S.N.F.C.. MAIDSTONE

[maverick]

PENTLAND FEDERATION GOING TO MAIDSTONE WITH THE S.N.F.C

[maverick]

i would like all national races to be from over 500 miles but with the drop in birdage in all racing you need some way of getting money in to help with the costs of channel racing.

[maverick]

it looks like making up into a very good race

[Guest]

well done pentland fed its the only way forward will it save your fed money?

[frank-123]

how many feds are going now with the snfc anyone know????

[maverick]

IT WILL SAVE THE FED A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY LIKE MOST FEDS THE LONGER RACES COST A GREAT DEAL AND MOST IF NOT ALL FEDS LOSE OUT ON THESE RACES

[GREENGRASS]

anyone have a guess at what the birdage might be, i know some fanciers think the nationals should be convoyed and liberated seperately but i think it will be great to have a large convoy of birds all heading back to scotland. would like to be able to compare the velocities from all the feds competing to see how evens out.

[maverick]

i think all feds have until APRIL 1st to get back to S.N.F.C

the national may attract a lot more birds across the channel if returns are good from maidstone just lets hope so

[maverick]

I HOPE IT HELPS ENCOURAGE MORE MEMBERS TO JOIN

[Guest]

Shaping up to be quite a race. I'm really looking forward to this season.

solway fed going to newbury but not maidstone

Don't have the dates to hand, but remember thinking that there were now two 300+ mile 'set-up' races, Newbury 3 weeks before Gold Cup race, and Maidstone 3 weeks before Tours or Falaise?

 

By set-up races I mean the 8-10 hours fly prior to the channel that I've been advised is a good way to prep your channel candidates.

 

So I think these kind of races go hand-in-hand with channel races, and if its successful who knows what 2008, will bring? SNFC convoying Federation 500 mile races?

 

And as far as Federation racing is concerned, this is the first year that I have had a chance to fly two 300 mile races (330 and 370) with my Fed. Personally, I think it is a step forward for all.

i  was at a club meeting on wednesday and it looks like most guys are going with the snfc to maidstone

do you think the lanarkshire fed may have shot themselves in the foot not going with the snfc

before anyone jumps down my throat i know the delegates made the decision

[Guest Gareth Rankin]

Yes it is annoying that common sense has been thrown out the window, It has not done any good having 2 different races from Maidstone on the same day, but the birdage will be determined by how the federation races have faired upto these race.

But at the end of the day that's democracy. :) 8) 8)

it might have been a different story bart if there had not been so many rumours and allegations of deals being done with lanarkshire long before it had been discussed anywhere within our fed, legitimately anyway,no good ever came when you put the cart way in front of the horse

Or cut your nose off to spite your face?

NOT SO BRUNO,AS I SAID IF THE INTERFERING FOLK HAD KEPT  OUT OF SOMETHING THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM THEN MAYBE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN A FAIR CHANCE, BUT OUTSIDERS WERE TRYING HARD AS THEY COULD TO ARRANGE WHO LANARKSHIRE WERE GOING WITH, AND YOUR POST IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF COMMENTS ABOUT LANARKSHIRE THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU, IF YOU AND YOUR FED ARE GOING FINE THATS UP TO YOU BUT THERE WAS NOT ONE SINGLE DELEGATE REPRESENTING OVER 500 MEMBERS THAT ASKED FOR LANARKSHIRE TO GO WITH THE SNFC, EVERY SINGLE ONE AGREED TO A NO VOTE, AND AS YOU SEE THERE ARE OTHER FEDS TURNING DOWN THE SAME THING, ARE THEY CUTTING OFF THEIR NOSE AS WELL ?
