why not,the longer race niort will see less than 20% of the membership racing with ypres being very popular and will be supported by a large part of the members,great programme snfc racing from 300,400 450 550 and 670 into central scotland,something for everyone. :partick-thistle-Crest: :partick-thistle-Crest:

Convoyers felt wind could adversely affect the liberation at Eastbourne due to its height. Race was held over 2011 because of that.

 

 

aye then a delayed lib next day, obvious it had to go!

KENNY YOUNG WHO WAS 1 OF THE CONVOYERS THAT DAY STOOD UP AND GAVE HIS VIEW OF THE RACEPOINT AND THOUGHT IT WAS A BIT ON THE HIGH SIDE AND OPEN TO THE WIND...HE WAS SITTING JUST ACROSS FROM ME IN THE MEETING AND TOLD THE HALL WHAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT IT

Having not been unable to attend the meeting today because of health ,was any other proposals put forward against maidstone ,with the lanarkshire ,midland and solway all racing west would have thought something more central like the portsmouth area would have been proposed maybe it was ? after being liberated from maidstone which is well inland and in proximity to london any west birds with a chance of winning and breaking for a true line will find themselves flying over central london and in the flight path of london airport if they go with the drag and dont break by leicester they have then to cross country further up from scotch corner to the border region meaning thats dead flying time and the winners are in there dookits while the rest are playing catch up :emoticon-0138-thinking:

Well John, with nearly a 1000 birds away from the west in 2011 you'll never get a better chance as my winner came high from the South West on a day when I expected a West Sect win, couldnae believe they were an hour behind me.
