Young Bird Exchange Compitition

Hi all been thinking of how we can make this exchange a bit more interesting, so what i was thinking our furthest y/b race is 200 mile, so i would assume that ur furthest race would aprox be the same, now i know they would more tan likley be on different days but it still could be done, all we would need is a neutral referee to judge the winning bird, what we would have to do is time the birds in post the velocity where finnished in club ,fed, or combine number of birds in club ,fed combine weather conditions wind direction, when all results are in the referee will decide the best bird taking into account all of the above, So if we all enter say 5 pounds winner takes all, we can send the money to David to look after if thats alright with him.
This is just my idea if anyone else asone put it on so we can take the best one on
Ken

sounds god to me ken, i think ideas like this would certainly make the exchange very interesting.....im in anyway and would be interested in others thoughts on kens idea.

good idea

hi darren, so you are happy to accept kens idea then ?

yes david im happy with it

Just to let u Know we have a famous referee for compitition if it goes ahead
Ken

whos that ken ???

Now that would be saying all i will say is even Alex Fergason couldent find fault with this referee lol. no i will let you know if we go for it
Ken

lol ok

iam in but our longest youngbird race is around 280 mile how would that work

do you have a race around 200 mile ian

have one at around 180 and one about 214 mile

i suppose they will go on the 214 miler as ours is 176 miles then 230

that;s all right same as us up here in scotland our longest is 250 miles young bird
the exchange birds we get will be put into ever race as long as thy are fit.
and i hope the birds we exchange get put into all race points weather permitting.
it could be that by to time the exchange birds get to 200 miles that more than half of them are gone
and thats not counting the training of them.
it will be interesting to report every week be members the races the exchange bird are in at club level
if thy come home or get lost .

only a thought but theres quite afew more new members since the yb exchange was first discussed , if there is intrested from new members couldnt it be opened up to them this year the more the merrier

i know i didnt take part in the exchange but i agree with bluewhiteflighton this one.

yes why not after all its not too late still plenty of time

Try to join in with the exchange littlehen

littlehen,you still unsure of your comitments for next season ? seem to remember you couldnt join due to work comitments or something like that.....could be mistaken tho. think those that would want to join should make it known then ken and the members already involved could have their say on the matter......

sounds a good idea......but would be better split 50/50 with the breeder as well?

well with us in scotland the chances are they will be flying in poor weather and the birds in england would have a better chance with times for the speed so dont think i will bother with that one but best of luck to the lads that go for it

You do have a point

o yes totaly diverant with us here if the birds are not hardy they just go donw only the best gets throu the young birds program

That is thr reason for one loft races everything is on an even start

yes thats right
