markbrown Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Any members of the Wiltshire Federation?? Have just relocated down to Woodlands St.Mary from St.Helens will be erecting a yb loft soon to get ready for next year. Been in touch with local club "Wantage" (approx 10mile away) and applied for membership I was told they race with Wiltshire Fed, anybody know a typical kind of race programme for young birds and what kind of area federation/member clubs it covers??

blackjack Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I fly with Carterton its alright good crates like the BICC and the birds are not one eyed handrailers . They get bust up and have to think not enough channel for me but thats just my opinion. The BICC mark at Wantage that is certainly a club worth joining.

blackjack Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Hello Mark ring the BICC secretary Jan Deacon on 023-9264-7762 she is very helpful. The BICC programme for the shorter flyers consists of 5 races to you from approx 190mls to 300mls you enter on the day so no pre-entry a week early and the cost at present is £1.75/bird so you do not lose out if a bird just isnt right on the day. You also mark at Wantage not having to travel far the 5 longer races starting from 530 mls to 670mls to you costs £8 for Marsaille,Dax Barcelona and Perpignan and £13 for Pau. Good luck Wantage is a nice friendly club and very competative also the Dax hens winner Dave Posey marks thier for the BICC he is a really nice man who flys a very small team very well.
