robbiedoo. Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 Central marking wouldn't bother me but I think it would result in a drop in entries . I would suggest only races over 500 miles count towards gold & silver awards. Change marking times so they only have two nights in basket for Channel races Got to agree that the silver and gold awards should only be for doos that have scored in races of 500 mile plus . I feel that it is making a mockery out of the system for talking sake getting a silver or gold award for timing in from Ypres 3 or 5 times as we all know Ypres is not a long distance race it's more like a middle distance for most it's the easy option .

moscow master Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 Central marking would kill national flying for me am struggling ti get to the station at killie anD its only ten mins away long live the killie station as for dropping the inlands check the birdage for them compared to the chanel races and it tells its own story theirs plenty like the inlands when you consider the farcical 500 ml races in recent times who can blame folk as for sections a couldn't care less what one am in as the aim is to win the open and no the booby prise omo
moscow master Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 Way the loot the snfc got they should be picking ma doos up at the door lol
yeboah Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 Central marking would kill national flying for me am struggling ti get to the station at killie anD its only ten mins away long live the killie station as for dropping the inlands check the birdage for them compared to the chanel races and it tells its own story theirs plenty like the inlands when you consider the farcical 500 ml races in recent times who can blame folk as for sections a couldn't care less what one am in as the aim is to win the open and no the booby prise omoVery true what you are stating Ricky ,Gold cup this year one day bird ,longest race one day bird ,previous longest race only single figures on open result ,Messac only a few dozen home in 3 days says it all ,For those who still think by dropping certain races will send the gold cup back to thousands as years ago in need of a wee reality check never never going to happen ,you only have to look at the English results only a very small fraction of convoy making it ,As for super returns doo games Knacked Mate .
WulDon Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 scrapping first inland national would help birdages for channel races...

How would it kill the races as its been successful before? Take the AGM up north to Dundee or Perth and I think you maybe would get more boys fae the north going to it .

Guest stb- Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 one, it was done before with great success.7 section winners in the top 10 open. The Solway and north boys pigeons were ferried in and the cost was subsidised by the SNFC.Does that mean they were marked in the north and south and then brought to the a central station for loading .
Guest bigda Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 Denny has been a member of Midland Fed for more than 40 years and the boundary was never changed to do so. Their was no back door entry and I take exception Gareth for attempting to denigrate noble members. What will you come away with next, perhaps George Harris had no right to win a national because he is in Denny club or perhaps a 1 mile radius of your loft should be the West Section. Forgive me for being negative but their are many in the West section who firmly believe Newbiggan should not be competing in the West section but no doubt friends don't count.you are spot on peter, the chocolate men are all right, as long as it is you that is standing at the fire no them.
Bobby4 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 Way the loot the snfc got they should be picking ma doos up at the door lolagree 100% spot on
Delboy Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Posted October 22, 2013 Does that mean they were marked in the north and south and then brought to the a central station for loading . No, they were all marked at central station
Guest stb- Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 No, they were all marked at central station
moscow master Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 Do you send to the 500 mile races Ricky? How would it kill the races as its been successful before?Av been to a few with no joy I just think most guys now wouldn't travel to central marking when it was at airdrie hardly anyone from through here went but now with a marking station close by there's been a big increase in folk sending and if we'd to travel mid week I think most would stop going again del due to work etc lol Robbie
Guest bigda Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 get it done at the agm you would like both nationals libed at the same time, from the same place and area, and that you all can duplicate into each others race.

Just out of interest how many denny lofts fly with the north west fed? When you sent with the snfc did you send from Bo'ness or Newhouse?
Guest IB Posted October 23, 2013 Report Posted October 23, 2013 Just out of interest how many denny lofts fly with the north west fed? When you sent with the snfc did you send from Bo'ness or Newhouse? There aren't any Denny lofts in the NW Fed. It's a lot easier to get to Bo'ness than Newhouse for marking. Some Fife fanciers also use Bo'ness because it's easier for them to get to than Kirkcaldy. That's why we have a number of marking stations, to make it easier for members to send their birds. Fewer will cause them difficulties, or to not send at all.

When you sent with the snfc did you send from Bo'ness or Newhouse?Frank denny club was always in midland fed but but im sure they opend the boundry to the east which then allowed previous nor west fed members to jump into west sect by joining midland fed , camelon and falkirk were always previously sect D
peter pandy Posted October 23, 2013 Report Posted October 23, 2013 Just out of interest how many denny lofts fly with the north west fed? When you sent with the snfc did you send from Bo'ness or Newhouse? NONE to your first question and Newhouse greenhouse to your second.

JohnQuinn Posted October 23, 2013 Report Posted October 23, 2013 I am of the opinion that your postcode should determine which area you are, or can be affiliated to. I really don't have an opinion on which one's should be "clubbed" together to make up the sections or regions in SNFC racing.For me the most important thing is where we race from, not which section we fly in. If we race from the race points that gives everyone an opportunity to be high up on the result then it wouldn't matter to me whether i was racing against West Lothian or North West members for section prizes, as we would all have the same chance (relatively speaking) of winning our Sec/Reg and getting an Open position worthy of our's and our birds efforts on the day. JMO.

gulkie Posted October 23, 2013 Report Posted October 23, 2013 2004 I think, it was Gibson that caused this rule to be brought in.For what reason do you think central marking will benefit the national and it's Members .me personally I think we would loose members,also I agree we Should have more races from Belgium ,fairer to all members.OMO.

I would just join the other club to get a channel race to be honest
