these guys were second open from lilliers

[Gail J]

yes they are in our club

[Guest neil]

not only were they(m,p andw) second national 2 weeks ago but i think its the same bird,well pooled and marking station thinks its the national winner,all in all it was a good testing national with returns around 2/3 rds for some at 5-30pm but just a few fanciers had poor returns (myself 4/6 but nothing since 3-20 and behind on times,in fact cynon valley were poor in times and returns)

[Guest Rhondda RedFox]

Yes we topped the RV fed last 2 weeks..  Time today 13.21, velocity is 1403 today if they are in N Wales at 2.18 I think they will beat us..  Good race we have now had 17 out of 24.
