with Ray on board we had eventless ride over to Cockfield for centre set /sunny skies / clear visibility for miles / returning home clouds had filled in ,rain some of way home , birds marked , lads loading wagon as we left .
55 birds , 5 lofts ....... 6 lofts not sending ??? all will have there own reason s. Frustratingly all 6 voted to stop new members joining ,?? with novice James been accepted at reconvened AGM , but still not sent with us .
Anyhow cracking race was anticipated , & to be honest returns were great , little of the pace of the top end .
Birds in fine fettle on return . last at Scooby lofts ,smashed up with secondaries missing , he,ll miss last two races .
transport lads had em away later than we expected at 08.00am
no wind on site / SW on route , picking up more west than owt,
back to top of sheet !!
