It would be interesting to know where all this information comes from. Over in Belgium they are racing from Bordeaux and Orange this coming weekend, Both places pigeons can cross the Zones outlined, there are no rescrictions on the Belgian Fanciers racing at this time through France, As far as i know the Basketing for the Barcelona International goes ahead this coming Sunday, Of course that does not mean that the English Racing will go ahead as well I hope so but for the Belgies every thing has a green light

i hope the bbc havent moved to san sebastian. can't be doing with more sprint racing.

Yes Rose, Barcelona is on for Basketing on Sunday in Belgium. I have not heard anything about Perpignan but i know the French Minstry had a meeting with the KBDB a couple of days ago and it was passed that racing go on as normal

[peterpau]

Best o' luck geronimo. Mine should have been there too but bottled out at the last minute. Found my five water races this year tough but also rewarding. If your gonna progress you must know when to call it a day. Good luck.

All the best for this weekends races steve.

[geronimo]

this peterpau is wise man. i reckon the nfc and bbc will go for afternoon libs to miss the rain in the channel forecast for this evening. Either that or they will be in the baskets for another week.

[Guest]

They would have been better off libbing early as they would have missed the bad weather by the time they got this end. Tomorrow will be harder for them to get over the water gonna be rubbish.
