The Partnership of Packer & Clarke wiiners at the weekend from Alecon
Strong south west winds were the order of the day but the birds cleared well, and taking top honors and 1st NE Section are Packer & Clarke of Grays doing 1879ypm this a Blue Cheq Busschaert x Jan Aarden 05 hen on roundabout system it was also 32nd open Bergerac in 2008 they have a 50ft x 8ft loft sectioned feed Bamfords widowhood express have 65 racers and bred about 65 young birds which are not put on the darkness, as I have forgotten the partners names I will call them Mr as they are brothers, Mr Packer does the racing side and Mr Clarke does the breeding at Braintree where Fritz the dog is always waiting for someone to enter the field so he can have his dinner, so if you go there DON’T go into the field without permission, or you will be his next feed.

Well Done to all the fanciers, and lets hope its our turn to win next. I have just been told that about 20 more applications have been received to join the Classic Club, lets hope it continues. I would also like to congratulate the Secretaries on the Presentation of the race book this year, and also our new Convoyer Fred Healy well done to you all.
