BURTON & SOUTH DERBYSHIRE FEDERATION.

 

DIFFICULT RACE OUT OF HULLAVINGTON (1) FOR OUR YOUNGSTERS, AS MR & MRS JIM WHITEHOUSE & FAMILY TAKE FIRST FED.

 

SATURDAY AUGUST 3RD SAW 80 MEMBERS ENTER 1731 BIRDS FOR THE FIRST OF TWO HULLAVINGTON RACES. THE BIRDS WERE LIBERATED AT 10-15 INTO A LIGHT S.E. WIND, SOME OF OUR YB’s HAD A DIFFICULT RACE ON WHAT SEEMED SUCH A GOOD DAY? ALYS DID SAY THE BIRDS LEFT THE LIBERATION SITE IMMEDIATELY WHICH SEEMED STRANGE WITH MANY OF THE CONVOY HAVING THEIR FIRST RACE? IT LOOKS LIKE THE EAST IN THE WIND, ALTHOUGH LIGHT, WAS ENOUGH TO PUSH EM OVER ON TO THE WEST SIDE, AND APPARENTLY THE LEADING BIRDS WERE SPOTTED SKY HIGH, SO IT LOOKS LIKE THEY GOT THEIR HEADS DOWN AND JUST KEPT GOING, WITH MANY REPORTED COMING BACK OUT OF THE NORTH. THERE WERE SOME GAPPY TIMES AND PLENTY OF EMPTY PERCHES AT CLOCK OPENING, ALTHOUGH AS IS THE CASE, SOME LOFTS REPORTED 100% RETURNS, AND MANY MORE CLOSE TO 100%, JUST THAT IT TOOK ALL DAY TO ACHIEVE THIS.
