I did Rab.

I had earmarked 5 for the race, but one hen returned hawked from the Arbroath prep race, a second hen laid Wednesday and my third hen is too close to laying to send. In a way mis-management, but as you are aware with my set-up, any management is difficult.

The two cocks have been sent, both feeding big YB's with one hen imminent to lay, thus unable to send her and the others hen not far away from laying either.

We might be lucky for a Saturday race, but it is more looking like a Sunday liberation early doors.

Thurso pigeons held-over.

Seems I may have been correct with the date.

Aye Walter.

Who would be a controller? Apparently the wind was too strong, so they held over. The East coast was clear and looked to be ok, but the wind was their concern. I don't know what it was like up there, but it seemed ok here, but they have to make their judgement.

NRCC held because of the rain in Scotland.
