In the likelihood of government relaxing of restrictions and racing commencing
The welsh north road are preparing to release a revised programme for old birds 2020..
The thought of going overseas has been disregarded for this year ..so there will be a min of three old bird nationals and three young bird nationals this will include
old birds
Maidstone sat 27th june
Battle 4th july
folkestone 18th july
young birds as advertised
Maidstone aug 22nd
Battle 29th aug
Folkestone 12th sept
THIS IS ALL BASED ON POSSIBILITIES and after looking at other obstacles of club entry for basking etc
we hope you appreciate the decisions which have been made but at this stage with members crying out to race "any racing is better than nothing"
Coronavirus Covid-19
First and foremost let me just say that the North West Homing Union hopes that all members of the pigeon fraternity stay safe and well during the current crisis, it also extends a message of gratitude to all the frontline professionals that are once more stepping up and helping us through these testing times. Given the changing nature of the current situation with regards the Coronavirus and evolving advice from the Government and scientific experts while I hope I’m wrong I think it is clear, that the country is preparing for difficulties and increased restrictions for at least the next 3 months. Which in turn would take us to end of June early July with regards potential restrictions on gatherings and on people with underlining health issues which will affect our ability to race. Also, clubs, pub’s and other public type venues that are the bed rock of a lot of club’s HQ’s have restrictions placed on them which will impact the availability of racing. While its hoped that this isn’t the case it is also doubtful that things will snap back to normal at the flick of a switch and precautions will still need to be taken with regards the elder sections of the population and those with underlining health issues for a time after the peak of the crisis has passed. Its at times like this that we all need to pull together and despite whatever issues, and differences transcend across the sport a joint approach needs to be taken where ever possible in the best interests of firstly our members and their families and the public health and wellbeing. Things that can help at times like this, and I know it can be difficult at time but helping our older members and those with underlining health issues get corn, if on allotments water or help with some of the more onus task’s around the lofts anything that would reduce their time at risk. Then small things like phoning people talking to them discussing what’s happening, giving people who may be facing isolation and time alone the chance to talk about what bring us together the birds be it racing or showing it really is good to talk. Now I’m not an expert no do I hold any medical qualifications however I think we should consider the following as precautions that may well help when and I repeat when the pressure and restrictions start to ease which they will in time. Clubs and fanciers were possible look to combine resources for basketing and clocks. Consider if you want to race or train, if training then birds don’t need to be transported as far minimising time in basket and transport nor may clocks need setting. Also the following may help Allow more time to basket the birds. If ever there was a case for widespread any-age racing / training then I think the current situation answers that question. Older members and those with underlining health issues should only be required to basket their birds & get their clock ready for collection for basketing / setting. As a minimum of two people to set clocks / operate ETS systems. Minimum of two people to act as basketeers - transferring birds from members baskets to training or race baskets. All members as far as is practicable to wear gloves and minimise personal interactions. To help keep interactions to a minimum allocate time slots for members to basket or present their birds for basketing. Basket in the open air. Please be patient and always think what is best for your fellow members and their families, this virus doesn’t have a conscience. Now I know it will put more pressure and heap more work on even less people than normal, but needs must, and we all need to pull together which I believe is second nature to to the pigeon fraternity. Please above all stay safe and healthy. Regards Terry Phifer North West Homing Union President
