Don't know if anybody can throw any light on this. I remember reading about a successful fancier running a copper wire around his loft and burying it deep into the ground, in effect earthing the loft. Think it was to help in the breaking in of young-birds. Anyone heard of this ?

New Transfer Forms Over the coming months you will see a difference to the transfer form recording system. Presently you are required to write your transfers on a triplicate form. We keep the white form after processing and the yellow and pink forms are sent out to new and previous owners in stamped addressed envelopes provided by the new owner. In order that we can utilise the RPRA computer system and other technology to its best efficiency we will be dispensing with the triplicate forms. That will in part go some way to addressing the problem about size of envelopes mentioned above as you will now only need to send in one A4 sized sheet with the cost of the transfer. In return the new owner and old owner will get an A4 sheet back which looks very similar to the new stray report. In the fullness of time I hope that the cost of postage will be included as part of the charge instead of having to send in 2 SAEs but I am restricted to what we can do by the rules of the RPRA which state that SAEs must be sent in with transfers. I want to be able to utilise our office equipment to its best ability and that will mean having the return transfer forms inserted into the envelope by machine and then franked. Currently I have at least 2 staff stuffing transfers into the SAEs when in truth they could be better employed on other tasks. So there are efficiency savings to be made here. The new transfer form is available on the RPRA website under downloads and you can start using them as and when you wish. We will shortly run out of the triplicate forms here at the Reddings so you will start to receive the new A4 transfer forms in the post.

Mick I think it would helpful if a small map of the Uk showing sections be put on published results of national and classic races. Would help those like myself recognise good creditable performances being put up against the wind & drag.

West Essex away at 6:30 from Bubwith County of Essex away at 8:05 from Newark

Dagenham Essex sunny W/S/W wind 10-15 mph

Thought this would strengthen my argument if the wind is a major contributor to the overall winner. By having an open result it could deflect some good/great performances put up in other sections.

In the interest of future birdage and the seemingly unfairness of racepoints why cant the NFC just race for section wins, no overall winner? or is this the way its done anyway? When replying to this post please take into consideration that I have no idea of the Sth Rd racing scene ;D ;D just an outsider looking in. :B

Wiley take a look here for forecasted wind direction/speed http://www.xcweather.co.uk/index.php
