Lanarkshire Race Proposal For Flying East

[bigjamie]

i think the fed should have a ballet with each club members of the lanarkshire fed signed ballet sheets returned to our fed sec for a count to see were we will be racing from east or west because all this stuff racing east then west just fcks the birds up get it sorted now for the sake of the birds aswell ive heard a lot of folk saying they wont go the west with there ybs get sheets out to clubs and the clubs delegates can be present for the count to see what members want and bloody stick to it

just turn up at agm jamie its that simple thot we had good young bird racing last year old birds has been poor down this route

[Delboy]

I will as I always do go with the majority to whatever ever programme that the fed decide but in my honest opinion I want my youngsters down the east...

 

For one reason only. ... the way the racing has been this season its inevitable we will be racing east next season anyway..

Everyone to their own opinion but look at last years yb season everybody raved about it with only the odd youngbirds going missing from the exact same race points not even a year ago but if you actually look at the returns overall this year it isn't that bad but have say some races have been a bit erratic and if people are honest about the whole thing they should cast their mind back to last years racing down the east which there was lots of birds going missing and not even turning up weeks later. The important thing in all this is the pigeons welfare

Last years race programme meeting was the first I huvnae voted east I decided not to vote and see how it goes down the west but to be honest from Middleton on we have lost a lot of birds I'm not sure if it is the west route or the race points we we are at but people who were always for the west route in our club are saying they wont send down the west with the fed again this season and I know a few people have been sending with south Lanarkshire because the racing has been that erratic lately

[bigjamie]

spot on tommybhoy it will have to get sorted out now there too much people not willing to send there ybs down the west these people pay there dues the same as us all they are talking about sending there ybs with south lanarkshire as trainers god have a look at the total birdage the past few weeks tells it all these birds are getting slaughtered down this rout and short birdage like that cant be good for our federations balance

I see where your coming from but Alan if you look at a map at the race points there more centre and the ones over 200 miles they ain't far away from race points used by South Lanarkshire

There is a small patch of the country that does make racing very risky in my opinion, bop numbers are on the increase everywhere making no racing point in the country totally safe but there is a concentration of them in this area around the peak district national park.

The Nottingham trent university are very proud of their peregrine nest. That map shows its proximity to Uttoxeter and is just north of Leicester. Any pigeons coming up from Warwick will also pass very close to that area. As well as that peregrine cam in Nottingham there is also a peregrine cam at the Sheffield University which is almost in line with our race points further north again. There is also another peregrine cam at derby cathedral between Uttoxeter and Nottingham. It would suggest the peak district national park is absolutely stuffed with peregrines.

''The Newton building at Nottingham Trent University has been the home for the last ten years to a breeding pair of peregrine falcons, who nest on a ledge outside near the top. The nest site has been successfully used to raise 17 chicks over the past six years. Watch live footage with us over the next few months as they lay eggs and rear their chicks. - See more at: http://www.peregrinecam.co.uk/#sthash.CHctCBmf.dpuf''

yip hills and bop in east jimmy but nt the same type of valleys thats in the west where our birds are being stopped and turned its a long time since you flew pigeons things have changed big time jimmy as i said we had gd young bird racing last year but poor old bird this year

[jonl6280]

Otterburn? = east

Uttoxeter/Warwick = centre

[geordie1234]

I'm not saying the east is better but we all know what way the fed will be voting next year so lets help the youngsters out and get them down the east so they are better for it when we go down the east next year

[hotrod]

Don't think people listen too well , it's not east V west of the country , it's east V west of the Pennines , the east race points aren't east of England like on the coast .

If I had the knowledge and know how I'd propose it myself. .. if anyone else does it id second it...

[peter2010]

Well see if everybody sung off the the same hymn sheet and done their bit we could have a trouble free route home for our birds fact is east west north south no different between them and if you look where lanarkshires race points are maybe we should try going truely west instead of Central but jmo
