Midlothian Fed Gold Ring Race

[1967]

In the interest of the Federation's economics and continuing good health, here is an old chestnut of an idea. How about joint convoying? from let's say 150 miles to begin with as a test.

 

Of course that would be the sensible and most economical thing to do and would be of greatest benefit to the pigeons.

 

Who would we joint convoy with? Pentland Fed, East of Scotland and Scottish Borders - if they would have us.

 

Wouldn't it be great to have thousands of pigeons beating up the road from 200+ miles and breaking at the borders to the whole of South East Scotland.

 

I thought that the old "chip on the shoulder" would probably get in the way of this starter paper so I did a little research and produced a few FACTS, things that you rarely see in these emotional debates..

 

Pentland Fed were issued with approximately 8000 YB rings in 2012 and had approx 60 P pigeons on the YB National result.

Midlothian Fed were issued with approx 4000 YB rings in 2012 and had 3 ML pigeons on the YB National result.

 

What's so sacred about our Midlothian race programme, controlling and convoying??

 

Comments are welcome from all people who are willing to share THEIR open and honest opinion.

Sorry guys I should not have put my recent post about joint convoying on this thread as it may well cloud the gold ring topic. I've started a new post under it's own heading.

you can PM Admin and ask for its removal Tom .
