view from the secretary 

With a good turn out for Dunbar from the Norfolk & Suffolk area, 865 birds was a fair turn out for Bubwith 3 Released at 7.30 into a light North West Wind birds made good with the leading birds travelling across Norwich Flegg and down into Lowestoft.

Neil Haynes takes the top spot at Horsford vel 1787 flying over 35 miles further Bobby Saunders down in Fish & Chip country wins Ness Point vel 1775 back at Horsford its Wood& Batch 1772 while Norfolk inv has Robin Bygrave on 1771 followed closely behind by club mate Franni Peruzzi 1771,1771. Woods & Batch take next 5 places. A Fiorentini wins Flegg club for the second time 1760 with Barry Harrison close on his tail 1760 no other clubs made the result.

Returns were good

 next week Darlington looks like you may need your sun cream but wind still with a westerly flow    

As a backup could Secretarys obtain distances for ACKWORTH 4257 its a new site this year so we may well give it a try at some point at the same time get CAYTHORPE 4255
