You are welcome to attend the final at Pigeon House, Rye Street, Birtsmorton, Malvern, Worcestershire WR13 6AS.

There will be a marquee at the loft with seating outside. Light refreshments will be provided at the site free of charge. A barbeque will be fired to provide beefburger and bacon baps at a small charge.

As per current government policy, there is no restriction on outdoor gatherings, but please always take a safe approach in gathering around other people. If you go into our marquee, you are asked to wear a face covering and keep a distance from others around you.

Good luck to all competitors.

For directions, please key WR13 6AS into your SatNav. Once your SatNav says you’ve reached your destination, you will still need to go a little bit further until you reach ‘Pigeon House’ on your right side. Please park in the designated parking area.

Just hope we have decent weather and a decent race.

Think we have done very well to have two in the final.

Certainly hope so etc O/S bit worried here thou now I'm after our last toss as such. Perhaps we should just hold them all back for a tail type wind, maybe. Now I know we are all experts here, except our beloved Ray he knows nothing so David told me here, in confidence     so I ask the simple question, what will be a fare & reasonable return on the day with our race do you suggest, being a head type wind apparently & the way they have all been trained there before hand    .

Think if half return on the day it will be a result.

As long as ours get back it will be an acheivement, if in the hunt all the better.

I am happy to have two in the final and far better than most.

One thing I hope is that  it is not a trapping match and we have a clear winner.

Fingers crossed lads.

Regards.

hopeful of a good race for the birds looking at the weather

Like it a bit stronger here etc O/S but all things considered I will except that type of thing under the circumstances      if we somehow win   Thou that being said anything after 9 hours there now is in trouble I'm by my way of thinking. Because that race across the water here I mentioned yesterday was around 9 odd hours for 300 odd miles into a head wind, so I expect now in my own strange way from our 250 odd miler over land for it to be a fare & reasonable cut of type point when judging the birds which may home in reasonable time there. Now why I'm so generous with my thinking process is they are all being racing to the one loft as such as we know & not like the local ones I mentioned, who when they first hit land here yesterday on the home front side were on a 100 mile type front there from where they first started out & then after crossing 150 odd miles of ocean type water to hopefully maybe then find home & their favourite perch by nightfall   .
