BIRMINGHAM GOLD RING ONE LOFT RACE
up date 14.7.1010.
with only two weeks to go before the first gold ring race from wakefield the training is going to plan but unfortunately there are five a.w.o.l. from the loft at the time of writing these notes so lets hope they return or get reported. what i would like to say to anyone reading these notes if they do have a young bird come in with a orange leg ring with an 1021 birmingham number plus a r.p.r.a. life ring with a prefix 1 to 60 please phone the number to report it and i will make certain that the bird will be collected. thank you in anticipation - grahame
