Could it be possible to make decisions on Thursday evenings as to whether the birds are going or not so fanciers who are working on Fridays can prepare. It's not nice when feeding up etc on Friday mornings only to find out that they're not going and adjustments can't be made.

Birds going today vote was 2 to 1 ,Stephen was against

Pick up times are same as previous races

Alan Brown

Yes we raced on Thursday this week.
Due to bad forcast our weather man advised race on Thursday.
