With a helping wind the birds made excellent velocities this weekend. The E.D.C. were in Skibbereen for their Derby and Jim Young from the Dundonald Club had a great result clocking a very good Gaby Vandenabeele with a Vel 1785 Bird ring No. 10004 to win 5th Section and 5th Open winning our Hot Spot and collecting £50.

The N.I.P.A. was in Roscrea & the loft of Gerry Swift of the Monaghan Club clocked his Leo-Van-Rijn hen ring No. 10446 with a Vel 1748 to win 1st Club. This pigeon should feature well in Section E result & also the Open. Gerry wins 2nd Hot Spot & collects £30.

3rd Hot Spot goes to Jim Carson from Corcreeny Club. Jim had two of our birds on the same yard winning 1st & 2nd Club Vel 1741 Bird Ring No. 10601 and 10272. With these birds exactly on the same velocity, Viv says to give the man £20 for each bird so the Total is £40. I know, she is too kind!

Thanks to everyone who rang through their velocities this weekend & we look forward to hearing from you all again next week.
