just checking, with the wind and all, thought that would have suited ayr feds, alas they read the forecast wrong no race, anyway good race and I heared George gave us a brake,and stop putting his limit in,  before 3min past what a relief that was, but I suppose he will  not relent next week in the open

Quoted from schyphos

Sorry to hear about the missing birds Ryan and Tony,hope they all return guys.

thanks Jim, its stumped me, i just hope they return, otherwise old bird season next yr will have a knock on affect

27 from 26 from Reed, one lost from a bad training toss returned

Quoted from Tony C

Newark, 114 miles to us.

should have come ok the weather has been good all day in lincolnshire

Quoted from shadow

should have come ok the weather has been good all day in lincolnshire

One of those days that get thrown at us every now and again, no one to blame, just got to take it on the chin.

hope you get some more birds back. perhaps it's that area of notts (or east midlands) is the problem....north road  programme meets south road programme at about this time of season. i think unc from worksop today. my own lot were from malton ( east yorks)...i didn't send mainly through work...but also the corresponding races in  previous years have been 'difficult'. best of luck

Quoted from spin cycle

i think unc from worksop today.

UNC basketed today for a race tomorrow

so not guilty !!

Quoted from REDCHEQHEN

UNC basketed today for a race tomorrow

so not guilty !!

sorry, i wasn't blaming unc....just saying that part of world seems to become 'congested' this time of year. good luck tommorow
