Some NIPA future thoughts -

Good morning everyone. A fellow fancier has asked me to post his thoughts to the fancy on An Alternative way for the NIPA to help pigeon racing. This is not an attempt to split the NIPA UP but rather it is meant to help save the NIPA.

To help reduce losses in pigeon racing the NIPA might choose to reduce the size of the liberation by having Three Sectional Groupings, say:
● Sections A,H and E together
● Sections B and C together and
● Se tions D, F and G together, say liberating 5 minutes apart with wind direction on the day dictating which Sectonal Grouping would go out first, second and third on that particular day. These Groups would 3,000 to 4,000 birds each.
This would be for Inland Races only, Derby and Channel races would remain as they are.

Liberating as such would mean that birds in a Sectional Grouping could be afforded a better chance of going on their particular line of flight and as a result they would be less likely to be dragged all over the country.
Section Winners would remain as they are, with the possibility of a Sectional Group Winner AND there would still be An Open Winner.

PLEASE NOTE
These suggestions are not by any means an attempt to split up the NIPA but rather an attempt to save it.
To conclude, human nature being g as it is means no-one likes change. Please give this your consideration and opinions. Thanks in anticipation.

I have been asked to share this and its something EVERY NIPA Club should be having discussions on to preserve the future of the local soort doing forward before its too late. HOMER.
