Hi Dave. As you know Iām in the same combine so will also be starting next week. Stoney Cross for me is only 34 miles. The first 3 races are all from Stoney Cross Eastbourne our longest race for the combine is 118 miles for me. Brighton with the YBs is only 102 miles. As a club Glastonbury are looking at racing with the three counties classic flying club for their longest races. We can only race as a club with them this year but they will convoy us.CHARLTON34 wrote: āSun Apr 14, 2024 1:01 pm 1st race next week Stoney Cross 20th April if weather stays good out as far as Eastbourne ob , then only out to Brighton yb i think & fair to say with previous seasons in the past that the further we go out inland then it's not supported very well as the bigger club's NFC, BICC, etc kick in with there programme it's reduced birdage & combine suffer financially.
Just one of those thing's I'm afraid with falling membership across the board, just enjoy your pigeons while you can.
Regards Dave.
Cheers Dave
