Pigeons would not be able to achieve such peak performances as the two of Gribben, Heath and Emmerson unless they had been very well cared for in the hot conditions at Tours on Thursday. My own bird this morning looks a little bit tired but is otherwise in fine fettle. Well done and thank you.
As Tours birds have been liberated the intention is to fly the Classic on Sunday
The weather committee will decide in the morning and if they go pick up times will be Saturday afternoon as previously posted and sent to Federation Secretaries
Well this morning i woke to thunder and rain and decided to leave my birds at home ,but 4 of our 10 members braved the elements and put their birds on---brave or fool hardy---what do you think?
Well the birds were liberated in a south east wind at 13 .30 thats half one to us old timers.
Average distance to most flyers is 86 to 87 miles
well the first bird clocked 15 .04.53 correct time---1613ypm
