After the weather we have had, the way the weather is now and looking at the forecast ahead, should we be looking at putting training and racing back?

Is it realistic to be expecting most people to have their birds fit to go for the start of the season and to have the transporter away twice next weekend, twice the weekend after that, then racing on the 7th?

Just wondering what folks thoughts are - it's something i'll be raising at our club meeting on Sunday.

Clive Wright
