NEVER to my knowledge, races have been Cancelled but never delayed. Great decision by the MEMBERS to buy our own transporters which allows us to do this, and a great call by wee Davy Young in his first year as Controller. Shows the wee man is on the ball.

[REDROCKET]

On the ball lol he will be hung up by his ball. S tomorrow if its not raining enroute lol.

Hi John

Fully support this decison but when members including myself tryed

to introduce a 24 hour delay at the AGM we were shouted down by

clubs claiming that they could not basket on a Saturday night

The late Andy Durning with no chance of a lib left the birds

in Andersons garage overnight and got his b**ls chewed at the

next AGM

Yes how times have changed

Cheers

Homer 49

PS Jim Hannah was in favor of a 24 hour delay as I seconed

twice on this motion

In fairness Alex the Fed's hands have been tied with contractual obligations to hauliers since we stopped using Anderson's trucks. However due to the new transporters we can now do what is best for the birds, that in itself is a huge benefit to all and i'm glad Davy has adopted the principal of self determination. atb for Sunday, John.

when i was young i used to hate holdovers but a wise old fancier changed my thinking on it .

 

He said a 2 or 3 day holdover is great education for birds especially yearlings to learn to live eat and drink in the baskets and is good prep for them going to the national races latter in life where they will be 3 days in basket most times or longer . I would say his thinking was sound :emoticon-0167-beer:

 

Ps this fancier was SNFC gold cup winner and only lived a few miles from me :emoticon-0167-beer:
