Bop's very bad.Woever got to go with Clashing for the main reason for losses.In Glasgow fed sent 18 and got 18 for three weeks in a row however once turned south and into north of England we have major losses. I am however reluctant to blame race controles we must give them more power to do as they see fit (different times and days) if that is whats required in order to get better returns then so be it. Must be united whatever we do (To late for a wishy washy responce

Sorry time out Our aim when we send birds should be to say to our race controllers do all you can to get our birds back.if this means a no race on a monday or a time when the skys are less full,then so be it the birds must come first not our need to Race on a Sat. -

Spot on mate.would be happy to attend such a meeting,and you are right now is the time. Our probs come from lack of guidence and leadership. We raced on Sat cause we alwas race on a Sat.Hard to imagine race controller not knowing about other libs in the area.However refuse to critisise had job thankless job.it is us as fanciers who do not give enough room for manouver.there is surley reason for a change in goals. 1 -

Thats an over an hour since first bird, and nothing more back.Kilsyth club clocks delayed, so looks like we ar not the only one struggling to get birds. Any word on south Lanarkshire returns out of Wetherby? -

As discussed on here lack of investigation committee that could at least recommend such trials to at least come to some conclusions with recomendations the best way forward. What shall we do with the drunk'in sailor

Thats the point i am making mate.little or no chance of clashing over last two weeks this will change this week. Hope i am wrong.wonder if we should keep going east out to sea say another 20 miles,continue to fly across from east to west. Where do you get a boat, nae bop either Any thoughts on libs from sea?
-
Had great races last two weeks with Glasgow fed.Flying almost due west from Dumbar, on the east cost of Scotland,over to Glasgow some 60/70 miles. My thoughts is next week when we race from the south east things will change,for the worst.Clashing with different east feds most coming north east will i fear see the end of our good run of Races.Indeed praise to our race controler who has made a lot of breave decisions over the last few weeks.
