We are in i'll back it 100% but i also like the idea of having a few any age races instead of the comebacks at the tail end of the old bird season

Alf where is the proposal, any age .coming from this is a new fed getting talked about.with six races in 8 sections you wanting Lanarkshire to have races, with in races in the amalgamation

expletive remove Tam, you've entered the twilight zone

[Guest mambo]

What flys in the west gets eaten in the west, but if all in the east, the killing gets shared, and that is the difference in racing today.

Disappointed on this post Paul, your stats were interesting for all to see. expletive remove , a blind man can see what has happened but sometimes ye canny educate folk.

[moscow master]

How many Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire and Glasgow guys are on this site and only a few have gave their opinion on this thread.

Del a started a thread last week i.e. Combine racing not one comment lol I'm all for it but I'd been at the meetings in uddingston couple of seasons ago with delegates from the said Feds and to be honest they couldn't agree on jack shxt can't see it happening tbh too many politicians in this game one fed should take the bull by the horns and open up for anyone in the said Feds to compete in that'd be a good start then go from there here's hoping it takes off best of luck ðŸ‘

as in the past have said its a great idea if it gets of the ground but have heard it that many times on here only for nothing to come of it ,everyone wants it but no one is prepared to get aff their *expletive removed* and do something about it the time is now when feds have not set a date for their race programmes for next year why cant the officials of all feds get together and start to sift through all the problems that are going to arise out of it and then take it back to all their members to sort out were we race from ,transport and costs ,who controls races,and anything else that the members may have greivences about the time to stop chucking the dummy out the pram and acting like kids is now lets all grow up and act like men and try to save this dieing sport>?hobby of ours

[geordie1234]

[Andrew suckle]

Agree Del would be a great thing but Lanarkshire Fed members cant agree on anything what chance have you got adding another 3 organisations into the equation.not being negative just realistic sadly

Wit about the wee fed there dinosaurs it's them it's holding it back and if it's correct wit I'm hearing who's stepping forward to take over

Andrew i chose to race where I want to as you do,your whole club has decided not to support your federation.

Sammy

What you ask of your/ other officials is a major task , remember they have to work / family/ ..oh and they also have to look after there own doos .

 

Sammy

I know where you are coming from . Sometimes it's the past that stops us moving forward

StrathClyde Amalgamation

 

Lanarkshire Fed

South Lanarkshire Fed

Glasgow Fed

Ayrshire Fed

 

A rough total in membership of 500

 

All under SHU.

Glasgow lads would need to sort that, £17 fee

 

6 Races, all Inland.

170 miles

200 miles

250 miles

290 miles

380 miles

Yb 200 miles

 

( I believe in Channel Races we should get as birds as possible from Scotland in the one race,, if that means duplication into Nationals so be it.

 

8 sections in total

 

All existing from the usual FED set up

Lanarkshire 3 (plus south lads)

Glasgow 2

Ayrshire 3

 

All convoying with LRPF transport, possibly with another Geraldy if above 7500 birds.

 

Trophies ������ each section winner and race winner

6 Race average Cup, champion loft

Points Cup

ACE birds Cup

 

Each race will be sponsored by a local business for prize money

 

Race controlling will be a 3 way JOINT decision, by the chosen Controller for each Federation

 

Standard Open pools available every race

£10 loft pool

£5 Section NOM

£5 Open NOM

 

( all pools will be taxed 10% for running costs, with the birdage we would have no one would grudge)

This would pay for the presentation and Administrative costs.

 

The Amalgamation would run by a committee of 5 , 1 from each Federation and 1 for admin

They would over see presentations , results etc,,, as all the Feds would be racing on this program , if passed,, so it would be a matter of pools and results they deal with

Who in turn would be paid for his/ her services

 

All decisions would be made only by these members, who act only on behalf of the Federations.

 

Results, and updates. On basics,,, website through time.

 

One yearly sale from the winners of each race plus some top names in the sport.

 

Presentation Night, FREE,

Shirt & tie,, bring the old days back

 

The numbers are their to finance this organisation

and then some.

 

As I say the infrastructure already exists

 

We would need a majority vote in every Federation prior to race programs being made,, these 6 races would be in everyone's program, after that each Fed to their own.

 

The Race points would be selected by the committee in Year One, after then we can take it from there.

 

 

 

 

Any thoughts, changes or opinions welcome.... constructive if possible.

 

Rough guide to what I think could be what we are all looking for.

 

 

 

90% of the infrastructure is already in place for this,,, it's just a matter of coming together.

 

 

Bit of work .....nah ....a lot of work......BUT .....it MIGHT be worth it.....
