Young Bird Racing

[tyson]

I think we need to have a long hard look at young bird raceing as in my opinion I think we should give the young birds 3 races at 50ml and 3 races at 90/100ml then 1 at 120/130 then that should be enough education for them It would maybe cut down on the losses do away with the younbird nat honest opinions please

I think that to do so would be petty,and deprive those that wish to send their young birds to races farther than you wish to send yours,if you are concerned as too your personal losses then don`t send your birds,it must be left up to individual fanciers to decide whether to send their birds or not......JBC/..

Federations like your own can not for the sake of a few birds yes if they are willing to pay the going rate about £3 per bird as these races are not supported in any fed and are a liability. To our costs

[ricky67]

Think you are on the right track peter but in my opinion we lose more youngbirds at 50 miles than we do at 90/100 miles,I myself started at 115 miles this year and got them all home in good time, Education starts at home NOT on a transporter where race controllers and convoyers is to blame.

i agree with your view,s . if you dont want to send them further than 130 miles , then stop them . no one forces you to take them to the club-house.

[naedoos]

Every time the birds race is adding to their education and will stand them in good stead for future years.

 

Stop pampering them, race the full programme plus Young Bird National and what you are left with have got to be the best you have.

 

Stop them, breed from them & you don't know their capabilities, maybe the problem with young bird racing is too many inferior birds??

Absolute sh ite, expletive remove we are turning into powder puff doomen as it is. You guys in the east should be sending to at least 2 x 250 mile yb races and us through here 2 x 220 milers. Test them, test them, test them

North of SCotland fed ,Arniston 2 6th race ,800 odd doos barely enough to cover costs So what you saying ,test them ,test them ,test them ,at whos cost mine ,what should be happening is the fowk that want to race full prog ie test them let them pay ,the whole problem is the fowk in charge have nae cahoonies

[Rooster J. Cogburn]

Think it's hard to get right, not so sure it's the distance of races that's causing the losses.

 

A lot of fanciers in Central Scotland have lost more birds from the 50-90 miles races this season than they have from 150-190-myself included.

 

Think some race controllers could do a lot better and making the first couple any age races would do no harm.

 

The rest is down to fanciers preparation, luck with the health of their birds and hawks??

Perhaps choice of race points could be added to the list as well?

When did we ever batter them do on the road before we went east the reason the "big jumps"are there is cos we can nae get into race points that were middle points I.e wittton castle and bishop Auckland to name a couple,nae body seems to remember that doon the west we had six races in the northwest fed Crawford,Crawford,locharbriggs,locharbriggs,Gretna,Penrith,Lancaster and leyland and Penrith wis 99mls tae me so there he go 6 young bird races under a hundred miles

if there were more combine/amalgamation races or even just more joint convoying this would help the situation.

 

Crazy the amount of empty transporters running up and down to the same area's at this time of the year.

 

Joint convoying, joint liberations got to help the education of young birds also.

We have had a six races with the solway fed.....have done this the last 3yrs....we are just at 101 miles. ....started with 36 now got 27....nae distance but good racing

[tyson]

The folk that do race the programme are the ones who pay,just how short do you think we should go ? Put in a proposal and see how much support you get,season ends quickly enough every year as it is,to be blaming those in charge is a delusional
