We are past winners of club and fed ave. We try to compete from the 1st race to last and if we win the Ave so be it but don,t send just to win ave. The north west fed a points cup aswell where the top 10 in the fed get points 1st gets 10 and 10th gets 1. If 1 was 1st five in the fed i would only get 10 points for 1st.So say T Blair was 6th he would get 5 points. As you can see you only get 1 go at points but you stop the next person from getting points. So that was the one cup we were realy wanted to win.

There was a programe on sky this morning Return of the Eagle Owl. Think it was a repete as it was about the pair in Yorkshire that bred 23 young.The fellow who was doing the programe is trying to prove that they were here in the 1800s. He had writen prove but the RSPB needed more prove. Liked the bit when he went to Holland where the rabbits died off the found hedgehog and BOP remains that they took.(bussard wings).
