ROB HORTON GOES NAP OUT OF FROME.

SATURDAY AUGUST 25TH SAW 96 MEMBERS SEND 1579 BIRDS TO FROME; THE BIRDS WERE LIBERATED AT 09-45 INTO A W.N.W. WIND. THE BIRDS MADE LIGHT WORK OF THE JOURNEY HOME, BUT THERE WERE SOME HEAVY SHOWERS AROUND THE TAMWORTH AREA WHEN THE LEADING BIRDS WENT THROUGH. I WENT TO OXFORD TO WATCH THE ALBION PERFORM, AND WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THE BASSETTS POLE AREA ABOUT 12-25 THE ROADS WERE AWASH, BUT IT WASN’T RAINING, SO THE RAIN COULDN’T HAVE STOPPED LONG BEFORE THEN?                                           

 

CONGRATULATIONS TO ROB HORTON OF BIRCH COPPICE, ROB TOOK THE TOP FIVE POSITIONS IN THE FED WITH HIS VAN DEN BULKS, ON 1483 (2); 1481 (2); AND 1480; THEN ADDED ANOTHER IN 7TH SPOT ON 1464. THE WINNER WAS A MEALY PIED HEN, FOLLOWED BY A BLUE PIED COCK THEN A RED HEN.  THIS WILL GIVE ROB A BOOST; HE HASN’T BEEN TOO WELL LATELY HEALTHWISE.
