Just received the cameras this afternoon ,the video from Saturday is now on you tube search for WDA Billericay 7th May 2016
There is only about 30 secs of video which shows the sky just before liberation ,he was unable to get actual liberation as there was only 7 of them to liberate 3 wagons and 2 trailers
I have been informed this afternoon that the Up North Combine are delaying basketing until Friday to race on Sunday ,in accordance with the protocol this means they will not be competing in the NEHU race if it is flown on Saturday
As usual our weather committee will decide on Thursday morning if we go or not
