NIPA Mid Week Race Update 08.08.2021
I have received by far the majority of club`s decision to compete on Tuesday weather permitting. A large majority agree the race point for Tuesday be Roscrea followed by Gowran the following Saturday then on to Fermoy finishing the programme one week later on approx. 18th September 2021. At the moment the forecast for the rest of the week gives Thursday to be the best day with another low in charge for next weekend Tuesday to be dull and dry. As you are well aware this all could change. As soon as I have further information from your race controller and transport manager I will update the web site. Fred.

NIPA Update 17.50hrs - Hi EVERYONE - ALL ARANGEMENTS HAVE NOW BEEN MADE FOR A PIGEON RACE TO TAKE PLACE ON TUESDAY 10TH AUGUST 2021 FROM ROSCREA.

WEATHER FORECASTS RECEIVED TO-DAY ARE VERY GOOD AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS TO BE A VERY GOOD DAY AS SOON AS I RECEIVE THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IT WILL BE PUBLISHED ON SITE. I BELIEVE THE KEY BOARD WARRIORS ARE AT IT AGAIN PROMOTING THE RACE WOULD BE THURSDAY, THAT IS AS USUAL INCORRECT

PLEASE DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU SEE POSTED UNLESS IT IS ON YOUR OFFICIAL NIPA WEBSITE.

COLLECTION TIMES ARE BACK TO NORMAL YOUR TRANSPORTER WILL COLLECT YOUR PIGEONS AT THE USUAL TIMES IF ANY CLUB HAS NOT INFORMED ME OF THEIR INTENTION TO SEND PIGEONS, A TRANSPORTER WILL NOT ARRIVE AT THEIR CLUBROOMS. Regards Fred.
