The Solway Federation (82/848) was down at Lymm on Saturday 14th June, liberated at 09.45am into a very light North-West wind. Velocities this week were down into the 1300s with only three birds managing this and the rest were in the 1200s.

Once again Tommy Linden also Springfield takes 2nd and 3rd Open, 2nd and 3rd Club doing 1321 and 1320.

D Nordon of Langholm (who’s racing really well at the moment) takes 5th Open Federation on 1275.
