clockman Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 News on website soon thanks to delboy for the info UPDATE by JAM UPDATE Due to the situation at Dover/Calais and difficulty in obtaining confirmation of ferries for next week the race from Ypres will now take place from Eastbourne. Race marking will take place tomorrow (Thursday 2nd July) as arranged. We have also had news from our contact Stefaan Van Moerbeke in Ypres who advised against a race from Ypres this weekend due to hot weather as it is 34 degrees in the shade and too hot for liberating birds to race.

Guest greegsy Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 The precedent for this scenario was set when bird flu hit in the earley 80's. They should have went to Hastings as happened then, it's not even 70mls short of Ypres and would have been an ideal substitute. To simply announce the race is postponed without a directive to members as to what WILL happen and WHEN is a clear indication the new committee have been found wanting when most needed.

ovy1255 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Dutch Union have declared a "code red" for heat in France for Saturday and all races marking put back 24 hours. Belgian Union have put back the Saturday yb races to Sunday and reduced number of pigeons per basket for old and bus as well. National pigeons due up Saturday are only 15 to a pannier as well. With it being Falaise National this week should the WDA be looking to reduce number per basket to give more space/oxygen per pigeon??? If the transporter has room it makes sense to leave the top rows empty for heat to rise and fill rest of racks with more baskets containing fewer pigeons.OFF ANOTHER SITEYour race controllers have heat -electrical storms and strikes to consider--in the n/east today we had wall to wall sunshine--hailstones flash downpours and thunder and lightning with strong wind.
