I am probably not going to send the birds that have been going every week next week. I’m planning on sending all the hens as they haven’t had a race yet this year as they were widowhood hens but are all sitting eggs now. The cocks will go back to our final old bird race the following week from Ramsgate 168 miles.
Good luck mate hope they surprise you

That’s your blue pied “Steve” Buster. Third time my first bird this year.
Thought it may have been when I seen the ring number but wasn't 100% certain memory not as good these days :lol: :lol:, good to see he doing ok for you, was a shame you lost the mealy
The Mealey you bred me was lovely, just a shame I lost her off the loft and never got to try out 😔
I did get the Blue Chequer Stichlebaut cock that you bred me from Crieff yesterday, he was my 4th bird 👍🤠
Good to see mate, well done

I don't have a result yet as due to technical problems last night we could only do a strike report, as it's a 3 day race we will be doing the result this evening 👍
It was a tough race, albeit a fast one for some, I did get 10/24 home yesterday, including 3 at 21.55 and 1 at 22.57 !!😲 and 2 more so far this morning.

My time was 8hrs 48mins 17secs

It also looks like I will take the top spot in the Club 👍🤠
There are earlier birds down the East side of the Federation, which is no surprise given the strong West winds yesterday, we still have Eastbourne's times to come in but at the Moment the winner is in Lancing, Melvin Shepherd, doing 8hrs 26mins, I imagine that Eastbourne could be quicker !! At the moment I'm about 14th.
Well done Trev, hope others turn up safely as well

Phil is Weymouth next week 158-1711

Andy at Stoney Cross 34 miles 1123 yds

Thank you to both loft.
Hi George

No, Phil is intending to go to Vire the week after with the NMCC (13th July). They get liberated with the MNFC

I'll also have a treat for you for 20th July - but that can wait until nearer the time
