Secretary’s Weekly Report

Very quiet week as we start to prepare for the Blue Riband race from Tarbes on Friday 22nd July.

Birds will be collected at the Sportsman on Monday night and transported to Sheffield for basketing early next morning.

For those who are sending remember entry forms must be with the Secretary Sid Barkel today. Let’s hope that we get some decent weather and a fair crack at this event. Remember midday or afternoon liberations are not unusual in these marathon events.

Best of luck to everyone competing.
