Having just read the letter from the SNFC. Mr Mccord the president of the SNFC said he spoke to Mr Black of Northern Ireland regarding reports of bad weather on the channel were social media gossip. I would like to point out to the president that this statement was incorrect. The social media was in fact correct which was backed up by the race report from the INFC racing which I have copied and pasted from the INFC website. I just thought the members of the SNFC should know the true facts. IRISH NATIONAL FLYING CLUB Kings Cup –Saint AllouestreThe 2017 King’s Cup from St Allouestre was originally scheduled for Friday but due to adverse weather conditions the basketing was postponed from Tuesday 25th June to Friday 30th June for a possible race on Monday 3rd July as weather reports indicated an improvement in the weather However the improvement didn’t materialize and the update on Monday morning showed that the birds had been held over due to drizzle and low cloud from the north coast of France to Sennen Cove. On Tuesday morning we were informed that the pigeons had been liberated in St Allouestre at 7.20 am in a light and variable wind which was to turn westerly on route.
