GROVEHOMER

Been glorious weather here all morning, looks very good for the remainder of the day. Lt N.W wind.

THNAX FOR THAT V1JSL

Not heard a thing, nothing on their web site, I dont even know what time they went up.

Hyacinth, Blackburns' keeper Brad Fredel (think thats the correct spelling) saved 2 penalties plus made some more good saves to earn them a point at Sheff Utd this afternoon.

Well, I didn't know that! It just goes to show what we're up against. If pigeon racing was as big as footie (soccer, for your benifit Hyacinth ;D) I think these people would take us more seriously because we'd have more financial clought!

If there's money to be made what does it matter if vaccinating against A1 is effective or not? We all saw what a big part the media played in fuelling the publics worse fears during the winter and spring. At the moment I think this government would do whatever it had to, to appease a misinformed public....thats not good news, unless you have shares in one of the benifitting pharmaceutical companies! >

Good luck! I know how hard it is to build a team in Devon & Cornwall, Cornwall has the worst of it though. Hawks, the terrain and the low birdages all make it extremely testing for us, add to that the prevailing wind (S.W. or W.) its a hard task ahead of you. Having said that I wish you well, please keep us posted.

Where in Cornwall are you Andy?

Been drizzly and very murky this morning but since 10.20 its really improved here. Vis. good now (10.35) sun has made an appearance, moderate W.SW wind.

Lt WSW wind now, 75% cloud , 25% blue sky. Cloud not as high, vis good (but I am 7miles south of Yelverton. 16 degrees.

Weather much improved mist burning off, no wind, 15 degrees, high cloud.

That's great! It's good that your club is helping out too, our club would also support any newcomers, we,ve had two this season.

Plymouth, we have mist here, but the sun is starting to burn it off, no wind, 14 degrees.

ben, I tried to reply to you yesterday but have had major probs with computer. when ive sorted out my computer i will get in touch dont know how long that will be though! hope you and your fellow members have got some birds back.

Chin up Ben, where were you racing from, what returns are other fanciers experiencing?

To be honest we need rain here, its been hot and dry for weeks. 8)

I really think a fancier in tfe north will win it. The web cam hasn't been used for a couple of years now Gezza.

Here the rain not far off "Biblical"

Yes, free beer!...........tomorrow. ;D ;D ;D

Barracks still here Fifer. no pasties growning on trees though, the weather we're having today they'd be well soggy by now! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

TONY, I'M IN PLYMOUTH

Not quite in Cornwall Jimmy, but its only 2 miles away. I call them grubbers or streeters

RAINING.(08.35)

Yes, it can happen in any club, but its more likely in a bad race (poor weather, clashing, that kind of thing) or in smaller, less competetive clubs....no disrespect to the latter!

Looking dodgy now, no blue sky , cloud looks more threatening, rain can't be far away. Wind moderate to strong Southerly, still 18 degrees. (08.05)
