TPCI 2025 Race Schedule .pdf

Attention all members.

On Saturday 5th July we will have a race from Somerton, and our final race from Nowendoc.

We also have our Grizzle Race from Somerton ($10/bird).

The limit for each race is 30 birds, with all birds to be distributed evenly in available baskets, this way we can ensure that we have equal numbers of birds in each basket. (No more own baskets).

Basketing will be on Friday at the usual place.

Thanks everybody.

 

 

 

Hi all Members. It appears that we can get through to Nowendoc on the Gravel road, which has been, or is being graded at the moment, therefore we will go ahead with our original Race Schedule.

We will still have 2 Races, but they will be Liberated at the same time (mass). We only have 12 baskets available, which apparently hold 60 birds/basket.

So everybody will have their own basket, in which you can put up to 50 birds, plus 5 + 5 to be nominated for each race. Its up to each individual if you want to send 60 or less birds.

By using the above schedule, our 20 year old ute won't have to tow a trailer on the old gravel road. 

Please Note: Craig said he will go to Nowendoc for the first race, but if he thinks or finds that the road is not suitable, especially driving at night (for the later races, eg Gunnedah and Coonabarabran), we may have to revert to Shedule D as discussed last Tuesday.
