bigjamie Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 is it just them thats on the panel mate
Kyleakin Lofts Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 is it just them thats on the panel mate Who else do you want? It is usually just a three person panel and the Coopers are coming from the south of England. Two top international fliers and a top Scottish National flier seems a great panel to me.
moscow master Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Am sure it'll be a good night Andy Ayrshire had one a couple of weeks back and only one north road member turn up pretty poor as your last quiz the Ayrshire boys supported it well but that's the way it goes Who else do you want?

Cracking panel Andy but why distance guys for a sprint fed ??

The information that I have been given was that out and out sprint pigeons wouldn't complete the course we race as advised by NRCC stalwarts. Whether that was because they race our course as distance races or because of the terrain, I do not know. I personally use these races as trainers for myself and now continue so to do as trainers for my untrained and unraced yearlings and latebreds. I have started racing with my south club also. I think from a commercial point of view, if only sprint panellists were invited, primarily only north road fanciers would attend, so distance panellists have a greater draw, thus improving the possible financial benefits for the Federation. Regarding attendance at Ayrshire's night, I am afraid I am unable to answer that one. I did notice on Ayrshire website / FB site that some criticism of the venue being too far north and requests for rotation. Apparently the south members didn't turn out as well as was expected. ANRF is primarily south Ayrshire based, so this could be a possible answer. My only experience of these nights are the last Cumnock night attended primarily by Fed members, not many from the north of Ayrshire and the last ANRF night where there was probably an even split between ANRF members and visitors from Ayrshire, Glasgow and Lanarkshire.
andy Burgess Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 what an opportunity to see and ask questions from some great fanciers . hope the night is a success for you.
geordie1234 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 I'd imagine listening to people like these will gain the south road fed more membership.... I remember listening to Padfield etc Made my jaw drop some of they results

We attend many Ayrshire nights and travel from Renfrewshire so don't see how it's too far for the Ayrshire boys.Great panel.P.S. I was 17th Open SNFC Gold Cup with a Sprint Pigeon!!!

I was 17th Open SNFC Gold Cup with a Sprint Pigeon!!! Aye Robert, but you are interested enough to travel to these events. Perhaps the Ayrshire fanciers aren't. The ones from the south will be old Kyle and Ballochmyle Fed members, so perhaps also the transition to Ayrshire is not yet fully complete in their minds. They would have to speak for themselves on that matter. My comment was because I read these criticisms on their own website / FB page. Don't let that sprint pigeon know it is a sprint pigeon or it might not come back next time you send it over 250 miles.
