The federation cancelled last weekends racing due to the bad weather. A terrible decision in my opinion, they are now going for a race on Tuesday from an unknown location, so we have to basket our birds on Monday and the driver will then inform us where they are going , this is after we have basketed the birds.

We are sending 2 to the NFC Fougeres this weekend, 05 cheq pied hen and 98 cheq cock. We are also sending 15 to the federation race from littlehampton.
We have had great success racing int he classics over the past 4 weeks, Last weekend we were provisionally 17th open BBC Messac and 4th ,5th open Falaise with the BICC.
we also finished 4th club from Bedhampton from 187 club birds sent. We got 22 from 22 sent but could not get near the south racers due to the wind. A big well done to Stan Fender on winning this week, a super bird.
We finished 17th and 18th open in the BICC from 1353 birds sent, Very pleased with only sending 7 birds.
We finished 1st,2nd section C and 5th, 6th open BBC from Carentan last week, we are over the moon and would like to thank all the friends from all over the country for texting and calling with messages.
Many thanks to Andy Haydn for breeding the hen for us. Birds are at Salisbury - we sent 22 which are a mixture of Widowhood hens and cocks and natural birds. North east winds will not help us in any way but this is a prep race for the classic races next week.
ant A very tough race was had by all in the club and federation. Lets hope we can learn from this race and not throw our birds away in the future. We are still 14 missing from last weeks race.
We have sent 46 birds to this race. 21 widowhood cocks, 10 widowhood hens and 15 naturals.
9 Members sent 190 birds. Birds have been worked very hard this week and we hope they are on form for the weekends race from Salisbury, the race is 96 miles to us and the forecast is a strong west wind. This race will blow the cobwebs away and prepare them for the BICC and BBC the following week.
