well done john on yer returns seems like a very fast race for you

our birds went up at 7.15 into a light headwind

Good luck today Darren hope you get a good one

yes Darren we had a great race we had 17 drop together ,the winning bird had a velocity of 1857 and we was 1847 so it let you see how close the other birds were to put us back to 8th place. but we are 2 down as from today so cant complain. best of luck racing to all the members,

Yes Knackered. I look at it this way. They all had the same tosses, same feed etc,. Theoretically, they should have been close together. But theories are formulated in the absence of facts. I have to cut down so this is one way to do it. Incidentally, the first 5 were not early bred. Apart from the first one, their parents were good this year also. Like begets like, usually. Still 3 short this morning.

Last one back this morning, none the worst for a night out, no hawk/falcon/wire damage so couple of days rest and back up the road, very happy we've got them all home, very happy , especially as we lost those hens earlier from training

we got 11/14 and 1 reported birds, were well spaced out 2 nest mates were our clocked birds

well done darren. Sounds like it was a hard race for them. Hope the rest work back for you

For me - that is exactly the way to do it Lofty.

All the best for next week.

3 short etc could text them Hal best to find another home if they wish for a long life as such & while where on the text issue   . Local Fed today texted it's members for a crisus meeting tomorrow night here. Unfortunately where every one has to go as such they are keeping a secret for some reason by the text. Believe it or not .

it was a very wet day from about 10am .we had another one a short while ago weathers nice today so may get the other 2 yet atb

oh we were 11th club well done smith and adams taking the first 8 ...glad that ones out the way

Well done daz, like you say they will probably make they're way back today, sounds like you had a tough race, ours look to be slow as well, somewhere in the 1100, 1200 region, could be 5th or 6 th club, we are very happy with that

yes roy the winner in our club was doing 1100 was a slow race we were actually 11th club and 32nd open which was a surprise atb

Well done Daz great start to the season. I like to just get them home and am happy. We got our fist race tomorrow after 3 races that turned in to trainers lol. They are hoping for a 6 o clock lib so watch down your way tomorrow Roy or they might end up in my loft haha

Where you racing from John, I'm hoping to get a short training toss tomorrow, but yours would have probably cleared Swansea by the time mine are going
