N.I.P.A. HAVE A DALE OF A TIME

JOURNEY’S END - N.I.P.A NOTES – SECTIONS C, D, F, & G
The N.I.P.A. where scheduled to make the journey across the channel from in Talbenny in Wales for the annual Talbenny Youngbird National. There was a slight change in plan with the Race point having to be moved further down Wale by only a couple of miles to Dale. Our Team in the N.I.P.A have worked very hard on this matter and put the safety of everyone’s birds first as always and a great job they do even when problems arise in such a short time before a big race. Members Sent their 20 Bird Limit Teams through their allocated Centres on Thursday to make the journey across the channel for Saturday Morning Release. A Total of 351 members of the Mighty N.I.P.A. sent 2,875 Birds to the Dale Youngbird Channel National.
