| i know in our club all of the first birds have all been within the same time with just yards between them.......this has been for the last few weeks too. dont know what happened with our race today (only racing ybs) and havnt heard from ken(friendslofts) so i presume they might have been held over ? we`ll see if he puts any results on tommorrow. hope you get them breaking at the right point tommorrow kev, hopefully they will have got the line right after last weeks practice run.......... |

| Our fed let go at Falaise yesterday (186mile to us), let go at 0745hrs the weather at home was awful all day, Freezing & heavy rain showers..........but they battled through, very split up at the club we timed at 12.17 and birds were soaked through and very tired some members hadnt seen a feather by 5.00pm
Other birds at Exeter (105m) let go this morning at 0730hrs and again very cold here with heavy showers, so it will well wrapped up again shortly as i go get ready
best of luck to all racing today........GOOD RETURNS |
