I take 2 crates sometimes one at training so say 3x trainers 24 quid send a team of 40 to the race £20 £1 transporter £1.50 clock and basket and thats no pools and not the cost of feeding or the cost of driving a 6 mile round trip to my loft 3 sometime 4 times per day lol Add the nationals in aswell ££££££££££

Aberdeen Fed charge £130 per loft and ALL birds are included for all Fed races

 

It's brilliant Fed get all fees in at the start of year

 

If they include SNFC races in the averages they are included in you Fed fee

 

We don't charge for clock setting

 

We have plenty room if you want to move :emoticon-0136-giggle:

That's fantastic value Ian.

 

My club charge 50p a bird of which 34p(ish) goes to the Fed. The Fed charge by crates sent and not by birds sent. The Fed I fly in is by far the cheapest around.

I clearly stated our Fed Fees

 

Everyone has Club (£20)& SHU fees (£18)

 

I was against it at the onsett but have changed my mind it is the best thing that our Fed has done

 

Sec don't collect money every week and have to forward it to Fed Treasurer

 

Amount of flying members got nothing to doo with it

You're getting robbed by your club Tam. £10.50 a crate of 28 birds is only 37.5p per bird. :emoticon-0138-thinking:

I'd love Lanarkshire to say at the start of the year £130-£150 and that covers all racing instead off paying money oot every friday

[walterboswell59]

burnbank club is 60 pence a bird which also goes to prize money plus one pound for clock and basket material and one pound to fed deff not a cheap sport but what sport is

That's expensive Wattie but if you've only a few members then sometimes needs must m8.

 

Glasgow fed are like Aberdeen and pay a one off payment for the year.( I think training is included ?) brilliant idea imo.

[ghostrider]

£1 a bird in both clubs

think we have 14 or 15 flying members dell would not say we are a small club compaired to some but we have our own club hut to and the bills that go with it so birdage has to help pay the bills and 20 pound a week prize money which gets payed out at the dance so helps pay for your night nothing cheap now im afraid and some may not be able to afford 130 or 150 in one go

I thought £130 in one was going to be a problem to Walter but the first night my club called a meeting to pay our fees I was shocked as it must have been a record attendance I just sat in amazement so had to change my mind :emoticon-0138-thinking:

sure is Kev but fed wise for the guys who only want to fly a few birds and a few races its very dear for the big team flyers its very cheap could this be one reason why the membership has fallen greatly

That would save you a fortune Wattie if it was £130.

What are you trying to say Alan what Fed /Club / Union has not got falling membership

[BLACK W F]

just an observation Ian yes they all have lost members but is the high cost that your fed pays up front cost them members whats your thoughts

[maverick]

Pentland fed 30p a bird must be one of the cheapest in the country

[grdkeith]

north of scotland fed 35p for all races up to newark and then 50p or 60p for the longest , £25 fed fees

[PIGEON_MAN]

Paying up front as always been good for the big team fanciers,but for anyone with only a few birds or one that sends in only a few races it makes it very expensive.

But try tellin the DVLA / Insurance company / Driver we cannot pay full price as a lot of members are not sending

 

Hon / Fuel servicing / Mot / and all other costs do not get reduced because you are not sending the total bill for racing must be paid at the end of the day or you go bust

 

If I were to join a golfr club and only play 3/4 rounds a year do you think I will get cheaper fees?

 

I could go on and on
