Dilema (send or not send)

[likklegriz]

I was just wandering what other members would do. Our club have been no further than Swainswick (young birds ) so far this year 140 miles (approx) This weekend is the combine some 280+ miles would you send or not. Saturday was a bad race for me with only 1 returning on Saturday and the rest (5) returning today (sunday)

Cheers in advance Mark ( Denton H S)

Youngbird season is for education and if I was you settle for the experience they have gained and save them for next year.

Cheers Phil that will do for me its just one of those WHAT IF questions that i always seem to get at times like this :-/

If you've got a large team of youngsters left then you could send some but only if you can afford to lose them, if you've only got a small team them save them.

Always remember they are your future team.

Mine went 162 mile and had a tough 'un. So I didn't send to Guernsey, instead, I sent to Bath 82 mile and then in to Lamballe 274 mile. It's not necesarily the milage, I wouldn't send cos they came on the Sunday. And I don't think of me self as being soft on 'em. 274 mile is a good fly for a natural young bird (57th) 751 mile from Palamos. So as you can see I ask a lot from them.
