SITE FORUM - SYNDICATE one loft race (Somerset One Loft Race 2010)

Well here's an idea for you all to digest:-

As you probably know from the few postings last night i have 4 x youngsters (from Rudderfetts choice) which will be surplus to my requirements as they are to young for my first team and to old for my NFC team, as i said i was looking for a breeder/buyer to enter these 4 x yb in................WELL just been reading the BHW and thought of this

http://www.somersetoneloftrace.co.uk/

HOW ABOUT FORMING A SYNDICATE WITH MEMBERS FROM HERE AND ENTERING THESE YOUNGSTERS INTO THE SOMERSET ONE LOFT RACE 2010????

Just having a read up on this event and we can enter a team of 4 youngsters for £300 (see entry form), if we have 10 other site members as well as myself in the syndicate it would cost £30ea if we got 20 it would be £15ea

For my part of the entrance fee, i have bred the youngtsers and i will arrange the transportation/cover the costs of courier to the loft

This event would create a lot of interest amongst site members and if we are lucky enough to keep hold of some till the final race, we could all meet up at the loft and have a real party

Any winnings would be split equally amongst all syndicate members

WHATS YOUR THOUGHTS??

all birds are the same family Steve, when i moved down here in Oct 06 i brought the then stock team with me and sent a round up to mum/dad and i started to build a team down here

Each year we add retired racers from mum/dad to the stock team and swap youngsters between the two lofts to test them on different routes etc

RIGHT THEN LOOKING GOOD SO FAR, we will need someone to be treasurer for the syndicate (suggest we ask David) who will have to accept all the monies and then send out 1 x cheque for the whole amount

This is the list so far:-

Lightning (Mark)

Steve
Vader/Smillin (Bill & Pat) - confirmed
Rene - confirmed
Rudderfett (Martyn)
Peel Bros - confirmed
Friendsloft - confirmed
Don

So 4 x confirmed, 3 possibilities

another 3 and were up and running

Do you want to say cut off (Sunday 6pm), then we can email intentions to the organiser??????

Mark are these the correct birds
Ken
