I think the jump is no problem the pigeons will hopefully had a gd run up to that point..

 

Its not ideal jumping yearlings from 170 to a 300-330 mls national Geo, it would be much better giving them a 230-260 miler with a local fed first, then getting them into the second inland nat.imo. A lot of fanciers in your fed will stop their yearlings at Wetherby now that they haven't an option. omho. Ideally the best thing your members could do is get a race program proposal into the snfc without the first inland nat included.This would let ye go to Leicester or Peterborough to benefit yer yearlings.

Its not the distance really Tommy, its going with the national with yearlings that haven't had much experience. 300 miles with a fed is a lot easier than 300 miles with the National, especially when jumping from 160-170 mls.

Derek and Stuart,

What would you think of putting a race program proposal into the SNFC with Peterborough as the first inland race?

there was a map produced at this meeting showing confirmed breeding places of peregrines and a race program trying to avoid them which i thought was the route tae go. but hopefully we have good racing the way the members decided one thing is for sure the fed wont be losing money

in any races next year :animatedpigeons:

The thing is Tommy that map was confirmed breeding spots in 2011 nae good now t

 

Did Lanarkshire not have its own race last year at 300? Pretty sure it wasn't supported or was the the 370 race?

Although the map produced is 3 years out of date it still gave the most recent info available and more than any of the other proposals, if their were no inland Nats then it would have been a good programme for the fed to consider.

 

You are correct with regards going themselves last year too Upper Heyford ( 280mls ) and Bedhampton ( 360mls) on their own on June 8th and 21st, these races were poorly supported in Lanarkshire fed but you have to consider that the SNFC had races on the same day from Buckingham and Maidstone which would have taken many entries away from the fed, so I agree it makes perfect sense to go with the SNFC if in fact these races are on in 2015, however my own preference would be for the inland Nats to be dropped from the SNFC race programme completely and let the Feds race to the coast where the fed entries would be far better IMO, for me these inland Nats are killing federation open / duplication racing at 300 - 360 mls and the first inland Nat race especially I s having a detrimental effect on the entries for the gold cup at the end of June , again JMHO

If the first inland national is a wee bit tough, I think yous could struggle with your yearlings, with this "sprint" programme, also most didnt get very far as youngsters! I also think this is the reason why there is a lot of losses at the first national due to the fact there is a lot of inexperienced yearlings. Maybe yous should have given the west route at least another year as its straighter. Your back to teaching the birds to fly round corners...JMHO and good luck.

I put this up on here a few years back , but members felt that the races were gettin shorter . But it would get my vote ,although I don't bother with these national races .
