I think you lot must be mad been to Stratford today racing weather diabolical its been bad around here cheltenham and north cotswolds for 10 days now  and the forecast next weekend is lousy for pigeons.

[Guest SPORTKA]

Blackjacks spot on, I live 15mls from Stratford and the weather locally is very rough. cant even let my ybs out for a fly round, the wind lifted a large crock pot with a medium size tree in it and blew it down my drive today ! Also apart from last Thursday I cant remember when it wernt RAININ. I really would think twice about sending birds  

[blackjack]

The forecast for Stratford and North Cotswolds for saturday intermitant rain ,low cloud  and cold northerly winds the same for sunday .Not racing weather for pigeons.

[phillips]
