our club are basketing sat for a sunday race ...should just call it off its our yearling classic too which is a shame but I wont be sending for a dodgey lib or a extra day in the baskets ....feckin ridiculous if you ask me ,we worked to hard and think to much of ours to just throw um away ...no race for us this weekend unless theres a miraculous turnaround in the weather for sunday

showers wont be a problem , its the strength of the wind whats the problem
mines only a 50 mile race , but the daily express as a weather story nearly every day one min we are having a heat wave next we are having a 72 hr storm there full of shit most of the time .

we are at 190 mile ripon kev diff kettle of fish and we are going up with the welsh birds for first time too...na it don't sit right for this weekend for me but good luck if ya send but our birds are in the hands of the welsh convoyer so will see how he plays it as their seems to much cloud cover on sunday in ripon

decided yesterday not sending, don't have enough to gamble off to caravan

i can understand your thought daz , with the strong westerly wind where
getting you will have a really hard day sat if you send , we are racing out of yelverton in devon we will have strong wind up there back side , some feds are delaying basketing some are not , i will decide at the very last min and im checking all the weather sites but if i do send im only sending a hand full .

Not sure about the UK. Weather is too bad at the release point do they not bring them back to a better release point? weather permitting? Happens here.

they used to call a holdover now they either move closer or even bring them back some take the risk and let them go in the hope most will get back sadley that aint always the case 2 years ago most of the uk were wiped out thousands missing all let go in poor condition the same fate happened to the irish lads last week

but as ive said you do have a choice not to send theres always another week

terrible start to the season up north east, holdovers, cancelled races, not racing this weekend as terrible forecast, and due to the weather we missed our 240 miles racepoint so this weekend the birds have to cope with the weather as well as a 125 mile jump, good luck to all whos sending but mines staying on there perches for this week.

Not good weather here also but as the last race was cancelled the Fed has decided to go ahead with it. Each to there own but not for me.
