Ye must be looking at different forcasts than i was as the NORTH OF FRANCE was as clear as a bell at mid day and i cant believe you saying its for the good of the birds being cooped in crates in sweltering heat for an extra 24 hrs for the sake as you say being patient if 9am is being patient holding them over at 9am the sky dosent take four hours ta clear many a storm ive been in when i was at the trawling and flat calm in a hour , no john it was so the shortest flyers can get there birds on the shift so just have the guts ta say it ???

With the weather nowadays being so unpredictable and having more holdovers with longer in the baskets for the birds surely it must be passed at the agm that we get in line with other major organisations and demand 15-16 birds per basket ,try putting 20 doos in a section for 4-5days then clean them out and dump it in a wicker basket which they have to feed from and stay healthy to fly 500-600 miles home just cannot be achieved at present ,why 20 at present when plenty of room on the lorry .

Crystal ball says 5.30 lib into light N wind, cross channel at Le Havre (80 miles) reach landfall at Eastbourne after west wind in channel at 9.30. Wind across the birds all the way. Should be over Leicester/Peterborough at 12.30. Birds in Gretna at 17.45 winners into Ayton at 18.20 or Macmerry 19.00. Should be able to plan your Sunday tea now. Good luck to all. Birds will home in rain

Dont think Macmerry will get 40 mins from Ayton, but may be wrong, if so and I,m in at 19.02 I should win it lol

Well one way to sort is use a geraldy transporter but not sure if there is any available to use in Scotland that would be a huge step forward for the snfc

Some of you would burst ma head, armchair racecontrollers , it was stilll raining here at 12.30 , prob stopped about 13.00 ish never really started to clear up till after 14.00 . But there is always somebody that thinks They know better. Away and watch the tennis. As i said the other day were no sitting over here for the good of Our health.

Well done for clearing things up regarding the weather Kenny, I'm sure the majority of us realised that was the case anyway.

 

Maybe should put a proposal in for the AGM to basket everyones birds together that want them liberated in p!sh weather, so you are able to release them, just to keep them happy

 

Keep up the good work, fingers crossed for tomorrow

I refer ye to Kenny Youngs repprt. Clearly i was lookin at a more accurate report than you Walter but even at 2pm it was too late to lib. Guts is not something am short of and if a didnae care about the Notth birds i woild post it in CAPITAL letters but that's NOT true. I wish every section a good race every time and like yourself i need the weather to suit me to have any chance of winning anything, you need to iron that Chip out of yer shoulder its the same greetin match out of yoi EVERY race. Atb John

As far as am aware. The only club that had not heldover were the National Flying Club , as They were only flying about 250 miles . But not sûre if They went or not .

great idea Kenny, big Gareth should know this.

[andy]

I'm glad I'm no sitting outside waiting on ma Alencon doos the night in Edinburgh. Its dull, low cloud and darker than it was at half 10 the other night

[JohnQuinn]

How do you upload photo,s from yer phone on to à post

 

I would assume its the same as a laptop, that's if it can be done that is. Go down to the bottom of your reply box and click on "use full editor" it will then ask you to use a file (pic) click on "Choose File" go into yer pics and open the one you want to use. Remember to click on "attach this File" before you hit the Post button.

Clear as mud!!!
