JOURNEY’S END - N.I.P.A NOTES – SECTIONS C, D, F, & G

Up next on the N.I.P.A. Race Programme was a trip further down the country to Roscrea in County Tipperary. The weather hasn’t been the best to us this past while and it therefore meant another Thursday Race marking night as weather for the weekend wasn’t favourable for the youngbirds with high winds and frequent showers forecasted. A Total of 533 members of the Mighty N.I.P.A. sent 17,805 Birds to Roscrea for the fourth race of the 2023 Youngbird programme. The Birds were liberated in Roscrea Liberation site at 8:00 AM on Friday morning the 11th of August in clear skies and with a Light Southerly Wind.

RAPID VELOCITYS FROM ROSCREA
The Winning Bird from the fourth youngbird race of the season belongs to N. Weir of Loughall H.P.S in Section E.
Many Congratulations to Nelson Weir on claiming 1st Open N.I.P.A. from Roscrea from 17,805 Birds. 2nd & 3rd Open was G&S Smith of Cookstown Social in Section A. Congratulations to all after clocking great velocities.
