Guest Vic Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 According to my atlas, it seems we are going to a place called KINGSDON, about 5 mile nnw of Yeovil. It seems some screwballs dont know where we are going, including myself . ;D
Guest Vic Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 Mick, I know it is supposed to be Kingsdown, but I just can't find it on my road atlas. How far from Weymouth and in what directiON ?
expat1 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 Heard tonight that the Belgian National Yearlings which is supposed to be from Sint Vincent will be diverted to San Sebastian instead Tomorrow the KBDB will meet to discuss what they are going to do, Hopefully the Barcelona International pigens will go up in the morning

peterpau Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 KINSDOWN IS JUST OUTSIDE SEATON, IT IS A FARM I BELIEVE CALLED KINGSDOWN THATS WHY YOU CAN'T FIND IT ON THE MAP. ALL THE BEST FOR THE WEEKEND. Sounds right to me certainly not near Portland unless Portland has moved to Devon
Guest Vic Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 Kingsdown? Where is it? I will sleep on it tonight! ;D ;D
Guest Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 Vic, my combine flies its first two yb races from there but we as a club do not compete. To me it is only 17 mile!!! I can not give you the exact location and live down here!! If you look at Junction 27 of the M5 and head SE about 15 mile that's more or less where Kingsdown is I believe!
wayne77 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 Hope some officials of feds and natioanals make some strong brave decisions as can't have this every year we all work too hard for it to be taken away from us at last minute. The Belgian option is still available but for how long until banned on whole continent To where I live got to be North as best option can get just short of 400 miles from Thurso then there is Lerwick!! but some nationals/classics need to turn north as well for the extra interest. Don't think NRCC is over this way certainly not supported here.
Guest Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 Pompey Mick has picked up from DEFRA website that the Continental Racing Licence has been revoked as of today, 5th July. Nothing other than France on RPRA website. Looks like its back to inland racing from this weekend.
Guest Vic Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 Albear, Iv'e just spent the last ten minutes scanning the atlas. junction 27 (M5)no problem. But Kingsdown is not to be found. in a se direction. Thanks anyway. Surely somebody can pinpoint it?

square_peg Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 BACK TO ORIGINAL THREAD, JUST WATCHED THE NEWS AND BIRD FLU WAS NOT MENTIONED :o THANKFULLY 8) 8)
Guest bristolkev Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 Several countries across Europe have begun re-introducing measures to deal a bird-flu outbreak. It comes after officials in France and Germany discovered more wild birds that have died of the lethal H5N1 strain. Berlin has now decided to raise its threat levels after confirming an outbreak in the eastern state of Thuringia. The Netherlands is also restricting its commercial poultry to confined areas but it has refused to reveal exactly where the virus was found. Meanwhile, Europe's biggest poultry producer, France, has confirmed its first cases in more than a year. The disease was identified in three swans found dead in Moselle in the east of the country. Michel Barnier, France's agriculture and fishing minister, says it means birds and poultry will now either have to be locked up or protected by nets to avoid all contact with wild birds. Last year, 13 EU states confirmed incidents of bird flu. In most cases they involved wild birds such as swans.
Guest bristolkev Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 with reading the above do you reckons the netherland has a case of bird flu we have`nt heard about?
