Paul Mac 31 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 StrathClyde Amalgamation Lanarkshire Fed South Lanarkshire FedGlasgow FedAyrshire 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 miles200 miles250 miles290 miles380 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 2Ayrshire 3 All convoying with LRPF transport, possibly with another Geraldy if above 7500 birds. Trophies í ¼í¿† each section winner and race winner 6 Race average Cup, champion loftPoints CupACE 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 adminThey 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.

Paul Mac 31 Posted August 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 think you would need tae rethink the shu fee as this is the stumbling block I'm not fully aware of the whole situation tommy,,, ins and outs of it,,, But I just see for the sake of £17 ,,I mean it's no even 2 packets of fags,, Surely everyone would come to plate. From there it can be build into something special I think,, for me it needs refreshed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VMS Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 think you would need tae rethink the shu fee as this is the stumbling blockSplit a national club with more than 100 years of history behind it so it's a non starter with those restraints, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STB Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Would be good to get up and running for the whole west section on the old Strathclyde catchment area.. The SHU will put the tin lid on it id say . Its not the £17 for some its the principal hence some are in RPRA .Acepting any unuon would be a step forward .

Guest mambo Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Their are 450 Lanarkshire members alone, and you ask of 500, and using their transportation, they the Lanarkshire fed members , would want first dibs on the trucks, as against in the trailer's and as far as Strathclyde area cover's getting birds picked up will cause problems,and racing can have its problems also like it can be wonderful weather, in lanark but blowing a hooly in oban. Area is to big for weekly racing maybe 2 races a season the national would not thank you for the division Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he would only click on this wonderful thing called the LRPF website..go to the results page...take any of the last 4 seasons.. take off his shoes and socks off and count..he will see that we actually hardly ever go above 260 members sent to any race...
