| yep, Exeter let go at 0730 and we raced Falaise yesterday lots of birds missing and hours between birds, we were one of the very lucky ones we had 9 back from 12 sent when others didnt see a feather |

| sorry to hear it was a bad one mark, weather was bad here all day so they must have travelled the route home through it all...........as it seems it was like this over most of the country. good luck for today.............. |

| as said we were one of the lucky ones all our main ones home, they were well prepared for this race and it certainly wasnt a race to send a team to try and get some experience into them, a weeks rest now for ours and then into NFC on the 22nd |

| No more home still 5 outof 8 we can only time one bird up to so far then 2 as we go up to 200 then 3 up to 300 then as many as you like past that its a way of giveing every one a chance to get on the race sheet |
