Hi Everyone

As promised, I will bring you all up to date with the arrangements for the 5-bird race from Fermoy to be flown on Saturday 20^th August. The members of the NIPA voted for this race to be flown earlier in the young bird programme, it is not usually flown until after Talbenny YB National.

The arrangements put in place for this race to be flown have now been amended and all other arrangements have been cancelled

The new arrangements are as follows, I appreciate they will not suit everyone,

1, The race will be flown on Saturday 20^th August 2022 weather permitting

2, All pigeons will be race marked at your club and collected by the transporter

3, All pigeons race marked for Fermoy & the Five Bird will be spread as evenly as possible over all club crates. There will be no exceptions permitted

4, You will pay your entry fee for the Five Bird to your club. Your Club will forward all entry forms and cheque via the transporter

5, Your club will arrange with another club for two members of their club to oversee the race marking of all five bird entries, it should be possible to arrange this as many members are not racing young birds

6, If you record an arrival from the Five Bird Race you must have your clock checked off at your centre no exceptions are permitted

7, If you do not record an arrival from the 5 Bird Race you will be able to have your clock checked at your club

8, All pigeons will compete for NIPA Open and Section positions in Fermoy young bird race

9 The NIPA will produce an open & section results for both races

Best Regards
