Race day is here! Soon, I will take my birds to the club and enter them for their first race. I'm not sending my good couple of ones as I want to make sure my birds are ready and can handle 40 miles ok and with the threat of showers I don't want to risk it anyway. My club mentour agrees with me. Still though, I'm just looking forward to getting them back, because I know I'm not going to win anything.
Wish me luck!
Tariq. |

I'll find all this out at the club later, but might aswell know early if anyone answers before then. How will I know the birds have been liberated?
Many Thanks for all the kind well-wishes so far.

Ask a member or the secretary to give you a call as lib line is expensive.
I am sure someone will let you know from your club.

Don't worry about birds coming home from 40 miles--They can walk that far.
Here in Texas 40 miles in 100F temps is only a training toss. |

Thanks guys. I sent 5 birds. I have the number for the Lib line, I'm hoping they go straight up at 7 or I'm gonna get fed up of waiting lol I'l let you know how I get on, though not anticipating anything great, I was advised not to send the best to the first race.

Tariq just remember the lib line is expensive so dont be phoning it too often Best to ask 1 of your club members to phone and let you know what time they are up wee man |

Well got up at 7, Lib line said weather was bad and there would be an update at 8:30
Phoned 8:30, weather still bad - update at 10
Phoned 10 - The convoyer still hasn't seen any sun, update at 12:30!
Arghhhh!
In the meantime, I'v been warned to get some cider vinegar to give them on their return as a precaution for young bird sickness.
You might be interested to know that of the 5 I sent, 2 are yours Bewted and 2 were bred by Mac1.

The weather here is pretty much: Blue skies visible, No rain, Some Sun. I believe there is a W wind. There is a mixture of white clouds and grey clouds. |

Hi Guys:
Birds got libbed at 12:05 pm
I have 3 back so far! Spoke to club sec and he only had 2 back at the same time I had 2 back, but he sent 15 birds and I sent 5. No idea how well I'v done, because of the late liberation we aren't meeting at the club until 6:00pm.
The Hen that came in first was one of two mealy pieds given to me by Ted (Bewted).
