Why do clocks need to be checked on the day timed for all races ? As a fancier waiting on birds from any national is a great experience and sitting out the back door with a few beers makes it great but having to take your clock on the day stops us having a wee drink and enjoying our national racing to the max all the marking comittee have to leave their lofts also spoiling their race what is wrong with second day checking for all races ?
