The UNC had our open race this weekend, I didnt sent and dont know how it went, but the weather was far from perfect!! Our official race is this weekend and mine havent seen the basket yet, and there isn't enough time on a morning to get mine up the road B4 work, so Ill have to wait another week for mine.

[jimmy white]

A FEW COLD EAST WIND HARD TOSSES OR RACES , WILL FINISH THEM FOR THE SEASON,,,THEYLL NEVER SEE THE LAST RACE

[westburylofts]

 

THINK THIS IS A QUESTION ASKED EVERY YEAR

FROM WHAT I CAN MAKE OUT.

 

THE LAST 3 YEARS OUR LOCAL FED'S  HAVE STARTED ON THE SAME DATE'S

ONE ON THE  FIRST SAT OF APRIL  THE OTHER A WEEK LATER.

 

ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS IF YOU KNOW YOUR BIRDS ARE NOT READY THEN

DONT SEND THEM,  

HAVE MANAGED TO GET IN ENOUGH TRAINING DOWN HERE READY FOR AN

OPEN RACE THIS COMMING WEEKEND,

BUT IF THE WEATHER IS NOT RIGHT THEN THEY WILL NOT GO.
