Club AGM

[NeilA]

We had our club AGM this morning. We had no resignations and 4 new members join. So now up to about 24 members.

What kind of radius would that be Andy
We only have 14 members in a 8 mile radius
2 other clubs radius overlap us one nortb rd one south they have about 13-15 between them

Our club has an open radius. We have members over a 25 mile radius. There is very little choice down this way. As a club we are racing in both the WOESRC and the 3 Counties. I think most of the birds and members will be racing with the 3 counties. We had a quick estimate as to the number of old birds that could be sent to the 3 counties so that we could sort out the number of crates we are likely to need. We estimated around 450 birds.

So is that 25 miles from the central point making 50 ?
I think you said last year but I can’t remember
I guess being a rural area and no one really coming in the sport we will all be in the same situation as you soon
I think you do great to just go to marking in a Friday I don’t know if I could

Some good news there then

[NeilA]

Like a fed radius kind of thing

[NeilA]

Least you won’t have 34 mile races this year so often

[NeilA]

What will you do Andy out of the options

What will you do Andy out of the options

Because we have the option of flying with both or either each weekend I think most of our club will send to Stoney Cross with the WOESRC for the first 2 races instead of Blanford. 34 miles instead of 18 miles.

Makes sense I would most would already train that distance

Rules of the game are dead simple

Shorter the race the more important it is to get out and away real fast

Bit like the 60m indoor sprint

You get away bad and you're screwed

For them kind of races would you think about a family that’s competed in the really short races they have in Belgium where they race 60-80 miles weekly not the sprint birds we have here that over generations have become pigeons to fit our programme

[MIL]

But pigeons that are leading have zero birds ahead of them.

They know where home is and they should be looking for it from the point of release
