I understand that there is a possibility that the Up North Combine may liberate mid morning on Friday , the WDA birds will NOT be liberated Friday ,as they won't be on site until about 10 am

is maidstone 2 hrs earlier or 4 ,if 4hrs some feds will need to
start marking at lunch time , lads will need to arrange time off
work.

Could an official please answer this question as myself and a few others no doubt will have to sort somthing with work sooner rather than later.

Thank you

Well all members sent,and a total of 79 birds were basketed.
our transport was asked to liberate as soon as birds had been watered on site,so birds were up at 14 .05.
sunshine all the way ,so returns were expected to be good---clocks were to be read 1 hour after clocking first bird.
at clocks only 49 birds were clocked from 79 sent and remember they were only at pontefract.
The Result--
1st 4th and 7th--Smith/Ovington-1340,1339 and 1339ypm
2nd and 9th--F Babak1340 and 1325ypm and first nom bird.
