JonesyBhoy Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hours on the wing not miles flown in the build up will be the deciding factor in getting birds ready for Reims IMO.. that’s if the moult doesn’t beat us.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, may suit the celibacy flyers for sure. Natural next, if restrained from second round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budgie Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 The National should seriously consider Ypres in place of Inland National and give the Federation's a chance to recoup revenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they might have made a weeks grace in between the Maidstone and gold cup races I’m trying to figure it out as well... The jump is no issue imo.. but the doos need work on the wing plus ample rest prior to the event... Dunno if it’s possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if it’s possibleI keep hearing that the jump shouldn't be a problem Jonesy but you certainly wouldn't do it through choice. In my opinion there was time to move the youngbirds back and accommodate a program that would have gave the birds a better chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Last years Gold Cup Winner was at Maidstone 2 weeks before (18th Open) which is perfect for doubling back providing Maidstone isn’t to tough, but no chance this year, although guaranteed someone will manage it!

Valiant Fifer Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 If Reims is scheduled for friday 31st julyWhat will the hrs of darkness be. If Roye was originally for friday 17th july and the race closed at 10.30 should the Reims race not close at 10.00pm or 10.15pm.Just saying!

VAGIN Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 If there is only 2 races (maybe??????) from the snfc .Will all paid up members be entitled to a refund. Why should members pay £36 for a full program and get short changed with 2 races Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
