If they go Saturday I'd guess at 3hrs 5mins but it will be a very different race Sunday or Monday as the wind is changing.

Very useful and interesting information once again Devo, thanks for posting.
I have to say I've never really fed much Barley, I always saw it as more of a winter corn.
We do have several members in our club who I know use it, might be worth investing in a bag or two !!

Interesting article Devo, cheers for posting mate.

Our Federation made the decision today to basket Sunday for a Monday liberation, frustrating but I'd rather that than no race at all. The birds well being must come first, it's a bit early in the season to start throwing birds away unesecerilly so I think it's the right call.

This weekends race from Rugby has been postponed until Monday due to the poor weather forecast. We will now be basketing Sunday for a Monday liberation, bit of a ball ache as I have to work but I guess thats the advantage of ETS.

Interesting post Neil, I race natural so can't answer your question I'm afraid. But as I've always exercised my birds twice a day they've always been fed twice a day, over the winter when the birds are on lockdown they only get fed once a day.

It's been cold today with rain this evening.

Good evening all
