I will be adding all races and conditions and birds sent,, then the results..
So look back for our races for 2009.
South road..10th april - basketted 30 birds for the south road club from Wincanton. We have sent 17 hens and 13 cocks. About 14 of these birds are having their first ever race, they have been trained very well but this is their first time on the transporter. Fingers crossed for a good race. I will post their performance on the 11th..
Result - we were 4th and 5th and are very pleased as the birds came from the south and this is a huge dissadvantage to us.The first bird is a cock we call the unknown as his parents are a mystery and the second bird back was a van reet who has not raced for 3 years. Our returns are very good ,29 home from 30 sent. 109 birds were sent in the club.
19th april - This week we sent to 2 races, SALISBURY (32) with the south road club and SWINDON (17) with the south east club, the wind is our worst wind this week as we are the most northerly flyers in both clubs.. It was 17mph north east at the race point and 5mph north east at home,, but the birds came well. We don't expect to gain any cards but we are very happy with the birds performance against a north east wind. returns are good with only 5 behind from 49 at 3pm.. I will post the positions gained later but not holding any hope of winning..
Result - We were 15th in the south club and congrats must go to dai welly for a very good winner, also to fishlock and roberts for a second to add to last weeks winner..
We were lucky enough to win the east club from 185 birds. so very pleased. we finished 1st and 2nd.The winner was a Janssen from our good friend Alun Maull. The wind has been against us for the first 2 weeks so fingers crossed for some south in it for next weekend.. have a good week.

The same hen came this week a wildy x van reet and she took the pools aswell.. so very pleased with the birds this week,, the wind was a strange one today but returns are very good..
We decided many weeks ago to only send to the east route when it is a federation race only, so from this 8/5/2009 week onwards we will not send as they are in the south east national and we are not members. We will send all the birds to the south club and some will also go to the BICC. We will in future concentrate our efforts on the south route but will send to a few east races as we are still members of a 2 bird club.
This week we have sent 34 to the south road club, this is to get the birds on line ready for the national and BICC next week. We sent 11 celibate hens,,15 widowhood cocks and 8 natural birds.. The birds are racing from southsea 133 miles to us. The wind is forecast for south west 6 to 12 mph..
result - very pleased how they come. We were fortunate enough to have 1st and 2nd club . 1st club went to number 12 a son of our dickie boy, 2nd club went to our 9 x 1st red cock herman x old lines number "74". We clocked at 14.25 and our returns are very good with 1 to come from 34 birds sent. Welldone to andrew and sharon price for 3rd club they had a very good bird today.
This week we have sent to the BICC for the first time. The weather is not great but we have sent 6 to see what the lines are made of. The 6 that have gone are mostly new lines here and this will test them and give us a pointer for future breeding. The birds have gone to ALENCON a distance of 287 Miles. The club has not decided if there will be a race. The wind is forecast as south 20 to 25mph. Not great for us but fingers crossed they get a line.
