A crazy idea Davie to say the least mate but it's up to the guys from section E to get their a@ses to the meeting and make sure they vote for the sections to stay the same...

not just section e,dont think the few glasgow fed snfc members in places like clydebank, dumbarton & milton of campsie will be too keen,the proposer of this hopefully non starter never took geography at school. ;)

Your right Alf, but I think this was put on agenda to get bums in seats at AGM.I dont think this motion has a snowballs chance in hell of going through. By the way, did you notice that their wasnt a proposer and seconder for the M section proposal.

i think you are 100% right Delboy, designed to get bums on seats, but these seats will have to be filled, ive thought before that proposals have had no chance of being adopted, but ive been proved wrong. The guys from section D are sure to want it so the section E members will have to attend to stop this going through.Said it on my first post on this subject cant see a proposer and seconder on resolutions sheet.

I think Section M proposal may be Dr Lynch's thoughts on a new Centre Section. Was at a joint moot & meeting few years ago when various ideas were being put forward for an SNFC inland race programme because of bird flu restrictions, and he gave the basic idea of it then.

Dr Lynch felt there was a need for a Centre section between East & West, because some of the Eastern section western boundaries were further west than some of the Western section eastern boundaries. For example some reckoned Stirling (east section) lay further west than Hamilton (west section).

I would reckon it would be a new Centre Region too.

Please note these are my thoughts on how this has come about, and not any definitive statement.

i thought that today more than ever people are aware of the geographical advantages of loft location,the fanciers in the west section approach each national season with the hope of a top open position in snfc races with the thought of a national win very slim,there is also the chance of timing your pooler as this section has a good pooling tradition,why then would the fanciers of e and f want to include fanciers some 40 miles east of them,the regions or sections what ever way you slice it will never be perfect now is not the time for change,the national has far more pressing issues to attend to at the moment. :-/
