Next week’s race is due to be flown from Corrin Code 6029 this new race-point is just south of Fermoy and we are liberating there as we are unable to access the Irish Army camp at Fermoy on this occasion as the range is being used for training purposes on that particular weekend . Would all clubs ensure that they have measurements for this race-point and also ensure that they have measurements for the new Bude Code 6028 and also Portlaoise Code 6030.
Don’t forget to place your club result on http://www.pigeonnetwork.com and a photo of all 1st Sect winners would be required for press release. There is a Result Board for most clubs in Ireland, except a handful of new ones, most have also a photo feature of one photo placed per result, and a bit of detail or short report. Any queries contact Homer.

Rasharkin Lofts best in Mid Antrim -
Rasharkin & Dist lofts filled the top places in the recent race from Roscrea in County Tipperary. Due to a poor forecast for the weekend the NIPA decided to mark the birds one day earlier and the race was flown on Friday with liberation at Noon in a Lt Easterly wind. William McFetridge was best recording velocity 1411 ahead of three birds for Danny Dixon. W & J Smyth were best in Ballymena timing their Blue Ch Pied cock at 15.04hrs to record velocity 1398 for the 146 miles, the entry of almost 500 birds in Ballymena & Dist was the best for several years.
Cullybackey Centre – That time of the year again, we have the marking arrangements for the NIPA Rosscarbery Inl Nat. Cullybackey HPS Clubrooms will be open on Wednesday 13 th May between 8.30pm and 9.30pm to lift all the entry cheques from the local clubs. Birds will be race marked in Cullybackey on Friday 15 th May between 2.00pm and 4.30pm, clocks will be ready after transporter leaves. Local lofts liberating birds at Clinty Road should take care not to block lanes and entry to houses.
