The officers and members deeply regret the passing of long time member Jack McDowell after a short spell in hospital. The partnership of Jack and sons John and Jeremy had great success going back for as long as I can remember. Last season the team had two early birds and took 1st & 2nd Open in the NIPA Talbenny YB National, I set up a special photo just a few weeks back. Sincere condolences to the family at this very sad time.

Mid Antrim Combine birds were back in Fermoy for the 5th race of the old bird season, liberation was delayed until Sunday at 14.50hrs in a Lt SE wind. Winning birds were taking under 5 hours but many did not make it on the day. Rasharkin and J & M Milliken in particular were best again, they timed a yearling hen on total widowhood at 19.27hrs to record velocity 1323 for the 208 miles. The breeding was one of their long distance Dutch stock, Sjaak Buwalda remember that name.
