get sunglasses for anyone within two hunner yards cos o the glare aff yer heid

BASKETING IS GOING AHEAD AS NORMAL 20 BIRDS PER CRATE. HOPING THAT WE GET GOOD VISIBILITY EARLY ON SO THAT WE CAN MISS THE HOTTEST PART OF THE DAY THEREFORE FIRST MESSAGE 07.30

1279 BIRDS WERE LIBERATED AT ARBROATH AT 09.50 WITH NO REAL WIND AT RACE POINT BUT HIGH BROKEN CLOUD AND SUNSHINE ON BASKETS PRIOR TO RELEASE, BIRDS CLEARED IN ONE BUNCH OVER ARBROATH, BEST OF LUCK AND GOOD RETURNS TO ALL COMPETING

NO IMPROVEMENT EITHER AT RACE POINT OR AT THIS END, IN FACT IT IS SO DARK HERE I AM READING THE P&J WITH THE LIGHTS ON!!! SUN BREAKING THROUGH IN THE WEST SO HOPEFULLY IT WILL WORK THIS WAY, GOOD VISIBILTY IN ABERDEEN BUT 100% CLOUD COVER NEXT MESSAGE 10AM

NO LIBERATION AS YET DUE TO HAZY CONDITIONS AT LIB SITE AND LOW CLOUD COVER AT THIS END, NEXT UPDATE 08.30

NO REAL CHANCE OF A DECENT RACE ON SUNDAY SO BASKETING IS GOING AHEAD ON SUNDAY FOR A MONDAY RACE, GOOD FORECAST FOR MONDAY WITH FIRST MESSAGE AT 07.30 SO THAT WORKING MEMBERS CAN HAVE SOME INFO BEFORE LEAVING HOME, 23 BIRDS PER CRATE other news --- john thompson has offered an emergency service with reduced rates for any members whose ets battery has gone flat this weekend waiting for me to liberate :crying:

WEATHER FORECAST IS IMPROVING FOR SUNDAY SO STILL A CHANCE OF A RACE THEN SO NEXT MESSAGE NOON ON SATURDAY. monday still looks the better day with far less cloud cover but sundays forecast has gotten better by the hour so dont rule it out just yet

BASKETING HAS BEEN DELAYED DUE TO POOR FORECAST, NEXT MESSAGE 8PM ON FRIDAY. weather for the whole weekend looks poor especially on the coast so unless there is a change of forecast i dont anticipate getting a race this weekend but i am looking to have a race either monday or tuesday if necessary, i dont want to send birds to the race point for their first time if i dont think there is a real chance of a race taking place. Also dont want to have them sitting there for 2 or 3 nights in the crates in the hope that we get a break in the weather.

brilliant !!
