You need 5 individual lofts to be recognised by the SHU as a club. When you get 5 names apply to your local south road Fed for entry, if accepted and i canny think why not then you will become members of the Fed and SHU. Then carry on racing, simples

STB, in the London area and some parts of Essex area it's getting smaller in smaller, take for example the LNRC Berwick race this year 1,960 birds represented, going back 12-13 years ago The LNRC Berwick was touching near enough 9,000. More even before that.

 

The biggest North Road event London and Essex based is the Essex and Kent Amal, but that isn't a weekly occurrence. There also seems to be no recognition of any of the winners unlike years gone by either.

 

I personally feel if a south road club opened locally with a 6 mile radius from Beckton North of the Thames, in 2-3 years there potentially could be a club of 25+ members something that isn't the norm around here.

shame and its a sign of the way pigeon racing is going . our big clubs with 60 and 70 lofts are a thing of the past 10 and 20 is more the norm now Ryan . I used to look at the north road stuff all the time but as you say there isnt the same prestige about it now either .

IMO what you are seeing is the steady decline of one type of racing - long distance, the birdages you quote 'then and now' are no different to here in Scotland.

 

I think the RPRA rule is 4 members to form a club. But do you think that is the best way to go?

 

Just look at today's liberation thread - it is unbelievable the number of 'national' organisations that are racing from over the Channel today from so many different race points with some birdages quoted (some not) no different to the around your own '1900'. IMO to make a decent convoy for a race that is worth winning, all of those organisations should be going to the same place in some sort of Amal Race. Then you'd get your 8-9,000 birds no bother.

 

How would you fancy entering a race of 100,000 birds flying to every part of Britain maybes with a Country prize of £25,000 for the winner in All-Scotland, All-England, All-Ireland and All-Wales? What would winning that do for long distance racing over the channel?
