If I may, I wish to return to the members left in the Midland Federation who will perhaps rue the day they accepted a race programme which included the SNFC inland nationals which I am led to believe was introduced by the President Andrew Garvin who is also SNFC Secretary. No mention was made at the time that birdage would be £1.00 for Fed members participating, nor was it noticed that the Worcester and Stafford Open races were switched to accommodate the SNFC. A point worth noting was the fact that almost 300 Fed birds this year were sent boosting SNFC coffers by £300.00 with no income to the Midland Fed.

The next point I wish to inform Basic Members is. As we are all aware Lanarkshire Federation wished to help other Federations travelling the West Coast route with shared transportation and contacted our officials with a proposal for same !, One of the Midland Federation Officials who received the call informed Lanarkshire that their was no way the Midland birds would be transported by Lanarkshire..and to go forth and multiply. I do not know who received the call nor do I wish to know however if this is the way they wish to conduct themselves then perhaps they should relinquish office.

I thank all those who have sympathised re our plight and can assure them we will carry on one way or another. I HOPE.

If my memory serves me right was it not said on here the Midland President would not entertain the idea of joint transportation?

if Airdrie get allowed to go with us, should they not be in with newmains section in open races

also what will be done about the birdage should there be more birds than baskets,

wouldn't like to be the last club getting pick up, and no room for your clubs birds on the transporter.emoticon-0138-thinking.gif

Danny, that very point was given a fair airing at the AGM yesterday but I am not telling you what happened you should have been their to hear the discussion yourself, Airdrie are now members of Lanarkshire so make no mistake about that, I'm sure you will put the info up for the pilgrims once you've heard it from someone else.

it should have been discussed as to where they go and what section as it stands now we do not have control over all the midlands joining our fed as you will discover

all it will take is members applying to join the 3 clubs and we will not be able to take all there birds have you gave it a thought that there could be as many as 50 extra member join these 3 clubs in top of the ones allowed in just now as most clubs haven't had there agm as yet, and here is hopping it don't affect our club Coatbridge, when it comes to the amount of birds we can send, due to this over sight emoticon-0167-beer.gif

how can you discuss new membership joining one of the 3 clubs now that they know there fed is weakened as i type there might be might be other names asking to join clubs in Airdrie Glenmavis Clarkson can we stop them from now doing that like, before the season starts i am not botherd about how many join i am bothered about having enough

crates and transporters with out going to the likes of gordon geddis or such like to mooch transporters and if i had made the AGM i would have asked how much did we get for the scrapped 2 trailers as it had new tyres on them and only used 18 times

in the one year, never seemed to MISS a M.O.T. but as i was not there i am sure you where all on the ball.
