   One Loft Race Statement

 At a meeting of the full committee of the MNFC held on Sunday the 9th October the decision of the One Loft Race Committee was endorsed.

This is to pay each of the birds that reached the final race from Coutances an equal £329 share of the total prizemoney on offer.

  This was considered to be the fairest way of dividing the Prizemoney as it was felt in the circumstances that a ‘roll over’ of the Prize pot was not a viable or realistic option to take.

  We would like to stress that the 2016 event was at no cost to the Club or her members as all of the expenses were covered by the initial entry fees of the birds.

  In this way if the Club is to hold another One Loft race in the future that it is essential that it is done from a totally ‘clean slate’. The Club is exploring the option of holding another series of races with a fresh experienced Manager and from a different, purpose designed location. This it is felt will be essential to offer a race series that is a credit to the MNFC, her members and the one loft supporters who are wishing to compete with us.

  The Club Committee accepts and holds its ‘hands up’ to the undeniable fact that errors were made this year but it is believed that the mistakes have now been identified and will be rectified. In the future if we are to continue with the One Loft event it is vital that our Race is one which we can all be justifiably proud of !
