Nehu Folkestone Open Race

[REDCHEQHEN]

It is the NEHU Open from Folkestone this Saturday (weather permitting)

 

The Up North Combine, New North Amalgamation. Durham Combine and the West Durham Amalgamation all up together - the weather is very iffy up here, but seems OK in the South, so it's anybodies guess as to whether the birds will be liberated early tomorrow - or heldover until Monday

 

Anybody like to have a wild guess as to how many birds in total there will be. I'd guess around the 27,000 mark - I don't think there will be as many as previous years

the birdage was low last year as the UNC held over until the Monday from Rivenhall the weekend before Folkestone and got a tough fly into a head wind.

Also all the organisations that raced on the Saturday had a tough race, the WDA & DC marked as booked on the Thursday with a 90% chance of a holdover which affected their birdage

theres 23,000 birds away in the UNC our sec been on phone to stevie proffit
