If you have to bring marking forward by a few hours or even a whole day, if it is beneficial to the birds then it should be done.Surely we wan't the best weather conditions for the birds. Mind you it has to be beneficial to the whole club. As for today? good luck to the North birds.

Close but no cigar.

Personally i think the racepoint is too close to the forth anyway, especially YBs. It may be changed next year, who know's?. Have to wait till AGM.

400 miles into North section.

Over the last 3 years The North of Scotland has liberated 11 times from Arniston and not once apart from Peter Calder has any controller from the area been in contact with us on day of liberation as to what time we were going up?

Belated birthday wishes Walter :Hope you had a good day.

Arithmetic not his strong point then ?

The North! where's that?

Aye, and we beat the world champions 46 years ago!!
