Having Had Discussions with the Majority of the Federation Committee on a whatsapp page that was set up by myself the following proposals have been agreed on .
As meetings are still currently not allowed due to covid restrictions and decisions had to be in place to allow the secretary to have necessary paperwork submitted .
Would all clubs please make sure for the first 2 to 3 races that all baskets are filled with 24 cocks and 24 hens this will allow clubs to load on to the transporter their requirements ,if the lorry was over capacity at Gretna we would have a plan in place to address this
Please adhere to 24 birds per basket to ensure smooth running throughout the federation on marking night regarding first two to three races .
It was agreed that any old bird midweek or young bird midweek /weekend training would be set at £10 per training toss .
The federation secretary has not yet received rubber rings and seals from the SHU ,
These will be distributed to club secretary’s as soon as available
Once the Scottish government lift restrictions and we are directed to race by the SHU
I will issue a further update regarding Appleby /Stainmore Training and our first race from Shap when this information becomes available
Thank You
Michael Currie
President
