Huntingdon Sat 10th Sept 2016

We had our weekly meeting at the garage today and we have identified a problem IF the race is delayed until Saturday for despatch.

Friday pick ups are fine but we will have a shortage of drivers for picking up on Saturday ,there are enough drivers to go to the race but not enough for the ferry in runs

To help with this problem we would like to arrange for centre pick ups from each federation centre ,Feds could either centre mark or mark at clubs and ferry in to the fed centre.

Again I must stress this is only if the birds go away on SATURDAY

Proposed pick up times

Consett. 3.00
Prudhoe. 3.45
Greenside. 4.15
West Durham. 5.30

Newcastle. 2.00
Annfield Plain 2.30
Sacriston. 3.00
Deerness Valley. 3.30
Crook 4.15
Cockfield. 4.45
Darlington. 6.15

If Richmond members wish they could bring the birds to Barton and we will let them know a time if they send me a contact number .

I realise that not everybody will agree with this but our ferry in drivers have previously arranged family commitments. To go to every club the drivers would be out of tachograph hours to get the birds to the race.

The Cockfield to Darlington run includes a statutory drivers break and the Deerness Valley to Crook run needs extra time as the wagon needs to collect the trailer at Crook
