IT MEANS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE WHEN IT COMES YOUR WAY, AND ROB PEARSON CERTAINLY DID THAT FROM HULLAVINGTON (1) WHERE 108 MEMBERS SENT 2227 BIRDS WHICH WERE LIBERATED ON SATURDAY AUGUST 9TH AT 09-00 IN A WEST SOUTH WEST WIND, WHICH GOT STRONGER AS THE DAY WENT ON.

ROB HORTON TAKES THE TOP NINE FROM HULLAVINGTON (2)
SATURDAY AUGUST 16TH SAW OUR BIRDS AT HULLAVINGTON (2) WHEN 2514 ENTERED BY 120 MEMBERS WERE RELEASED AT 09-00 INTO A DEAD WEST WIND. ONCE AGAIN THE EAST SIDE DOMINATED.
A FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE BY ROB HORTON OF THE BELGRAVE CLUB IN TAMWORTH SAW HIM TAKE THE TOP NINE POSITIONS ON 1643. 1642. 1639 (3). 1638 (2). 1637. AND 1636. ROB TIMED HIS 9 BIRDS IN 19 SECONDS. NO DETAILS ON THESE, BUT I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT ROB HAS HAD SOME NEW BLOOD IN FROM RON HILLCOAT?
IN WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE A TWO LOFT RACE, ROB PEARSON OF THE BULLS HEAD CLUB TOOK THE REMAINING 11 PRIZES IN THE TOP TWENTY, RANGING FROM 1633 TO 1628, TIMIMG THE 11 BIRDS IN 19 SECONDS.
WHAT IS AMAZING IS THAT THESE LOFTS ARE 29 MILES APART, BEING ONE OF THE SHORTEST AND LONGEST FLYING LOFTS IN THE FED. BUT, THERE WAS NOTHING GOOD ENOUGH IN BETWEEN, JUST PROVING THAT IT IS SOLELY DOWN TO TWO FIT. HEALTHY TEAMS MANAGED AND RACED BY TWO TOP FLIERS.
I DON’T THINK I HAVE EVER SEEN A RERSULT IN OUR FEDERATION QUITE LIKE THIS ONE IN ALL THE YEARS I HAVE BEEN SCRIBING, THEN AGAIN THIS WOULDN’T HAVE OCCURRED WITHOUT THE ETS, BECAUSE I DON’T BELIEVE FANCIERS WOULD BE TIMIMG THAT AMOUNT OF BIRDS IN MANUALY?
