Good luck guys and well done for having a go. It is good to see organisations thinking out of the box.

[blaz]

thinking out the box the club that runs this danderhall is so organized .it,s members get birds put through for race clocks done birds looked after overnight then down to race point with no fuss. also result printed out with velocity pools and prizes with in only a few hours after race.their a credit to racing.

[blaz]

race now only a week away .looking at the long range forcast it,s for a very fast race with a 14 to 28mph SSW wind behind them. it could turn out to be a trapping race.with the fanciers with ETS having the birds clocked in a few seconds quicker than fanciers with manual clocks.

those who have put in the work have fitter birds

so headwind or tailwind the fitter birds will/should have the upper hand

 

best keep an eye out andy as your white ghosts will be hard to see in a snowstorm

[Pigeon Thos]

You don't need luck Andy - just ask Seona to have a word in their ear - I'm sure it works with you.

It will be a cold one but best of luck to you and all others brave enough to have a go.

[BERTIE B]

Hope the weather warms up a bit for you guys racing this weekend or it could be another very stiff race

sending "plodders" ,thought they would do better if snow or heavy frost was around . forecast is now 5-7 degrees with a strong South-West wind

[blaz]

? strong South/South West ,and your on the East ? surely thats GOOD for you ,and why would those who havent "done a lot with birds" fair better than you Blaz ??

 

south in the wind does not suit my birds .also if birds not done a lot of work the the south in the wind would help them out. looking at the weather for race now it will be a tough race .with a WSWwind at the home end 25 to 40 mph with 99% cloud cover rain and some mist.
