The third race of the season was scheduled to be our first Channel race of the season from Carentan. After the birds had been dispatched we were notified that due to the low birdage and poor weather forecast the race would be switched to Honiton near Seaton to hopefully get an early lib before the weather set in. Unfortunately the promised early slot of good weather never materialised and we were in for a long wait, the decision to holdover was made after a fruitless wait for an improvement in the diabolical weather conditions. It was hoped for a lib late on Sunday but once again the weather refused to improve so the birds were held until Monday. Monday dawned no better but at least there was hope as better weather was forecast, the weather in the Portsmouth/Southampton area was indeed good but persistent rain and low cloud at the racepoint forced the transport to be moved to Kingsdown where a liberation was effected at 13.00 into a fresh SE wind, all this for a 90ml race. However all these shenanigans had no effect on the in-form loft of Bryce & Lloyd Scutt who recorded their hat-trick of wins doing 1146ypm plus 4th position as well, hot on their heels for the third time were the widowers of Barry Robertson who took 2nd & 3rd on 1124 & 1123ypm. Filling the top six positions were Pete Nightingale on 5th & John & Tom Austin coming in 6th with their first race of the season.

Barry Robertson wins £40.00 pools and Cyril Hallett (CHEF) wins £14.00 pools Chris & Danny Willett & Gsons win the £10.00 side bet, a nice £70.00. All in all good returns despite all the problems.
