Guest IB Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 HiWe the membership who take the time to attend the AGMare the people that make the decisions and we votedNOT TO GO TO BUCKINGHAM but now we arethis is all wrong, heads should rolland lets start with the tree topCheersHomer 49 That is pure distortion of the facts. The vote was for 2 race programs, not race vs race, and certainly NOT about not going to any specific race point. Buckingham was proposed on 1 of those programs put to the AGM and was therefore a legitimate consideration when the chosen race point Billericay later became unavailable.

No one wants to go there for the 1st inland national. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I proposed the race program, because the only difference between the 2 proposed programmes was Billericay/Buckingham. I suggested to change my programme to Buckingham instead off Billericay. This was shot down in flames immediately I had said it by the members present at the meeting. John B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster J. Cogburn Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 To my mind the first inland national racepoint was the least significant when viewing the race programmes up for discussion at the AGM. Had the committee's suggested programme incorporated Alencon and Clermont as Friday races, it was the best 7 race programme I'd seen for the club. The main advantage being Ypres was three weeks after Maidstone, a week before Clermont and on a different weekend from the longest race. Something I'd like the committee men on here to think about is proposing the exact same programme next year,with Alencon and Clermont scheduled for a Friday, and the first Inland racepoint as Peterborough. Peterborough would benefit the club no end in my opinion. Without looking particularly hard I know of at least three federations that will be there the same day as Buckingham and many more at a similar distance. In theory it would maximise entries and the returns from this racepoint would far surpass those from the likes of Newbury or similar distance, which would in turn have a knock on effect in the following races. I've spoken to a number of people who believe the first inland national to be too far for Scottish pigeon racing in the present day.I've said as long as I've been a member on this forum the race should be removed from the calendar, but I accept it's obviously here to stay and in monetary terms I think Peterborough makes sense and could go a long way to keeping costs down for the SNFC as well Scottish federations.

peter pandy Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I have on many occasions posted that all inland races should be Federation or Combine run.. NOT National races for the benefit of sprint or middle distance fanciers. I will maintain that the change of the SNFC Constitution was and has been a disaster since its inaugeration.

JohnQuinn Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Some might find my response a bit strange considering i have little or no interest in the Inland Nationals and wouldn't miss them one bit if they were thrown out, BUT!! a National club should appeal to, and cater for, everyone in the country including the sprint/mid distance fanciers. We (distance minded fanciers) have 4 channel races to send to, and no one holds a gun to our heads to enter these shorter races, however i think that there should be separate Averages to compete for within the club that would identify the best fanciers at the different distances raced at by the members. Maybe one set of averages for the 2 Inlands plus Ypres, and another set for the other 3 longer channel races plus Ypres. I think Ypres should count in both as it is on the long side of Mid distance into the central belt, but it is very much a long distance race for fanciers farther North, and it is still a Channel race for everyone regardless of distance. That way there is something for everyone to race for. JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
