JCN Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 West Bay after Guernsey ? Shouldn't it be before it ?Normally come back in distance for what id call a hens national... Obviously this year's different as we're not having the longest race.... Going on that logic battle would be gold cup race!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novice Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 Had a wee great uncle percy who stayed in west bay,if it's the same one its bridport in dorset and right on the water.Popular rumour has it that West Bay and surrounding areas now are home to ,not one, but several families of Percy. This is so evident that English organisations avoid this area for liberations. My source of information is reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novice Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 Robert have been told the same My information is from a fancier who flew with the MNFC for several years. I don’t recall seeing any liberations from West Bay scheduled on the RPRA web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy Posted May 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 I still do not see the reasoning behind West Bay being raced after Guernsey. Surely common sense would have a preparatory race on the line of flight of Guernsey BEFORE it? If West Bay was in place of Battle or Maidstone then it would make sense to me.

Delboy Posted May 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 No the cheapest thing Derek.....probably Around £1500 for ferry isn't a great deal when ye see the birdage price. you will find out it costs too much for the ferry tight as a ducks ass Correct Tommy, 90 k in bank , I'm sure we can afford it. agree Derek looks like they are trying to turn it into a sprint/middle distance club They are forgetting what the club stands for Jock.

Rebus Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 The cost shouldn't come into it the the club benefits from the sales at the end of the season mostly from long distance bred young bird's if they continue with race programs like this the sales will suffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
