GOOD NEWS approx 2245 birds were liberated at 11.15 am with broken cloud /sunshine and a light north west wind, birds cleared well good luck to all members

birds still not liberated due to weather at our end , next message 11.45am

due to poor weather at the home end the birds are not yet liberated, next message 10.30am can i respectfully ask members not to post on this thread as it is solely for the purpose of giving our members information regarding that weekends race,for the purposes of protecting any thread from useless info we were going to lock threads after i had posted but as this seems to have inadvertantly caused confusion threads will be left open.

which part of basketing/lib information is it that you dont understand ???????

as was pointed out at our AGM it was decided to have all posts regarding basketing/ libs locked so that they would only have relevant fed info on them , hope this clears up any confusion for any member who did not manage to attend, atb for tomorrow to all members

basketing will go ahead today sat 10th of May as normal, 22 cocks, 24 hens per crate, in the event of there being no liberation on Sunday the birds will be held for a Monday race

due to the poor forecast our next update will be tomorrow at noon
