A just noticed that aswell Sunday now looks the worse day out of the weekend

[walterboswell59]

race controllers have to take the forcast into consideration of course but still think you cant beat phoneing down the line of flight if pigeons get a good good start they will over come most weather with the exception of fog or mist where they cant see the line of flight or have to go to far to get round it or just cant get through it and have to go down to rest after flying up and down all day trying to find a way through jmo

[Dmurray]

A don't envey the controllers this week there stuck Inbetween a hard place

Walter I applaud any fed that try,s to consider the birds being in the basket any more than needed that's what many are doing this week end and some say the weather men never get it right but it's my opinion they get it right about 98% of the time the one hard part is if the the wind picks up or changes the time will be out and and many of us fanciers even thow wee think wee know better can't see that just sometime even the weather men aren't sure look at the winds for this w/e they can't tell if it's east or west

Believe that Monday is an option.

[VMS]

Can the drivers sit to monday there other jobs might prevent this

[walterboswell59]

maybe john quinn or gareth could tell us how long they will hold them before they are brought home or back up the road a bit dont know what the rules are on this and as i say could make a big difference in the birdage

I believe Davy has the option to delay basketing a further 24hrs until Sunday if required Wullie.

Thanks John

We are fortunate to have convoyer drivers that have a great deal of flexibility, Monday is the latest that the federation will look to have a race from Ingleton.

Ayrshire also postponed but Sunday is not a great option either at the moment.
