Hi Sarfraz,

There was a bit of confusion on the date for the Birdrace as can be seen from the turnout.

Kevin and John made up team A with Bob I and Bob R in Team B. I was the late starting single!

There's always the Summer Race later this year!

Regards,

David.

Hello Dave,

I actually did think to myself I am sure it is on the 13th but then I thought it was going to be a day before the AGM as there was talk about it at the meeting. Anyway will have to attend the summer one.....even though it is very early!

Who went upon to Hassy Moor?

Hi Sarfraz,

John & Kevin went on Hassy Moor and saw 40 Goldies but no Red Grouse and I also went on and saw a Red Grouse but no Goldies!

See you in Summer!

Regards,

David.

I missed it as well - didn't feel too good and had next Sunday on the calender.
Maybe we could do a rerun if others are interested!
Don't forget the AGM on Monday.
Ian

Hi Ian

I wouldn't be averse to doing a re run.  I know Bob and Pat are busy this weekend so maybe Jan 28th would be a good date?

cheers Kevin
