Following statements made on social media and telephone calls made to officials I would like to state the following

Just behind where the video was taken is a large oak tree that is why 1 wagon was parked where it was,this happens each time we use this area which can be seen on previous videos

Absolutely no birds were injured and hit the ground during the liberation.

Fri 7.45 rang Martin ,Alan rang Stephen vote was 3 to 0 to go although there was a chance of showers at Leicester from 12 noon

5pm arrived at yard picked up Crook , Cockfield and Darlington Feds arriving at Barton for 9.15

Left Barton at 10.30 with 3 wagons and 1 trailer ,on route I checked weather forecast and it had changed to heavy rain at Leicester by 8.00 am ,rang Alan and Brian to explain that Saturday morning was only chance of a race as forecast was poor for rest of Saturday and Sunday

Took the decision to go to Newark with a good forecast
