Birds have recovered well from their exertions on Monday. They exercised well this morning and most are back to their best. All pigeons will be assessed the day before the next Hotspot and those that are not deemed fit will not participate in Hotspot 3. If these youngsters are sent in an unfit state won’t preform and worst case scenario, get lost. They will train and compete when fully recovered.

Hotspot 3 from Mullingar is going ahead tomorrow . Sean hopes to liberate around 9am weather permitting.
Important information - Could everyone use the Car parking facilities at the Earl Morrison Hall at the north side at bottom of the lane. It's important that no one parks out on the lane as our landlord needs full access to his property. Anyone with walking difficulties can be dropped off up at the lofts.
Good luck to all competing and fingers crossed for a successful Hotspot.
Note to all those that are pooling, remember that pools close at 10pm tonight.
