sapper756 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 At the marking station there was quite a bit of discussion regarding when the SNFC Eastbourne birds will be liberated, some said Saturday, while the majority reckoned it would be a Sunday liberation, and others felt that they may be held till Mondayhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif What do you think?http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/scotland.gifhttp://www.snfc.co.uk/SNFC.jpg THANK YOUhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/scotland.gif
tyson Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 at the moment saturday looks a definite no no a possible chance sunday but forcast changing all the time heres hoping it changes for the better
Guest spin cycle Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 they should hold as long as it takes....and believe me don't grumble if they do. our nrcc 'conveyor' liberated the fraserburgh pigeons last sat despite forecasts of rain moving in and blocking the way home. returns are reported at 50% (according to nrcc)....amongst the fancy it is put at nearer 30%. it would not be unreasonable IMO to speculate that perhaps 1000 birds are dead.

Eased off about 17:00 for an hour then started again. It wasn't that heavy most of the time but wet none the less.
Pompey Mick Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 There are very strong Westerly winds forecast for Friday & Saturday along the South Coast. This is a very good weathersitehttp://www.myweather2.com/streamline/player.aspx?Streamline=2

sapper756 Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Posted June 18, 2011 Just watched the BBC weather forecast for Sunday, although the South and Mid England are expected to have a good sunny day with high temperatures, it also showed a band o f heavy rain right across the North of England and South of Scotland, all dayhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif Will they take the chance and liberate knowing this?, as the early part of next week, does not look too goodhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0156-rain.gif I know that the weather changeshttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/egyptian.gif
Delboy Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 Got to agree on your Lib prediction Big Yin. Guid Luck. weather sh ite for Sunday now, they might have to bring them back with this *expletive removed* weather we are getting
Guest Gareth Rankin Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 This band of rain on Sunday looks to be moving east, dying away by the evening time so hopefully we will get a lib tomorrow, even if that means a later liberation than normal for a race of approx 400 miles.Monday looks like there will be a weather front chasing them up the country but with Southerly winds forcast we should get some sort of a liberation within the next 2 days.

You could race on a Sunday morning and only if it was nice n sunny with a little East in the wind. If the weather turned nasty with a bit of a Westerly you would have the option to bring them back to Harthill. Anyone else interested in this kind of forward looking and progresive club please contact Big-Gub@pigeonbasics.org by PM.
