How Many Fanciers In Uk ?

[Kyleakin Lofts]

Linda and Anne at SHU office are wonderfull ladies a pleasure to speak to keen to help a great front face for the pigeon society,

 

Well said.

So with SHU we have at best 2297 members. Now what about the rest of the members in Scotland ? Then members of RPRA ? Like I said I am trying to establish how many fellow racing fanciers we have out there based on known numbers. This seems critical to me to establish exactly what state our sport is in and monitoring any decline or (hopefully) increase in flying members.

The number quoted for Belgium was around 18,000, so is uk doing better or worse ?

Let's see if we can make this easier.

 

Which organisation numbers do we need to add together to get a total number of lofts in the UK ?

 

Any suggestions ?

 

Phone the respective Union offices and ask....Simples ðŸ‘

If they all lose 40 birds each a year then it's over 1.6 million in a six month spell,scary

Please note there is two sides to this trailer,whith over 100 baskets on each side ,all with 25 birds.Tthe good news is, it was a fed, and not a club transporter.but it don't take a lot of sums to work it out we are up sh** creekeh sorry late 70's early 80's
