East Coast Fed (Dublin) - Come back race this weekend, Gowran Park.
Not marking tomorrow night Friday for Gowran Park due to a poor weather forecast for Saturday. Next update tomorrow evening.

Hi Everyone

I am forwarding you all an email received from our race controller

Basically what he is recommending is we will not race mark to morrow Friday for a Saturday race, he will update us all Friday night regarding race marking SATURDAY for A SUNDAY RACE this looks unlikely. He believes that racing will not take place until Monday/Tuesday of next week and he will keep us all updated
He and his team are recommending that our next race should be again Gowran Park as the following race is Fermoy and Fermoy 5 Bird.
Talbenny is scheduled to be flown on Saturday 4th September.

Hi Fred with the weather forecast ahead not showing good for the weekend and possibly Mon or Tues before we race I would suggest that we go to Gowran Park for the next race and then Fermoy with the close proximity to both races next week being very close while the forecast is for better weather coming in. Jim Ramsey.

Marking for the ISRF Skibbereen will NOT take place on Friday due to a poor weather forecast for Saturday. Next update Friday evening. Henry Byrne.

The EDC weather committee have decided the weather conditions forecast for Saturday are not suitable for a race from Mullangar next update will be Friday night.
