Some notes from meeting

At times all organisations go through rough patches and the up north combine seem to be having their moment and everyone is getting blamed for bird losses .i am glad the W D A only seem to worry about the first 4 young bird races ,which seems to be the major topic each year.
As for the officials of the WDA i havent heard anyone wanting to get the hangmans rope out,but the durham combine seems to be fragmenting ,
But wherever clubs end up, the PInnacle in the North East for quite a few fanciers is the queens cup race ,not to race as an amal but open to the whole of the nehu.

Just a reminder loft books are available from Brian or myself for £2 each
