BICC going over the channel

The BICC have announced today a new race program for channel racing. They are going to start on the 18th June with St Philbert, they are then going to have 2 more nationals and the complete international program. The 2nd race will be on 2nd July from Poitiers and finally St Philbert on the 16th July. Due to them needing a vet at all marking stations they are going to have just one marking station at Salisbury for the Nationals and Sudbury for the internationals.
I certainly won’t be registering or entering any of these this year at least. I think that the birdage will be low and the costs high. I am going to continue with my plan of flying North. I’m hoping that either the BBC & CSCFC decide to fly a north road program at least for a couple of years or a new North road national club is formed. I can’t see south road racing being viable as it is with the added costs of vets and loft visits.

Yea stick with it, Andy.
You can't be changing the plan every 5 minutes, depending on what they are telling you this week.
As you say, the costs will be high, and it's a lot of travel.
All the best.
