Following reports of peregrine attacks on race birds last Saturday about 5 miles north of Wakefield ,the emergency committee have met today and decided that we need to take some action .
We have agreed to move away from Wakefield this coming Saturday and we have booked 2 race points Wetherby and Thorsby Hall . I have sent a text to each federation asking which. Race point each fed wants to go to
We have made this choice available as Wetherby is only about 35 mile to our shorter flyers while Thorsby Hall is over 130 to the longer flyers
