I meant marking for the NRCC Andy !!!

I don’t think I’d be in their radius. Nearest marking station would be either Nottingham or Cambridge. Both about 140 miles from me lol.

Hmmm a little bit of a trek then Andy lol

It would just about be as easy just to drive them to the race point.

Seems your got it harder over there mate ,what do you need to do in getting a market station closer to you ,surly the brains trust over there will help out if it’s going to get more fanciers racing ,

As far as the nationals are concerned they do have various marking stations across the country, that was up until this year with channel racing. For channel racing at present under new EU rules vets are required to be present at every marking station at a cost of around £500 per station. So the national clubs are now only having one or two which then obviously involves a lot of travelling and time for most members. For North road racing this is not a requirement so more marking stations are available for the clubs going North. The CSCFC have a marking station at Frome market, which for me is about 40 minutes away.
The NRCC are predominantly a East side of the country club so no marking stations over my side of the country. Of course a lot is dependent on the time it would take to transport birds around the country.
