SEPTEMBER 2009 NEWSLETTER
The Twins our fourth race for the year saw 136 birds entered and released at 7.20 am Sunday along with 4110 SAHPA birds. A fine day with a westerly wind made for a good 600 kms race with around 8 hours on the wing.
In a very tight finish A & M Brown were the winners from Kokolalis & Mitris with Gully Syndicate (Trevor Hains) third. Only four seconds separated these three birds that were well clear of the remainder of the field. The Temora Syndicate also had a good race with 3 birds in the top 30 for which they receive an additional $200 prize. Congratulations to the winners and the prizewinners.
Alan & Mark Brown are having a very good season with their bird MTD 983 leading in the Bird of the Year and being joint leaders of the Aggregate Points with just one race remaining.
The final race for the season is on 26th September from Marla (Approx 943 kms).
Membership for the 2010 season is full. This happened quicker than expected and shows the interest in the club and its 5-race concept. Unfortunately, a number of members who intended to re-join waited too long and missed out. Those interested in coming back for the 2011 season should let us know and we will place you on our waiting list. There has been a very strong increase in membership from flyers in Victoria and Western Australia.
