LANARKSHIRE FEDERATION
Tom Corrie jnr
Wetherby Race - 22/5/16
This week?s race point Wetherby's origins are as a staging post through the centuries for travellers between London and Edinburgh. Now it has developed into a busy market town, but still retains its Thursday Market, granted by Royal Charter in 1240.
Wetherby is 12 miles from Leeds, 12 miles from York and 8 from Harrogate.
.
This is a rescheduled race point due to the unavailability of the original race point due to the 24hr delay to marking due to weather forecast.
Well done to the race controller for his decision as returns were recorded as the best throughout the season. We welcomed the joint liberation of the Ayrshire federation and hope they enjoyed their experience.
The convoy of 6.500 birds were away early at 0700hrs in a light west south west wind and the birds raced up into Lanarkshire, with the winners recording well up in the 1300s for the 170 mile race.
Up for his second federation winner is Jim Hannah of the Greenfield club in Hamilton area. Jim has had a brilliant start to the season and his federation consistency is up there with the best.
Well done Jim another federation winner to take a photo.
Jim Hannah (L) tops the federation for the second time this year,brilliant flying Jim
