RATHER THAN YOU HEAR WRONG IMFORMATION IN THE PUB ALAN THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE YOU THE REAL FACTS ABOUT THIS RACE AS I SENT IN IT,THERE WERE 544 PIGEONS SENT BY MEMBERS OF THE SEVERN VALLEY FED NOT A GREAT NUMBER I,LL AGREE BUT CONSIDERING WE HAVE HAD SOME VERY TOUGH RACING FROM THE NORTH AND WITH SOME CLUBS DECIDING NOT TO CHANGE TO THE NORTH ROAD IT WASN,T A BAD ENTRY.THE BIRDS WERE LIBERATED ALONG WITH THE WELSH NEW NORTH ROAD FED,THE WELSH GRAND NATIONAL AND ALSO THE SWANSEA VALLEY FED AT THE LATE TIME (IN MY OPINION)OF 10.50 IN A SOUTH WEST WIND,THE SHORTEST FLYER,S IN OUR FED WERE FLYING APPROX 295 MILES SO TAKING THE WIND INTO CONSIDERATION I THOUGHT ANYTHING FROM 8 AND A HALF TO 10 HOURS.THE FED WINNER TOOK 9 HOURS 23 MINUTES VEL.924.WITH 10 BIRDS MAKING IT ON THE DAY.RUMOUR AS IT THAT THERE WERE NO BIRDS HOME ON THE DAY IN WALES.THIS WEEK WE ARE GOING TO FRASERBURGH 385 MILES TO ME ALONG WITH THE WELSH AGAIN, HOPEFULLY THEY WILL BE UP ABOUT 6 OR7 A.M. AND WE WILL HAVE A BETTER RACE.

Does your Fed have any say in the liberation or are you governed by them?

On a scale of 1-10 how happy were the Fed with that liberation ?

MIKE,I CANNOT BE CERTAIN THAT OUR FED HAD ANY SAY AT ALL IN THE LIBERATION I WOULD HAVE HOPED THAT OUR RACE CONTROLLER WOULD OF BEEN CONTACTED ON THE DAY TO CHECK ON WEATHER CONDITIONS IN THIS AREA E.T.C.BUT I CANT BE SURE IF THIS HAPPENED,AS FOR YOUR OTHER POINT I,M NOT SURE ABOUT THE REST OF THE CLUBS IN THE FED BUT I KNOW OUR CLUB WERE NOT HAPPY AT ALL WE ALL SAID AT THE TIME THAT THE LIB WAS TO LATE,BUT THEN IS IT BETTER TO LIBERATE IN GOOD CONDITIONS ALBEIT A LITTLE LATE THAN TO HAVE A HOLDOVER AND NOT KNOW IF THE WEATHER IS GOING TO BE GOOD THE NEXT DAY OR EVEN THE DAY AFTER.
