sapper756 Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 As a matter of interest how much does it cost a fancier in your club/fed to send a single bird to a race? Will be interesting to find out how this differs between clubs/feds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRAHAM MITCHELL Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Ayrshire paid £100 convoying fees up front for all races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDCHEQHEN Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 65p per bird inland and non-combine race - and that is not profit making - it is what we get charged by the federation these basket charges have remained unchanged for several years as well, sometimes we make a loss in the club as some weeks we send part baskets but have to pay for full ones - the club also faces a fine if they put more than 25 in a basket (inland non - combine races) The club I am in tries various ways to raise funds - one is a loft draw £2 a week and is compulsory whether or not you send - 2 prizes won each week from members numbers (same number all year) We won it just once last year - £10 - it cost £50 for the privilege!
