Froog Posted September 18, 2016 Report Posted September 18, 2016 You were INVITED to join the LSC, applications were non existent. You were either considered good enough to join or you weren't. Look at the SNFC Section E winners from whatever era you choose and invariably the 1st Sec went to a LSC member.Invited? smacks of Elitism ? not what the pigeon fancy is about.
alec guinness Posted September 18, 2016 Report Posted September 18, 2016 I got a text earlier to say Martin and King got refused entry tae Martin and King were the Lanarkshire social circle gold cup winners in both 1982 and 1983 Alan and was great pals with Hugh Martin for years and never heard this although that's not to say this did not happen.

Cheers John just read the whole text they got blackmailed twice before they got in it says and they went onto win the gold cup the next 2 years after they got in
lanarkshire lad Posted September 18, 2016 Report Posted September 18, 2016 Someone I know was refused he had a knack of rubbing some people up the wrong way.
frank-123 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Posted September 18, 2016 Well there you go some people weren't allowed in the LSC. Now George why are you wanting to know the fed boundaries?

JohnQuinn Posted September 18, 2016 Report Posted September 18, 2016 Invited? smacks of Elitism ? not what the pigeon fancy is about. It wasn't about the pigeon fancy, it was about like minded men who were in the same circumstance on a Saturday, working and couldn't get to wait for birds. You were Invited into the club if you were in the same circumstance, that's what the fancy IS ABOUT. Friendship and respect. The numbers were limited at 60, line needed drawn somewhere, and when soneone Died a position was availale and some other like minded and same circumstance fancier was invited to fill the spot. In those days there were 100's of fanciers in that position but the club set its total at 60 and that has stayed in place ever since.If there was a full quota then applications were refused, if ye were a pain in the a*se trouble maker yer application was refused tae. Quite right anaw.
peter pandy Posted September 18, 2016 Report Posted September 18, 2016 I think it was 1966 when I was invited entry to the Social Circle by the Whitelaw's from Blackridge "West Lothian" and it comes to mind Hammy Sloan "North West", Sec of the S.H.U. and am sure the Smillie Bros "Fauldhouse" too were part of having me as a member and I only declined due to racing on a Wednesday. Absolutely nothing to do with religion or gender, Only like minded fanciers.
