Birds liberated at 9.00 in a south south west wind getting stronger on route ,expect a fast race

Alan Brown

Just spoke to Peter expecting to liberate about 9.00 ,will update about then

Alan Brown

I would just like to say thank you to the members of the weather committee ,Stephen Meadows , Martin Wade and Peter Mathews for giving up their time for the last 26 weeks to give a judgement on if the birds should go or not .
Most of the time we get total agreement sometimes not. At the end of the day they each give their opinion and that is what we ask them to do .

Thanks to each of you

Alan Brown

Well we didnt race on Wednesday but saved it all for thursday.
LAST MIDWEEK RACE FOR THIS SEASON
Sundays race must have dampened a few people but the members still found a few to race.with a good forcast the birds would take no harm.
One of our younger members was going to miss seeing his birds in due to work commitments ( he is daft on them but arnt we all ) so after a few phone calls the race was brought forward to a 12.00 noon liberation and the race went off well.
