I thought 7hrs would be a good one so when I got my first bird in 6hrs 42mins I thought I had a good one, the cock bird I got first was 4th club from Hexham last year and 3rd Club from Perth, my 2nd bird turned up about 20minutes later, he was 2nd club for me from Perth last year.
I don't think their can have been much strength in the wind with the speeds that some of the birds were doing !! Returns were patchy and clearly some broke away from the rest very early in the race. I had 7/18 when I went to the club and another 3 when I got home at half 9, so have 10/18 now. I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't do better and that I'm so many birds still out, never mind, onwards and upwards

This is our Club result, well done again to Danny Porter, it looks like he'll be 4th Federation, we won't know the combine result for a week or two.

This is how my birds came.
Hopefully I'll get a few more home tomorrow

I believe the lnrc was 1580
East Yorkshire 65mph
All from Berwick
Makes me think that the nrcc might be an issue to here for me .The further they go seems the slower they got
Wont know to next year now moved my best 3 cocks to the stock I can’t do the peregrines anymore I only hope my ybs get a chance
Big cull in a hour that’s them done for the year
The Solent Fed are who went with to Hexham, along with the Dorset Fed so looks like they will beat us then !!NeilA wrote: ↑Sun Jun 09, 2024 8:47 amSolent fed were 1500 I believe and big 1400Anthony webster wrote: ↑Sun Jun 09, 2024 5:11 am North Rd lads here from Berwick was doing 61mph yesterday it's mad how on South yesterday n North there's 300ypm difference in velocity everywhere

Do you mean you'd consider joining the NRCC then Neil ?? I used to enjoy racing with them back in the 90s !!
Have your club finished Old birds for this year or have you just had enough ??
I do feel for you with these hawk attacks, I have awful trouble round home with the Sparrow hawk but at least that is seasonal and not all year !!
