wot did ur 1st fed position feel like?

[Guest]

mine was 14th fed ,i felt like id won the lottery..i felt sooo good about myself.

the other members was hitting the fed now and again(being the most north club in the fed its hard to score unless the wind is right)..a week later i topped the fed by 22yrds....but it didnt give me as much pleasure as that 14th fed did.....although understandably i was on a high from winning the fed....paul

In a channel race earlier this year, we were led to believe that we were 2nd club, before the times had been read off, and that we had been beaten by 3 minutes at club level. Hubby went off to the Fed, and I got a phone call from a fellow club member with the correct times - that we had won the club, by  8 1/2 minutes, we also topped the Fed and the section - so we were a bit gobsmacked, as we didn't even think we'd won the club at one point. never mind top the Fed

bonzo ,, how you do the weekend,,,,,,,we have topped the fed and it gives us a buzz every time we do it,,,,,every fed card is greatly appreciated,,,,we raced for many years and never won a card in the fed but every fed card now makes up for all the times we were behind,,,,,,

[Guest Bonzo]

Hi chichichi

Not as well as i would have liked to have done but it was all down to the trapping the birds were there well before most in the club but would not come in so i  was 14th hope to have better luck this week how did you do.

[Guest]

our club is sending this week...from newbury ,1st race for our club,lots of birds missing from cot flying and training.

this season must go down to most y/bs ive lost around the cot...25 of them went missing other day for 4-5 hrs...they all come back in one bunch....where theyd been is beyond me....but my idea is they got caught up with trainers going through...most prob the europa one loft race birds...which have been coming through town...paul
