NORFOLK & SUFFOLK with Trevor (White Feather) Harris My racing My young birds have now been fully trained and I look forward to the first race. I will be sending all 62 to the first race as they are fully trained and I am sure I will not lose any. Many fanciers split their team up. I have never done this and all my birds will go to every race. There are still fanciers who don’t train and expect the other birds to carry them home. Any fancier who does this has only them self to blame for losses but I am sure they will be blaming everybody else. Please report my strays. If you want them you can, otherwise I will get them back. I will report all strays in my loft as I believe it is our duty if we want to come a cross as a caring sport. Fanciers who don’t report strays are in the wrong. Mid Suffolk South Rd RPC Eastbourne 9 members sent 146 birds. The top flyer again took the top seven positions namely B&R Long & Cox of Gipping who have had an excellent season. Vels 1569,1564,1559,1557,1555,1552,1552,1546, Oulton Broad By Paul Aldred "Oulton Broad NR had their latest race on the 14 July from Boston, about 82 miles to most lofts, with 6/66 which were liberated at 8:30 into a west wind.

Hope you had a good weekend racing, though I suppose that the "Bird Flu" outbreak in France must have been a sickened, with the channel racing being kicked into touch again!!
