Birds go today vote was 3 to 0

Pick up times will be 4 hours earlier than normal

Following a complaint from Consett fed secretary the pick up route for Consett birds has been changed ,this also slightly alters Tyne and Derwent times ,both secretaries have details

I would just like to point out the previous route through Consett was the route specifically requested by the previous secretary ie staring at Delves the new route finishes at Delves

Hopefully birds not going 4hrs earlier, as they not going far so should only need to go 2hrs earlier. Know doubt they will so it spoil the WEEKEND AGAIN !!!!

Race delayed by 24 hours vote was 2 to 1 ,Stephen voted to go
