mealybar Posted August 14, 2005 Report Posted August 14, 2005 Will let you know tomorrow, ours ended up heldover! Lots of first timers in a holdover, hope its going to be better than I'm begining to think! Wonder why they heldover, maybe they didnt like the look of the north wind..haha
GREENGRASS Posted August 14, 2005 Author Report Posted August 14, 2005 hi meaybar, spoke with our conveyor this evening and he said that the weather at otterburn this morning was miserable and that the possibility of returning to kelso was discussed. luckily our race controller was again spot on with his call and we had a great race. i understand there were showers along the east coast today some heavy. dont know if that is why you were held over. best of luck with your race when you get it.

MsPigeon Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 We got 100% returns, each release they all came in a drop. We took the top 11 and 12 places and got 2 lost birds back as well. Lets keep our fingers crossed that the good returns that seem to be experienced across the country and around the world continue for the remainder of the YB season.
