They don't all get lost, just been to club for first race and first six members put 30 birds each in !

they may have sent 30 each but how many did they start with and how many have they still got at home?

Thats more than i even used to start with

Weather was hot and sunny here in Dorchester yesterday Mick and visibilty was good, but the wind was very strong from the east which would have made it a testing fly for YBs heading back to Portsmouth. It's been a strange couple of weeks though with our YBs regularly taking two hours and more to return in ones and twos from their first few training tosses of 5-15 miles and many having a night out. Thankfully we haven't lost too many as yet ! Old birds have also been struggling from across the Channel and locally the BBC race from Bordeaux last Saturday was nothing short of a disaster with no real explanantion for what went wrong. Only 90- odd birds were verified in two days and around this part of Dorset, where we only fly just over 400 miles, top fliers are still missing a lot of experienced birds. After a very testing Palamos with only a comparatively small number of birds verified in race time, it hasn't been a good season so far for the BBC, let's hope the young bird channel race is better.

wE GOT A BAD UN ON OUR TRAINING VAN LAST SATURDAY WHEN JUST ABOUT EVERYONE ON IT HAD BAD RETURNS BUT HEY IT HAPPENS AND YOU HAVE TO GET ON WITH IT AS IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN & AGAIN STARTED TRAINING 47 AND NOW DOWN TO 32 BUT THEY WILL BE GOING TO MOST OF THE RACES UNLESS WE HAVE BIG LOSSES AGAIN AT MY PLACE
