24/4/10 week three @ chepstow

8 members sent 146 birds

libed @9.40 in a light east wind ???

Before this weeks result im going to stick out my neck and say the wind when libed might be right but on route the must have been some south in it with vel’s a cross the country in the 1.700…almost a mile a minuite….

This week’s result:

  • 1st club Newsome family clocking last weeks winner 08 cock on widowhood with a vel of  1.680
  • 2nd club K&K Rowland flying a 08 cock on widohood,Keath is still doing well after at the sad loss if his dad Ken…
  • 3rd club K&K Rowland flying another 2008 cock on widowhood..
  • 4th club A&W Shortridge flying a 2007 cock Adrin is doing well this year with a good team of Gaby’s..

With the vel’s up there most people will agree the wind must have had some south in it or the first 4 birds fast ?

Let see what happens next week its been good racing with people coming to the front everweek and thats how we like it,It just keeps everyone on there toe’s….a few old pic’s below:
