

 

Let's hope for kind weather and a successful race.

Would like to Walter and his fellow officials at assisting at this late notice.

Thank you for your comment Scott, sometimes decisions are requested of me which do not permit of a meeting on account of the time scale and the rapidly changing circumstances and I always think its better to do something than do nothing.I always take advice on these matters and my biggest mistake would appear to publicising it on a pigeon website,A mistake I will not make again it has brought me nothing but aggravation.

Hopefully the guys in the solway will understand the guys just want to race pigeons and they would be very grateful if they could get another race into there birds before the youngbird national. Sadly Lanarkshire officials only cater for a few member's.

Speaking for myself Gareth everyone more than welcome,Walter has been a fantastic ambassador for the solway fed and am sure he has not deserved the phone calls which he has received today,I for one wish i had not posted comment and instead spoke personally to those concerned with any views.

I don't have a problem whatsoever with joint convoying with Lanarkshire

 

I'm sure the Solway Fed went with Lanarkshire for a couple of races about 10 years ago, these were good races. Certainly something to work on for the future

 

However, it would have been more welcomed had the news not been broken first on the internet.....

Chris this is our last race in Lanarkshire this weekend so we needed to know so we could highlight it to the members there was another race. so time was in short supply.

Even today talking to Gareth nothing was 100% confirmed.

Tiger, you have put your finger on what is the real issue here.For about 5 years now I have tried to spread the word that the future of pigeon racing is in co-operation between federations.What is the point in transporters going down the road half empty?

Yip deffo. And as a solway member we put our trust in the leaders of the club so that we dinny have tae hear everybody at committee/member level where decisions are hard to come by???

Think that the representatives from the west coast feds should get there heads together before to long and put together a race programme whereby we could have perhaps a yearing derby from 300 mls without having to send them to the national as it is the only option at present would sure beat our dye in the mill racing and would provide a better result spread wise so common lads get it sorted .

Said something simlar on an other thread, Unfortunatly here in Ayrshire we cant even agree to go in one direction, we have Ayrshire fed and Ayrshire North road, about a 70/30 split in numbers, we also in Ayshire fed cannot agree in what direction we want to go for a full season, west route for the old birds then after a meeting east for the yb, so much as I would like to compete it looks like it would be down to the individual.

If these races were arranged anyone wishing to send birds should be more than welcome.
