Can't say for certain, but NW Open from Wakefield seems to have been a bad one. Best time and returns I heard at clocks [1500] was J Smith, Grangemouth, 12:38 and he had 30/42 then.

 

But majority seem to be poorer returns and others like Plean club had 3/6 members still waiting a timer at clocks. I've only 1/3 at nightfall, and at 14:16, well back.

dont be stupid, yours is perfectly okay , and they determine if on the day if they consider a bird to fly faster than they think is possible they might deem it an immposible velocity and disqualify the bird, has happened to somebody who won a big race and got disqualified, but sometimes they will be wrong because anything is possible

cheers for the support tam, just 1500 birds motoring on there way, how does 1 bird suddenly break away and motor in a strong west north west wind?

Well done Pete,

Its down to motivation and the wish to get home, also probably chased/caught the tail enders of another liberation.....

 

Impossible is down to the day!! and there are plenty of races being won in the mid to high 1400's yesterday

 

Well done mate you deserve it ;)

Doubt if improbable velocity would be levelled at your bird for 17 minutes, Pete. Don't get me wrong, 17 minutes is an excellent margin to win by, but last week from 155 miles one of our members won by 35 minutes and nobody thought for a moment that the result wouldn't stand. Like yours, Angus's bird was keen, a young cock sitting chipping eggs.

 

Well done.
