This weekend's racing - April 14/15th

It was supposed to be our first old bird race of the season tomorrow - BUT our chairman has just rung up saying that the race will be postponed until Sunday now, because of bad weather at the liberation site.

Not a great start, but better than losing all our birds.

What about you guys?

Phil

Basketing tonight at 5 for liberation tomorrow from Swindon,about 95 miles, rain overnight but clearing to a nice forecast Saturday,so should be a good start for us,

Same, same . Your one up on our Phil I suspect Boosey with the finger trick as it's a game he will not be playing for a while etc I would suggest.

Very clever Knackered - about the finger thing.

I do have another hand that works perfectly well though -

Phil

No Hal they've all reared youngens, they've all gone down on eggs again, I seperated s few last week and showed them their cocks last night, the rest will be seperated tonight and I'm going to give roundabout a go.

Ha ha, that was purely unintentional knackered, my fingers really are crossed, that wasnt a pun.

What about you Ray & Co.?

Where are you guys, how far, and how many are you sending?

fingers Phil

We have just heard that our birds were up at 08:30 hours - no wind to speak of - 93 miles.

This is our first race from Frogland, so no idea what to expect.

Will keep you all informed.

Phil

Exciting times Phil.
Good luck

give um stick m8 atb hope its a good race for you

We have no idea how we have gotten on - BUT we got 9 birds all back together, then 1 more hen after about 15 mins.

So all back bar 1 and I am sure she will make it back ok - just not enough education that's all.

Clocking tomorrow at 10 a.m. - so results to follow.

ATB everyone.

Phil

Got them ALL back!

The last hen to make it back, came home 35 minutes ago.

I am not saying that having all the birds back is all I hoped for, but to me, it proves the training we did with them was OK, and we are on the way!

As I said, we won't know the results until tomorrow.

Time to put the feet up and watch Formula 1.

Phil

well done phil getting full returns, a nice start to the season........let us know the result.

well done bluesky lofts, 100% returns is a good start to the season, a position in the results is an added bonus.

well done phil and hil atb in the result

well done to you both.
