United Kindom Weather 16th May Scottish Feds

[budgie]

Unsettled with Sunshine   and Heavy Showers   along with Strong Southwesterly Tail Winds. Lanarkshire are sitting at Wakefield some 180 mls  with around 5800 birds and i think the only chance of a Liberation is to get away by 8.00am. In Scotland we have 6 Feds @ Ripon.2@Wetherby,2@Stafford,3@Wakefield,1@Witton Castle,1@Kingussie,1@Leyland and 1@Arniston Good Luck to All.

Yeah south/south east winds I got too. Lanarkshire are biggest fed in scotland so surely they are not worrying about what other feds are doing?? We(Midlothian) will be watching what you's do as we're at wakefield too. Dont think we'd go at same time tho

Worrying about other feds it the incorrect word COOPERATION with other feds

Yeah but I would imagine all other feds will be waiting on you's cutting first. So with us being from same place I hope you's are away at 8 and we are away 8.30

1@Kingussie are you worried about clashing?

[frank-123]

your correct but it did say south westerly earlier

[budgie]

With the Race now cancelled and further to reviewing forecasts  i believe the correct judgement was made by the controller.The only slight chance would have been Saturday at around 4.00pm from either Kelso/Otterburn.Hindsight is a great attribute which only a few possess but my main concern is what we have in place in the way of transport should next day marking be required  in the future. I am as disappointed as every other Fancier in Lanarkshire but you can be confident that the Office Bearers have only the best interests and the safe return of your pigeons contrary to what is rumoured.Lets move on and keep the chins up. :(
