Aah cool.
I used to fly with them and enjoyed good racing with them - even got on the result of the Jubilee race when something like 11,000 birds went might have been more - can't remember.
However, since the debarcle with their one loft race and the cover-up that ensued over the sale and the way members were treated I realised that some of the hierarchy were making money out of it.
This hierarchy has now infiltrated the top table of the East Midlands Region of the RPRA and I'm sure everyone on here already knows my opinion on the RPRA so best I don't say anymore in case I get thrown off the site.
However Dev, you did ask for my thoughts so all I will say is that in my opinion they are a robbing bunch of bustards and goes without saying -I am no longer a member.
(I have my tin helmet on waiting for the flack)
Pity Bowbroom isn't still on here.

Recently just moved from London to Glossop Derbyshire and I'm helping an old boy, his a member of NFC I've suggested he also joins mnfc but we don't know where the closest marking stations are.
