Only if they decide to go up.Eye and yer right if it wisnae for the burd i widnae be here.

Sitting here crusing in the Med and just going into Gibraltar within the next hour ? unsure of the Tatics behind wrong information.King Billy would love it here Belly Flapping contest starts in 10 mins.

Less chance you fitting in we would need tae hire a trawler wae stablisers and tie yae tae the mast. ;D

Andy i think with your returns we will stick with the Lanarkshire. Take care Budgie

We have 64/66 and got one this morning from last week 68/68.Our winner this week in Newmains Flying Club 24/485 birds was the very successfull partnership of Lindsay & Henderson Velocity 1273.65.With returns good all round there should be a good entry next week in the Young Bird National.( If yer no init yae canny winit)

Whats the distance /times/velocity and returns like in your area today.

Nice to see we Jocky the Lum being right for once but is was only because we could not get out of Wilton Castle and the winner that day was Wee Wull Smart. :)They were taking just under 2hrs and returns were 1st Class

Alex how long is shortly bearing in mind the Doo Club Bar Shuts at 16.20 and yae might no get a pint

Last time Lanarkshire Flew Hexam was 2002 and the distance to Newmains 89miles-1437.yds

Visibility at Kelso,Galashiels,Peebles and Livingston between 13.00-16.00 is good with SSW 6mph winds and the only stumbling block is the Medium Low Cloud all over . :(

What was the Visibility like.And maybe if the Lanarkshire Fed was allowed we should be thinking about going with them next year.

Allan i hope you are right and as you have quoted we have had 5 1st Class races lets not do anything drastic at the last hurdle.But what a jump for the Young Bird National next week.

Alex If they are heading back North can you be more precise as you know the Pentland Fed are sitting at Towlaw and with no word till 12.30pm its either one of the other race points Otterburn or the Dreaded Kelso which will be a 15.45 liberation . ;)(and we have no chance of getting a pint in the Doo Club the day. ;)With the Horse Racing on at Ripon that may the reason for moving ;)

No word on the Lanarkshire Fed until 11.00am.Going by the the forecasts there will be some sunny spells but not many.If we dont get a race today they would be as well bringing them back as we have no chance tommorow with long spells of rain and the dreaded Thunder. :(

Thomson Bros of the Forth doing Vel:-1260 W.Smart &Sons Newmains are doing Vel;-1258

Mac i was told there was only four clubs who did not enter.On looking back to last years result we are 29 members and only 43 birds down despite being informed that returns have been good.Their Doos are either seek or they are putting them by for next year.

Sorry for the mistake i must have picked up the wrong message. Baird &Watson Glenmavis 2nd Open Well Done

W.Smat & Sons win Newmains with a Velocity of :-1258.910 and going by the times going round it will not be far away in Topping the Lanarkshire Fed.

Wullie Smart & Sons win Newmains with a Velocity of:-1258.910.Well done and by looking at the times the Open Race will be lucky if it goes to 11.40am.

We now have 65/68 and after breeding all these youngsters and going by previous years we were looking to winter around 40.The controlling team have done a 1st class job and we can now look forward to sending a Fair Team to the Greatest Club in the Land SNFC. God bless and take care. ;)

Sooner you move the better, with the crap you post.

Best time in Newmains Flying Club from Towlaw lib@8.45am s/e W.Smart & Sons at 11.14 am.We have 59/68 within the first hour so returns are looking good.

Whats the times /returns in your area and what distance are you flying from.The Lanarkshire Fed are up at 8.45 am from Towlaw which is around 110 miles to the Motherwell Area and going by the clouds they should exceed over 50miles/hour. :)Time will tell.
