I’m sure there are fanciers in Shetland. The SHU would maybe give you a contact or try someone from the Highlands & Islands federation

Danny, I phoned Jack last night. It should be back next weekend

That was fairly obvious last year

The SHU have issued regular emails to federations. The latest sent last week is that bird gatherings are still prohibited until the license is reinstated. This applies to the whole UK. The COVID restrictions vary between countries and travel restrictions in Scotland mean we must remain local. Horse racing is big business. Unfortunately pigeon racing is not. The SHU as governing body can’t advise federations to ignore government rules. Any federation which does would be doing so at their own risk. From past experience, trying to get advice from the Scottish Government or your MSP is a complete waste of time as they will only refer you to the advice on the government website.

An Arbroath legend! Past President of Angus Federation and a great worker for the sport. Sorry to hear the news of his passing. Condolences to Bill’s family.
