Snfc Region Changes

[DJWa]

you are right Walter, the SNFC is for middle distance racing and the SNRPC, is for long distance racing

are you serious danny

walter and the guys at the far end of the north section

are flying over 700 miles in some of the snfc races

tours i think was 725 miles

 

i dont think that the snrpc have members flying as far as that

not in their own race program danny

they have been individual members going with an english orginisation

 

there was a bird recorded fling over 1000 miles into wick if i remember correctly

not sure of which orginisation it was sent through

Davy Walter would like a crack at a race from Oslo, but the one eyed jack owners would have a nose bleed, at the thought of such a race me i would love to see a race from east side then the west side of Ireland AS IT would be won in Coatbridge

most weeks and maybe even i might get one ready for it.

I have been watching this thread from the start and the mix of doo men drink and xmas THERE HAS BEEN SOME CRAP WROTE OAN HERE expletive remove ENJOY THE HOLS AND CALM DOON

Will try to be realistic and constructive here. The proposal for the regions will only affect "region" pools and averages as far as I can see. The "sections" would stay as they are so would not change the number of positions available on the result. Any way the proposal will obviously fail going by the negative comments on here.

The suggestion of breaking points would never work in a national race as there are too many ifs and buts to consider. If a breaking point of Eyemouth was used it would have a large part of section c and most of section g measured over water. How can that be fair when we all know the majority of birds would cut inland to the forth.

Pigeon racing is a dying sport and the majority of the fanciers who are left are in favour of inland nationals so my guess is they will stay. The sooner both nationals get together the better as otherwise they will both weaken each other as the membership continues to drop.

On a more serious note, no-one has mentioned the deficit of £16000. Based on last years figures the increase in subs and birdage will bring in approx £11000. The committee has to have a serious look at how to cut costs.

Finally dont see a problem with the meeting being in Stenhousemuir. According to google maps it is 18 miles from Airdrie. Why is it always in the west anyway. Thats surely not "fair". Dundee would suit me better. (maybe next year)

As much as there isn’t a lot of support for it on here I do believe it will go through. Mainly as a result of this season’s YB national it has a greater appeal to very many of the fanciers who would fall into the mid-East region.

 

If it does go through I would hate to see anything too drastic happen. I’d like to re-emphasise to those in the current West Region that had the motion been carried last year the Mid-West average winner would have Jock and Isabel Alston.

 

To me the greatest appeal is flying for open positions and here are some of the national open positions achieved between two of the current West Regions Modern greats, 1st,1st, 2nd,2nd,4th,4th,5th,5th,5th,6th,8th,9th,

 

Make of these figures what you want

Obviously you can manipulate figures to say whatever you want,But i can't think of any fancier in Section D flying at present with top 10 open positions to match the fanciers listed above.So going on these figures do the fanciers in Section E have anything to fear pooling in the same region as the ones in Section D?

 

Another interesting thing is if you look at the old birds results of the last two seasons and pick out where the Mid West region winner would be from.

 

You get Airdire,Plean x 2,Newbigging,Broxburn x 2, Chryston, Clackmannan, Stirling,Whitburn,Cambuslang and Ravenstruther.Again does that look very scary?

lol, come on Lewis, spin doctor :emoticon-0136-giggle:

[novo10]

Sect D winner in y/b national landed with my 2nd pigeon, which was 5 minutes after my first. It was timed 10 mins later in Broxburn probs abt 7-8 miles as the crow flies, so it wisnae in the leading batch, neither was my FIRST pigeon!

got to go with new changes

[Rooster J. Cogburn]

Said before on this thread I am not bothered either way,but would hate for it to go through and cause members from any area to leave the club or stop supporting the races.

[novo10]

here we sit on a bad bit of region d so a change for me

[novo10]

common sence

[hotrod]

I think we all know the section thing needs looking at ,there will always be fanciers unhappy . Doesn't really affect me but will be there voting against it as it doesn't seem fair ,big Gareth's way seems the best start .

[alec guinness]

here we sit on a bad bit of region d so a change for me

 

maybe so but how do you feel about the whole of the national?? unfortunately most fanciers will attend the meeting with only self interest on their mind. :(
