grdkeith Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 basketing is going ahead as normal, 22 birds per crate.please ensure the crates for the arniston race all carry the RED labels as supplied--first message 08.00 on Friday first message for Newark will be 07.00 on Saturday.Can all clubs that expect to have entries for the Ypres race that are not entering the SNFC please contact me by pm or phone before Friday the 26th June so we can arrange pick up times-- failure to do so may result in NO pick up !! two races for our fed in one weekend !! a first ever i think , certainly since i started racing 36 years ago.

harry h Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Arniston not a fed Race ?? It's on the fed program as a come back Race, it's on here as a race so I think it's a race,don't think it counts in the Averages though, but maybe somebody in authority could enlighten us.

john cumming Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 as I read it harry, the come back race (ARNISTON) it states on our sheet of paper with pick up times ect that it does not count as in the fed averages, we in buckie have made it purely a club race amongst ourselves john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordon wilson Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 The Arniston point was more or less classed as a toss by the deveron valley members and not a fed race quite a few of our members held back birds and never sent as the foercast was not the best so why do we need a result ???

grdkeith Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 think if you check your race programme you will find that the members voted for 3 comeback races that were not to be in the fed averages, they did not vote for training tosses, if clubs or members decided that they were not participating in a race then as always it was at their own discretion, as fed officials it is our duty to follow the members wishes as voted at the AGM.
