Re: Hawks / peregrine lost birds

Hello NeilA/Andy, yes I think that's about as good as it's going to get, will pick my races this season & have a rethink personally as to if I stay with it or pack in. I fly in a great club only a few members which is a pity but will see what will change if anything for 2025 with racing, but I t...

Re: Hawks / peregrine lost birds

So it should really cater for all with a race program of interest to its members Yes & this doesn't, it's not been fit for purpose for a long time, too set in it's way of thinking I've got nothing against any members that want to fly the Channel but it's always going to have a detrimental effec...

Re: Hawks / peregrine lost birds

Andy I think the Combine race program isn't good 4 times @ Chale with the peregrines on the island what chance have we got.
