NFC at Chale

[morton]

Just been to see the NFC pigeons at Chale. The pigeons all looked very happy and relaxed. They were being fed at the time and there is water on three sides of each crate permanently. Hopefully will get to see the lib. Good luck to all taking part.

Will the National give prior notice of liberation so that the shortest flyers can get ready? A lot of members will be looking to clock in under 30mins.

I would doubt a lib tomorrow, Rose. But I bet it doesn't rain here, we havn't had any of any use for weeks ! I thought about sending a couple Mick but 4 miles due West at lib is asking a bit much of them !!

More £ than that Rose I would have had to get them off the island and up to Frome first !! I think it would of done their little heads in too !

George Wood takes all our birds for marking and he has always gone to Frome. He is a great chap and does loads of work for island fanciers. This year though I don't think hardly anyone has flown a National race.

NFC are held at Chale but will they have to be held until Monday due to the Isle of Wight air show?  It would seem to have been another rash decision by the NFC committee.

On 2/3 September, the Island's skies will be filled with around 50 aircraft as it celebrates the 75th anniversary of the Schneider Trophy Air Race at Bembridge Airport.

I must admit that I didn't know until I was told it was mentioned on the local TV yesterday Rose, but I easily checked it out on the Airshow website.
