Snfc Proposals For 2014

[bullcock]

Brussels 484

Cologne 561

Thanks for this information, obviously we would need to look further for the longest race, but this is all food for thought going forward.

Frankfurt 656

Koblenz 608

We flew Liege and Les Mckay won it in Carnoustie.He told me he watched his pigeon coming in off the sea.The birds were up in a west by s.w wind and his bird mustve flown over 400 miles of water. We don't know what our pigeons are capable of until we test them.

You may be right Del, but we won't know until we try these race points, we need to think outside the box.

does everyone argree tho that the first inland nat shouldnt happen tho and how do you put a motion in

[Novice]

From what I can determine the main reason for poor returns from Inland Nationals is Duplication.

 

Many club and Federation fanciers send birds to these races which may be capable of taking Club and Federation positions when released from a similar distance in a convoy of pigeons which are all going in the same direction. However, when they are released in the company of birds whose home lofts are spread all over the country they need to think their way home. Many of these Duplicated birds are not capable of this task.

 

I appreciate that the SNFC depend on these races to swell the bank account, however, if these races were dropped from averages this would allow the Duplication exercise to continue while the true distance fancier could take a step back and target the races in which he was really interested.

You and a seconder must propose a full race programme and both be at agm when it comes up.Just proposal with dates and lib points and send to SNFC sec.
