Burton S D Fed 04-06-18

BURTON & SOUTH DERBYSHIRE FEDERATION.

MR & MRS ALAN STRETTON TOP FED IN TESTING CARENTAN SPECIAL RACE.

May 26th was the first special race of 2018, members sent birds to Carentan. They were liberated at 12-50 in a N.W. wind, which was very strong here in the uk. It was no surprise with the late liberation and the strong head wind, that there were plenty of empty perches at nightfall and there was a good 35 minutes covering the top 10 positions!! On the positive side, I’ve heard there were a lot of returns on the Sunday?  

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Alan Stretton of Newhall in South Derbyshire, their winner at Swadlincote town taking 1st fed on 1187. Their 4yo hen out of a Louis Thijs Hereman Cuester cock when paired to a Les Green hen out of “Sirius” a son off “The Merlin Pair” was pooled to win £171-10, well done Alan, great performance.

Doug Nesbitt & Sons make it back to back fed wins in a testing Frome race.

Saturday May 26th saw 95 members enter 1461 birds for the Frome (2) race, it was a waiting game for our race advisor Alan Smith and convoyer alys, but their patience paid off and the birds were eventually liberated at 2-00 in a strong ENE wind. We were going to liberate at 1-45 but a peregrine decided to make an appearance at the liberation site!!

 I’d like to thank Alan Smith for carrying out his race advisor duties whilst poorly, on the Friday it looked likely Alan would be unable to carry out his duties, he was that ill, so thanks Alan for making the effort.
