[Whats it called Cumbernauld]

Frustrating but there must be something they dont like

[blucock]

Yes they don't like the South East and East coast boys no being in from work after the doos come so they're holding and f the North and West fanciers who can wait til dark ......???

A wee bit of information goes a long way or is it the secret service tell the folk that own the doos nothing

[johnc]

some people dont check the weather at race point they just see sun 400 miles away at their house and think every where is the same

100 percent correct and thats not just the novices lol

[peter pandy]

Weather radar for Maidstone "TOTAL CLOUDCOVER" looks like another holdover.

Its on the website update after 10. Its fairly obvious conditions are not right at Maidstone or they would have been up by now

Hows the disco's Kenny?Heard you're getting good at the irish jig.

[blucock]

Good to know - amazing that all the classic clubs have libbed over the channel to fly into bad weather - frustration getting the better of me.

 

We know you'll do best by the birds Kenny

you are right but not in my case- of course the weather on the ground is different from what the forecast and current maps say. That is the source of my comment (only speaking for myself) but now Kenny has been on good to know - it could have been other reasons (ie large batches overhead/in the area)

 

Thanks for the info

Kenny, tell the other 2 drivers that the Geraldys are primed and ready for the Alencon race tomorrow night, well that is if you dont get back up the road on time....lol

 

Keep slapping on the factor 30

[Guest IB]

Post put in old thread while I was closing it, copied here.

 

 

its low black cload cover at maidstone, why didnt the snfc have a plan B. the rest of the country is good. i.e. move up the road a bit and get a liberation or even over to eastbourne been sunny and broken cloud the all morning. i know its easier said than done but pre plans

[geordie1234]

Nae chance for me getting off tomorrow so if we don't go up today I'm goosed

[blucock]

Have to wait out now, Ypres plans up the spout for many if we don't get a lib. After last year I don't think anyone will be moving birds anywhere. Can't do right for doing wrong with fanciers. I am champing about birds no being up, another wants them moving and others want transporters back ASAP.

 

Who would be a convoyer?! At the end of the day when we all calm it, the lads there on the ground know whats best for the birds and how conditions are at lib. Look at the other lot, went on Friday and I heard the winner walked it hame

 

Those boys deserve a or two the night that's for sure. Apologies for my earlier rant Kenny

At the marking station last Thursday most were aware that if we did not get a race on Sat, then it could be Tuesday before conditions became favourable.

 

Think its just as frustrating for guys that are down there,so lets all wait and see what the back of 10 brings

[blucock]

further update at 11am

[johnc]

met office says south east full cloud cover all day, beautiful day tomorrow all day sunshine everywhere very light nw wind

[blucock]

somebody's after a tuesday lib

 

the orgs over the channel are all away from 630 onwards so the SE must be forecast fine for now-ish and later ..

[geordie1234]

Just a pity the bad weather is hanging around Maidstone let's hope in changes and we get a race today
