Friday 16/07/21

From East Coast Fed Secretary
The race from Tramore this weekend is cancelled, apologies for the late notice to members who intended to race this weekend. This decision was taking as I was talking to club secretaries this afternoon and impression is that there would be a very low entry of birds due to lack of training and severe heat forecast for the weekend. The decision was taken to postpone race.
