Following on from the decision to delay the race by 24 hours the emergency committee have been discussing the situation , by 4 votes to 1 they have decided to change the Racepoint to Huntingdon in view of the fact that the birds are due to go away again on Thursday for the Eastbourne National , if we decide to delay next weekends race that means we then do not compete for the NEHU open .

What happens now if birds go for Sunday in a northeast wind is something going to change to basketing Thursday or any changes can see birdage being right down lads not good economically. If other organisation hadn't unanimously voted to go well fair enough. It's just put the whole WDA at a massive disadvantage for the NEHU CLASSIC

Race is delayed by 24 hours vote was 2 to 1 , Martin voted to go

Will send out message later this morning about pick up times

Well the sun came out for us today and the race was expected to be a good one.
it turned out that the weather would split the birds up,very much like saturday,s race---so the east wind played a great part in the result and next saturday will i think be a stinker if the forcast is right.
anyway back to the result.
