$$$ DA$H For CA$H Club $$$

Money Money Money Money
A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound
A buck or a pound
A buck or a pound
Is all that makes the world go around,
That clinking clanking sound
Can make the world go 'round.

An invitation to racing pigeon fanciers in Ont., Que., N.Y. State and Pennsylvania.

Are you keen to race for hard cash minus all the trappings and politics of regular racing?

Plan to attend the inaugural & organizational meeting of the new DA$H for CA$H Club on Sunday 11 FEB 2007 at Schomberg Lion’s Hall commencing at 10:00 a.m.

Concept:

Four (4) 300 mile money only Sunday races!!!

May 27 La Sarre
June 3 La Sarre
June 10 La Sarre
July 8 Matheson

$25/bird no limits. $3/race Secretary fee.

Shipping Saturday night 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m from Schomberg Lion’s Hall.

Clock off Sunday evening 8:00 p.m. Prize money paid out immediately Green on the Scene as soon as the last clock is read. 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th – 40%, 30%, 20%, 10%

Times of 1st bird clocked must be called in or e-mailed within one hour of clocking or member is disqualified. Called in times must accurately reflect the true clock reading to the second, or the member is disqualified.

All times will be promptly posted on the internet. No surprises or guesses at clock off, only the money winners need bring their clocks in Sunday and collect their CA$$$H.

It is anticipated that an annual $30 membership fee and Saturday night canteen will cover all expenses and if so 100% of entry fees will be paid out. Nothing held back.

Sorry missed that member fee line.

Are these race stations set in stone or are they open for discusion? With an opition to change?

Like changing one or 2 of the La Sarre to Macamic and Rouyn-Noranda? These 2 places were great to even up the distances for the short end and long end in the EOC. Mostly about 10/20kms apart, some only 2-3. Not sure how different it would be for the UNC. Have you guys ever raced them? Check the EOC's website for the distances in the last two young bird races.

Hi Connie

Nothing is set in stone. That is what the 11 FEB meeting is all about. If you can't make it, send me your suggestions via e-mail and I will make sure they get discussed.

After the good support on the last Dash For Cash race we are optimistic that the concept can succeed. An announcement will be posted in the next couple of days on the next race for this year and the plans for the future. Stay tuned.

By Mikev (74.115.199.6 - 74.115.199.6) on Friday, June 15, 2007 - 05:34 pm: Edit

Hello Everyone

Due to the support of the membership this past week, the next Dash for Cash race will be flown on Sunday July 8th from Matheson as originally scheduled.

Thanks to all for supporting this concept during its fledgling stages. In order to help keep the payout nice and attractive, it would be super if we could encourage maybe 10 new members for the next race. Please canvass your club mates.

We believe that the concept showed enough support this year to warrant continuation into the future. We did some things right and we learned a whole bunch about what can be improved on. There will be some changes for next year, but the general concept seems to be a winner. Watch for ongoing discussion as we continue to work out the bugs. We will keep you informed.

Hope to see everyone on shipping July 7th.

Dash for Cash Committee

By Mikev (74.115.199.6 - 74.115.199.6) on Sunday, July 01, 2007 - 02:26 pm: Edit

Due to the inability of the committee to obtain a driver within the budget allowed to us by the limited support of the races, we are unable to continue with the Dash For Cash races.

Thanks to all those that joined and those that shipped. It was a nice concept, but the level of support needed was just not there. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Good luck with the rest of the old bird season.
